Yeah I’m not sure if I should take light gear or heavier rods.

Even just for a few hook ups would be alright on the light gear but I’m guessing couple hours max either side of tide

Nice what size sinkers did you use was it around slack tide . Will a 8oz hold when water is running .

Re: Sheepwash and Barwon river
I used whole pilchards rigged so they could swim in the current. I incorporated a marble sized sinker into the rig so it sat under the pilchards chin. The baits depth would depend on the speed of the current, but usually it would only be a metre or two below the surface. I also used live bait under a balloon from time to time. I fished mainly at night.Addicted2fishing wrote:Nice what size sinkers did you use was it around slack tide . Will a 8oz hold when water is running .
