Fishing Victoria Forum

My young fella had been itching to give APL a crack, with all the good reports floating around, so we decided to give tonight a go. We couldnt raise any yellas but ran into fellow forum member Basti who spotted a few but they were just not interested.

After a while my boy gave up on the yellas and started flicking his norries laydown out into the open and on his first cast he managed a liitle EP.
I was still flicking at structure and hoping for a yella when he landed another small EP. Two in two cast! I thought stuff the yellas I'm going for EPs now. I switched over to my hurricane switch and I managed a small EP as well. Then a few minutes later I connected on a really good fish. It certainly gave a good account for itself and as I was playing it my young fella also hooked up. Two nice EPs around the low 30s each. I managed to land another small EP and when it went quiet we decided to call it quits. No yellas for us but not a bad liilte session.

Well done father and son duo. I can only dream of such outings with my kids when they get older.
Cheers

Well done mate
Good team work

Coffee shop closed, he has nothing to report on

Nice report mate.
It’s so close from my place and yet I have never given it a go. I’m thinking of going to check it out now :thumbsup:

FYI dougie, there are multiple places to get a coffee around that lake. I'm never in danger of going without haha. Fishing trips are few and far between these days with full time work. If i'm fishing with Maz, i usually just let him handle the reporting.

I was waving a few flies around this day. Spotted around 7 yellas and got a look in from about four of those but no commitment. I did lose a quickly stripped woolly bugger to a small ep due to a dodgy knot but nothing else to report.

Thanks guys.

It’s great having a fishing buddy you can quickly organise something with. I’m working on my other son now who is 7 years old. He can cast a bit but he gets bored quickly unless the fish are really biting.

Highly recommend it Lx. I spoke to another fisho last night who has caught plenty of yellas there and was kind enough to give me some tips. He also spotted a few last night but he thinks they might have been a bit shut down. A big thanks also to fellow forum members on here who write up reports. It’s so handy having a native fishery close to home.

When you fished there, did you try other lures on the yellow belly?
