I go to Ovens myself almost once a week.. It produced quite good until june but little bit down these days. I went there last monday....afternoon... spinned metal lure for 4hrs until sunset..... managed to catch two little fishes which I dont even know...red color but look very similar to flathead..anyone know what this is? Getting down to Ovens from your car is not too hard as you think..but be very careful not to slip over as there are some very slipery spots on the way down. You wont need a rope to get down...just few minutes walk along the rocks....with caution...thats all Ovens is a well known spot for catching kings, bonnies and salmons especially on summer.. Good luck guys...hope you guys will have a great day..

Hi everyone... I'm a new member..Its very nice to see lots of articles and replies updated everyday. I usually go to Whale beach(ovens) or Avoca beach, spinning 50g metal lure(Halco) from the rock. I went to Avoca beach last monday, but came home empty hand.. Very disappointed as I used to catch at least one salmon every time I went fishing. I want to ask the raiders couple of questions as I am a beginner fisho. 1. Is spinning a metal lure not suitable at this season from the rock? I target kings all the time although I usaully end up with salmons. 2. What kind of line shoud I use? (lbs? mono or braid?) I heard Berkely Fireline is good. 3. Any better method to fish at this season? I want to target some other species if I know how. Hope I can get some useful info from here... Help me plz~Raiders!
