Eels on the Yarra At Herring Island

Post by ChrisD » Sun Jan 31, 2016 9:07 pm

Went looking for Bream again at Herring Island tonight, instead found three eels.....and no Bream.
Even though I didn't get any bream, the eels were fun to catch

Ohhh 12 months ago - bit of a memory test - but would say it was evening, and probably rising or high tide.
that is when I usually fish the Yarra in the city.
