Waranga Basin

Post by davek » Mon Sep 25, 2017 10:14 am

My brother and I broke the old man out of the nursing home for a day fishing, well it wasn't all about fishing, so we settled on the shore of Waranga Basin for easy access and enjoyed the day out. Only caught 3 carp at 50cm and 4 small reddies, the only downside was with all the room along the shoreline some jet skiers decided that right beside us was a good place to park and carry on right in front of us. cheers davo

It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

Doesn't get much better than that Dave
Two barrels of salt, will fix them pesky jet skiers
I don't think it's closed season atm.

You're wrong there Gra.. Rules have changed for the coming season. No closed season anymore. They are a noxious species.. "They are all invasive species that potentially threaten wild ecosystems"
Cant even use them as bait or burley..

Good on you mate! I have been working with elderly and we don't see that often families making such an effort. I am sure your father had an awesome time!
