Turned out to be a cracker - nailed 3 X flounder (biggest went 40cm), 1 X 44cm Flathead and a 1 X Dart which went 38cm. All come in on the MT4144 and strip or worm baits with the Dart coming on the 8144 and a yakka fillet....

Sadly that set the scene for the rest of the evening, with well over 30 ray's caught and released, and no blasted fish, except a very greedy pinky which swallowed a 5/0 hook intended for a Taylor or Salmon.

Went down to the local, started off slow and didn't get any bites while using the new Savage gear grub in bloodworm colour, then a critical knot failure saw my plastic part from the leader.
Fumbled around for a while and decided to throw on a Zman grubz in motoroil colour- 3rd cast I finally got a bite...

Started off drowning some worms and got a nice 'ting first cast- then I dropped a honker only feet from me! (spewing)
It was complete mayhem- as soon as I cast out I was getting bites but no hookups- the bait was gone within seconds of it hitting the water.
In between this I did manage a double header on Tarwhine, which was particularly special as I dont regularly see these around my local...

If there is a preference why? Does the direction bring on more weed or something or is it just better to cast with it behind your back. On saying that, when I fish freshwater lakes I prefer to cast into the wind as I believe the incoming waves stir up the food.

Last but not least, I guess the term back beaches is in reference to the ocean beaches as opposed...

We launch from Werribee boat ramp at 6.30am in glass like waters and red skies. We shoot across Port Phillip Bay to target squid. As soon as we started the action was frantic, and we landed our bag limit of calamari in just 30 minutes.

We were using a range of squid jigs...
