🦑 **CHASING SQUID THIS AUGUST? START HERE.**

Before you tie on the same jig you always use and hope for the best, grab our **August Squid Guide**.

We’ve pulled together the stuff anglers actually want to know:

🎣 What to look for
🎣 Where squid are likely to be holding
🎣 What conditions matter
🎣 Jig choice and presentation
🎣 A few things that might save you from a very quiet session

It’s made for Victorian anglers, it’s practical, and it’s free to download.

**Download the August Squid Guide now and get a better game plan before the weekend.**

Because “we’ll just give it a crack” is a strategy…

…but it’s not always a good one. 😏

🎣 **SUNDAY NIGHT FISHING DEBRIEF**

Alright… how’d the weekend really go?

Be honest.

✅ Bagged a few
✅ Got one decent fish and told everyone it was “non-stop action”
✅ Lost the best fish of the trip
✅ Spent more time untangling rigs than actually fishing
✅ Didn’t go, but still checked the weather 14 times

Winter fishing in Victoria can be brutal, brilliant… or a complete stitch-up.

So let’s hear it.

**What was your weekend result?**
Photos, fish tales, near misses and donut sessions all welcome 👇

🚨 BEFORE YOU HIT THE WATER… CHECK THE BAIT.

Nothing ruins a Saturday morning faster than opening the freezer and finding something that looks like it remembers 2023.

VTackle has fresh bait ready to go - worms, prawns, pilchards, squid, pipis, mussels, burley and more.

So before you launch:

🎣 Grab the rods
🎣 Check the weather
🎣 Check the tide
🎣 And for the love of fishing… grab fresh bait

We’ve got you sorted in-store and you can order online and pick up instore! Open from 9am....

Who’s already up and heading out this morning? 👇

🌊 **THE FISH DON’T WEAR WATCHES. BUT THEY DEFINITELY KNOW WHEN THE WATER’S MOVING.**

If you fish Port Phillip Bay, Western Port or the Victorian coast, your tide chart should be getting nearly as much attention as your tackle box.

Because some of the best fishing windows can come when the water starts moving — not necessarily when you finally get around to launching the boat.

Our **2026/27 Victorian Tide Chart** puts the important stuff in one spot:

🎣 Tide times & heights
🌕 Moon phases
🌊 Spring & neap tides
☀️ Sunrise & sunset
📍 Key Victorian reference locations
🐟 Best fishing periods

Perfect for the shed wall, boat, tackle room… or anywhere else you stand around pretending you’re “planning” instead of avoiding jobs.

**Save it. Screenshot it. Use it.**

Then tell us:

👇 Are you a **tide planner**… or a **“we’ll just see what happens when we get there”** fisherman?
