Fishing Victoria Forum

Hi guys,

Me and the wife are going up to Barmah (from Melbourne) to camp and fish for the weekend coming up. I grew up on the Murray (Mildura) but haven't fished for years. Will be taking up some worms and hope to catch some shrimp once we get there. Would really love to catch a yellow belly or if we get really lucky a cod - are they still likely to be biting this time of year?

Also been told to use cheese as well so will give that a whirl - has anyone else had luck with cheese?

Lastly I will also try some soft plastics (got both lifelike shrimp and yabbies) - never use either but again has anyone else had luck pulling anything out of the mighty murray with these?

Thanks in advance.

Worms & shrimp are good
And so is cheese, mozzarella stays on best, but you can use the "Condom stuff" for cubed cheese. Saw it used, but, I don't check out other blokes condoms

Thanks for your reply Gra.

I am into cheese but not sure what this condom stuff for cubed cheese you're talking about haha. Without providing photos (no need to scare anyone) can you please explain what that is? :thumbsup:

Cool mate. As we are travelling up from down Mornington Peninsula way we are trying to keep the travelling time to no more than 3 and a half hours each way so Echuca / Barmah are closest to Murray for us.
