Freshwater Fishing in Geelong

Post by Angus1722 » Fri Oct 20, 2017 9:01 pm

Hey guys!

I'm new to this forum, but I'm looking for good spots to fish for Redfin in Geelong. What time of day, where, what do I use (rig and bait / lures). My aim is to catch a nice redfin, but despite fishing most afternoons, I can't seem to hook one! I've been fishing near Queens Park Bridge. There are ALOT of snags there and I've been having very little luck! Does anyone know any special spots?

Thanks!
Angus

Worms, small yabbies, mudeyes, minnows, to name a few good baits. Close to the bottom for the redfin, or under a float for a trout. Also lures such as spinners, spoons, bibbed minnows, work well. Early mornings or late afternoons would be the better times to fish.
