First trip to the Maribyrnong
Well first trip to the Nong was......interesting.
Started in Edgewater and within 30 seconds of my first baits , worms, hitting the water something hit the rod like a freight train and started taking line. I finally stopped it taking line, 10 seconds of fight and the line found it's breaking strain frown emoticon . No idea what it was but was hoping it was a good sign. Unfortunately it was not the case. after an 1 and half hours, and 3 spots round the lake with zero bites I decide to head out to the river.
After nearly two hours on the river, and 4 different spots all I managed was 7 little bait stealing gudgeons.
On the upside no one else seemed to be catching anything.
Tomorrow I might switch it up and see how the trout are biting up in Warburton.

Mate caught 4 trout today around dee road near millgrove today on worms and 1 on a red and black celta. Might be worth a look pal. Some nice looking water around there and the river is at perfect levels. They fished between 7am and 11am.

Re: First trip to the Maribyrnong
Yes even catching nothing but Gudgeons, at least means it was not a trip for donuts
Hopefully chasing trout tomorrow will prove luckier - might start in Millgrove and work my way along the hwy where there is river access.

Re: First trip to the Maribyrnong
You should have hooked one of those Gudgeon and used it as a live bait for Mulloway, thats a good size Gudgy.
There ae some nice Pinkies around Edgewater ATM, and that is what might taken your worms.
I am going to give you a super tip for fishing the area ATM and that is to get yourself some Banana prawns from safeway
and you will catch Pinkies in the Nong.

Re: First trip to the Maribyrnong
I understand your thinking, and you are correct, however, Banana prawns in the Nong will out fish any other bait for targeting Pinkies specifically.4liters wrote:fixedfishpod wrote:You should have hooked one of those Gudgeon and used it as a live bait for Mulloway, thats a good size Gudgy.
