victoria Can You Catch Yellowtail Scad In Frankston Area

[kingfisheroo]

So i have been fishing for awhile now, but it is only recently that my father has bought a boat. I would like to go for the big reds with him but i do not want to always spend money on bulks of bait. I have heard that yellowtail scad are great bait and that they are in PPB, can anyone tell me if they are in the frankston area?

And if anyone has any tips for catching the big reds in PPB please let me know!

Cheers

Okay, no replies coming in…

 

My knowledge of the area is from the years 1998 & 99 while working across Melbourne in the construction industry and living in Frankston for a year and Mordialloc for a year.

 

In those times some y/tail scad, garfish and squid could be caught off any jetty from Mornington to Seaford.

 

2 guys I worked with at the time were keen snapper fishers and we would fish at least 2 afternoons a week after work (the only positive for daylight saving) We would fish the 17-19 metre line out from  Mornington to Seaford especially around the Frankston area.

 

Half pillies and squid were the popular baits for snapper at that time.

Plenty of Yakka schools in 7m out the front of Mile Bridge as well.
