I hate those types of lakes wheee u cant take boats in the lakes rather a kayaking instead

Perfect size ................1-2 lb.Quote:

All good, fit and healthy returned to grow up so we can catch 'em in the future. We found a really good sand bank, where we expected to get a yellow belly or two, but just caught a few more silvers. I really didn't want to leave, but the real world needed attention.
I caught heaps of Silver Perch last January at Chowilla and didn't catch any Carp, was frustrating to have to let them go.Quote:

For those that use it, just keep an eye out.
I guess that's one way to get a new trailer.Quote:

Nah nothing specific other than police will do more patrols :)Quote:

Even if and I mean IF the coppers do waste their time and drive down to the ramp to patrol more often, it's still little comfort as it is still the easiest place for thieves.
Yeah Redfin highly under rated as a sport fish let alone as a table fish
I agree. How hard to put a internet camera up like they do at other places. Even surfers get cameras :( but I guess we would have to pay extra for that and seriously cops patrolling isn't going to do anything.Quote:

Oh well maybe we could send TD down to sort em out ;) :)
No Probs I'll sit and watch while having a few frothies lol
Edit forgot you can fish off the jetty there
You think the Mighty Murray Cod would fall for this beauty

I have seen those lures in a tank, and they do look like a real fish. But for that price, I would be hesitant to use it in and around the snags where cod lurk.Quote:

Spat the dummy big time as these spinner baits were the next best thing at the time, Pulled out my red Celta and pulled in a 2.5lb redfin, sweet revenge
Not one that I would use, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.Quote:

Not something you would use finish is it? More hunting game etc..
Yeah more hunting as in deer, just wondering if it would work on fish
Yeah I thought you were talking about something else. There's a fish gutting knife that is supposed to make things easier.
good to see we're on the same page, thought you were drifting there for awhile.lol
No doubt the fish gut hook is similar to the hunting one, we need to find some pics
Just read how the gut hook came about ,apparently it was to lift the billy off the fire
When is this wind gonna die down.
Tonight's tucker Attachment 39677

thought this was right for the fishing section, six seems too many in a hot climate if they are biting ,
4 seems a better target, just don't put your berly bucket on your belt lol
Has anyone fished the waters around Mathoura NSW, going there tomorrow morning, for a three day Bucks weekend.
