Fishing Victoria Forum

I grew up in northern Vic and started fishing (bait) with my dad. I found native fish hard to come by back then in the late 70's and 80's. I spent a lot of time also biking it around the local channels chasing redfin and the occasional trout with lures. The good old days...the only lures I generally...

............. I'd buy you a coffee to see that video! :-D With full brake, it's almost impossible to backlash a baitcast nowadays. But you wont get the distance and the smoothness/accuracy as much. I have never used normal baitcast reels on full brake. When you say it is impossible to backlash them...

As I mentioned previously, they sell at Boats & More for $45 vs $60 at the local BCF! $45 is still a lo...

When the Curado DC arrived, a local tackle store had one set up on a Loomis rod. I did my best to 'birdnest' it and succeeded a few times! The 'DC' concept reduces the chance of error but does not eliminate it. That's the way I see it anywsy. Are you looking at buying one Seb?

We were at Snobs Creek hatchery today loading trout eggs into the Jordan-Scotty incubators. Jaala obviously needed a 'rent a crowd' for her announcement so we were it! Previously I have done well to avoid her during her visits to my work when she was the minister for ag. Anyway, she doesn't seem too...

Heard a rumour Rob Paxevanos will be the keynote speaker!

Has been overlooked again!
