thanks for the tips!Blue wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2019 8:32 pmBen 475, See Mark at the store,he has Lakes Entrance prawns and they are a real good size.
Peel the body, leave the head on, thread a Shiner style hook from the tail up into the body with barb out thru the belly, a hitch or to around the tail and you have the perfect bait to float down or use the tiniest of sinkers.
Try to be fishing the edges at first light, fish guaranteed.
During the day,try drifting across the flats up near the Entrance ,there are drop offs there and anything can jump on.
These things worked over the recent long weekend, check out the big goanna that hangs around the storm hut near channell entrance, he loves a free feed of snags.
Good luck, it doesn,t get much better than The Bemm.

Re: Bemm River
Not that long but just go slow and enjoy the surroundings. Keep a memory of your surroundings or leave a track on your gps so you can find your way back out. I’m sure there are fish up there but I didn’t get into any. it looks very perchy along the banks near the reeds and under the trees. Plenty of snags. Surely be some big flatties I’d reckon too but yet to be proven.
