Freezing as one would expect along the lakes.. took a boat out one day, but not the best conditions (flood warnings and all). Caught nothing, but managed to have a family of dolphins follow us closely for a good hour.
Most locals I spoke to said the fishing is a bit bad at the moment, so we gave the boardwalk a go with low expectations... Somehow within 1hour managed to catch 5 well sized Silver Trevally along Metung boardwalk of all places! (my first trev as well!) Just on soft plastic grubs and light gear. That was a surprise, and a relief that it wasn't a wasted roadtrip. They stuck around a little while before the school of trevally figured it out and moved on... I savoured every hook up and let them fight for it! They sure play hard for a relatively small fish
Will definitely be back for summer! Hopefully to find the Bream and Flathead I was searching for in the first place... As for boating locations around Metung, I was clueless and kinda took it as it came trying to find flathead locations. Better luck next time
