Not me, although the wind is light I would expect the slop to take a while to calm down.
(If I had the time I would still go)

About the only place that I know of that fishing has apparently improved after commercial scallop dredging and fish netting was restricted/ banned is Port Phillip Bay. Apparently the fishing really improved. I personally don't know first hand as I haven't  been fishing there for about 5 decades but I am going down there in several weeks so will give it a good bash. Corio Bay still is permitted to netfish and scallop dredge but that will be stopped in 2022.
I used to go snorkeling/spearfishing in the bay when I was 16 off the rocks at Mt.Martha there were nice weed beds with plenty of fish, cuttlefish, octopus ect. then about 8 years later I went there again and the area was a desert, with a slime/sludge/silt covering most of the reef areas there, no more seaweed and no life, it was totally devastated. The cause from what I was told was the scallop dredging.
It will be interesting to see if the sea life has returned. Although I won't  be snorkeling, too damned cold for me now, I don't go in the water nowadays unless it's at least 23C now, but will try and throw in a line there if I get a chance and see if I can catch something.
I have a buddy down Seaford who still dives inside and outside the bay about 2-3 times a week for the same period of years and will ask him if he has noticed any change.
 

G'day everyone,
I am back from an amazing part of Australia and have some stories to tell and things to share. 
There is a lot to catch up on with real work and the new lure business also, I will get to photos videos etc as soon as time allows.
Rather than doing a full report with heaps of photos etc like i would normally, I will be doing small videos and releasing photos slowly to get whatever mileage I can to promote the business. (I don't expect I will be doing a trip like this for a very long time so I need to make the most of it).
I am expecting to release small videos of the trip on FB and the Gobblers web site so if you would like to follow that part of the journey you can.
One of the best investments I made before the trip was to buy that drone. It gives a whole new level of appreciation when you see where we were and the amazing places we saw.
Here is a small sample of what I mean.😉

Looking forward to the stories as you unfold them.
 
Welcome back.

Went up to 1770 over the weekend with Lance headed out early Saturday morning stopped and got livies then had a quick look at a close wreck with no luck. Put the throttle down and aimed for our 1st spot up around the reefs it was glassing out and we were loving the weather.
The 1st drop with live yakkas didn't take long with the livie shaking on the line it was inhaled by a nice trout. This was the next couple of hours fishing as baits just hit the bottom you were on, we got good trout and moarie cod on the livies but they soon ran out as silly us didn't take enough up. 
The red throat emperor were scarce as were the tuskies and by midday it had shut down we fished hard for not much but the ever present hussar. Late in the arvo we fished some red emperor ground and were rewarded with a couple of these fish for the box. Losing big Reds was heart braking on a couple of drops and by sunset it was time to find our anchorage.
It was a calm night and the next day was the same we didn't get any wind above 5 knots for the 2 days. The sea was like glass and we cruised to all our spots chipping away at our bag of reefies but again by midday it just shut down. Lunch and a few beers was a good way to bide the time till we headed for the red grounds and yes another red hit the deck.
We droped the anchor again in the same spot for sunday night with the wind finally increasing a bit after we had dinner it got to 20 knots but we had a good spot behind the reef. Monday morning the wind had dropped off and we found some more mixed reefies before we headed for a quick trip into fitzroy lagoon for a swim and a shower. The lagoon had crystal clear water with beautiful reef everywhere this was a great way to finish the trip.
We stopped in town at a freinds place for the night and drove home the next day then got a picture of the catch before filleting.

My Mate is not into trolling much so we'll  have to see about a Sailfish.
Most of the time will be the Estuaries I think, chasing Barra.

Thanks everyone for the good wishes.
I hope the fishing is good locally and you all get amongst them.

Here's what you're aiming for.
He looks a like more like you, than me.

Congrats on your first SP flathead.
The more you use them the more your confidence will grow. One advantage is at a drop of a hat you can go fishing without having to stop for bait.
Here's what your aiming for.

1770 getting closer by the day for you. 

No need to travel far when you know how fish 😉
I'd go out just to catch the Mosses perch.

Sailfish or bust mate!!! 😂
you should get onto plenty of good bottom fish too mate, trout, sweet lip and finger mark and all that sort of fun stuff. Should be a great RnD tax write off... 🤑🤑🤑
