Got one down at the creek today - slightly disappointed to only get one as conditions were ideal - warm and humid - but one is better than none I suppose...

Headed down to the creek on Melbourne Cup Day and got this bad boy. It did not give in Without A Fight . Pretty devastated I forgot my brag-mat, 'cause this thing was huge, mid-70s I reckon. I also had one get off - I think the fight from this one really loosened the knot. Conditions were perfect fo...

Went to Lake Fyans yesty and did something I couldn't do the day prior; and that is actually catch a fish, namely a Redfin. Nothing like the gigantic proportions old mate managed to land at Lake Wendouree the other day, but a fish is a fish. Hot pink Tassie Devil did the damage. Went to Taylors Lake...

SPOILER: BIG REDFIN ALERT!!! Had to drive to Ballarat yesterday to take my Dad for a medical appointment. Had a bit if down time, so did what any sane person would do...and that is go for a fish at Lake Wendouree. Some guy there caught a huge redfin on a flyrod and gave it to my Dad. My Dad was wra...

Heard the Carp are on the chew down at the local creek, so thought I'd give it a go - was too good of a day not to. Got this fella about half-an-hour into the session - my only bite of the night. Came out of nowhere pretty much. Corn kernels on a paternoster rig did the damage. +1 2023/24: 2 (2042)

Just for something different... Did a bit of 'spinning' today for a couple of nice Redfin. Preparation of fish The flesh of the redfin is white, sweet and very much dryer than that of other river fish. Preparation for cooking is not easy. Even the best of fish scalers are useless on the tough hide o...

Cornacarpio is kicking things off early this season! Was warm enough to go fishing today - in winter - so I did, and got this little beauty, from the creek, from locally sourced worms. Despite using a 10ft telescopic surf rod designed for mega-Carp, it put up a terrific fight. Truth be told, I have...

Got these 4 down the creek on the 13th March, 2023. Went back the next day in even better conditions and was expecting a doubly-big haul, but got zilch, but I guess that's just fishing. With daylight saving officially wrapping up today, I think that's me done for the 2022/2023 'season'. My fishing e...

Got this slab down the creek the other day (05/03/2023).

Got him after throwing a whole can of corn in as burley.
