Who is fishing over Easter?

Post by April Fool » Wed Apr 17, 2019 1:00 pm

Hi all
Who is going for a fish over the long weekend...and what will be the target species? Or do you avoid the crowds and forget about the fish? I am likely going for a late arvo/nocturnal yabbie hunt tomorrow arvo at the Nine Mile Creek. I don't think there will be much there in the way of crowds!

I will throw a line in with a slim chance of getting a native. The likely outcome will be carp which will happily find their way into my yabbie nets. My priority is to get yabbies to use as bait later on in May. When the Goulburn settles I want to have a good go at it.
Cheers
Team Bunny

Haven’t been keeping an eye on reports imagine if you focus on the 4-6meter depth around rhyll you will be in with a chance.

The warm weather will make piers and ramps worse than usual.

Don’t target them but have found them pretty spread out around that area.
