While we are only in Stage 3, those in Melbourne who are in Stage 4 are doing it extremely tough.<br \/>\nIt still makes it difficult for all of us to go about our daily business and how we deal with life on a day to day basis can be extremely difficult.<br \/>\nFisheries themselves it seems have also gone into lockdown. At least their media department has; there has not been one media release since June 26, which means there have been no new announcement or any illicit fishing activities, or other activities reported on their site.<br \/>\nHowever, these restrictions made me wonder how our angling clubs were coping.<br \/>\nTo say these clubs were in any way operating in a way they would have liked when they were open for business before these restrictions is truly an overstatement.<br \/>\nClubs are struggling in most cases, as are most other community groups and organisations.<br \/>\nIn the last lot of restrictions, some had tried to run competitions online with some success, trying to adjust to the lockdown conditions at the time.<br \/>\nNow all that work is out the door again and they are back to where they were as a result of the reintroduced restrictions.<br \/>\nKeith Miller of the <a href=\"http:\/\/lorneaquaticclub.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Lorne Aquatic and Angling Club<\/a> describes it as follows:<br \/>\n\u201cWell, we closed, we opened, we closed, we opened, and now we are closed until further notice. Hopefully, everyone will do the right thing and we can reopen sooner rather than later, and our lives can get back to normal.<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s all hard to believe. I still wake up some mornings and think it\u2019s all a bad dream.<br \/>\n\u201cWe have been very lucky down here in our beautiful little bubble to have escaped any COVID-19 cases so fingers crossed that continues.<br \/>\n\u201cHutch and his staff managed to open and run the club under difficult circumstances for a few weeks and they did a great job.<br \/>\n\u201cMost nights we reached our limited capacity and didn\u2019t have to turn too many away.<br \/>\n\u201cWe had a very dry but cold July so our three outside heaters were working overtime keeping everyone out on our deck and marquee warm and our tiny little indoor heater did the same inside. Now they are closed again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>My comment:<\/strong><br \/>\nI think this pretty accurately describes how most clubs and businesses would feel right now in our region. We have seen these same reactions in the media across Victoria, including those who are even more upset because they do not even have one coronavirus case in their area.<br \/>\nThe question most asked of me when I talk to people on this subject is how long I think this will last. I tell them I would hope no more than the remaining weeks in this current lockdown.<br \/>\nBut as I stated last week, common sense doesn\u2019t seem to be in abundance right now.<br \/>\nSo all we can do is wait and see what Daniel Andrews does and if this time his plans come to fruition. If they do, then hopefully we can all get back to loving and doing the things we enjoy including fishing the way we used to.<br \/>\nBut for the immediate future though I don\u2019t see it being quite the way things were.<br \/>\nFor now, everyone keep safe, do the right thing and show that common sense still prevails at least among all of us in our region.<br \/>\nI would also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone please keep those photos coming in of your own big catch!<br \/>\nWe will now even take older photos of your big catch previously if they have not yet been published.<br \/>\nPhotos: Please forward them to the email address below, with type of fish, weight, length, location, and your name. I am more than happy to place your photos in My Big Catch. Email photos to <strong>mybigcatch@bigpond.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fishing Reports<\/strong><br \/>\nCurrent weather conditions are also making things quite difficult across the board for most anglers<\/p>\n<p>Anglesea<br \/>\nReports have not improved<br \/>\nA few whiting had been reported<br \/>\nPinkies may still be around, but catches are few and far between<br \/>\nThe odd gummy shark was being reported<br \/>\nFlathead were being caught out deep but numbers were minimal<br \/>\nSome salmon are still being caught off local beaches.<br \/>\nThanks to the Rusty Anglers Angling Club Anglesea<\/p>\n<p>Barwon Heads<br \/>\nStill a few reports of snapper coming in<br \/>\nThe odd flathead has been reported<br \/>\nA few whiting were being reported offshore<br \/>\nSalmon catches are still being reported off local beaches<br \/>\nRiver reports are slow though the occasional whiting and trevally were being reported.<br \/>\nReports compliments of the Ocean Grove Angling Club<\/p>\n<p>Lorne<br \/>\nWe have been having some great fishing weather considering it\u2019s July\/August.
