Fishing Victoria Forum

Hey guys,

I went down to Roxburgh Park Lake targeting redfin, i caught about 4, all of them were tiny, between 5-10cm.

I spoke to another fisherman and he reckons they are all that size and wont grow.....

Has anyone fished Roxburgh Park Lake recently or anywhere close by? Catch anything?

Cheers

Welcome to the forum. Can't help you out with that lake sorry , but gee thats a HUGE redfin....not ! ..lol
You would maybe think there would be something big in there that gave birth to that tiny fish ! ? .
The old bloke might just be saying that to get rid of you fishing his water hole . Hehehehe
Cheers , Rick

Hahaha do you know of any good areas near Roxburgh Park/Broadmeadows?

Even if there is only carp, i dont mind.

Cheers

Welcome to the site :waving: Redfin do have a habit of 'stunting' when over populated. They also have a habit of over populating! Must be a few bigger models in there.

Thanks Jim

Hey mate what was the little redfin a caught on ?
I know jack ropper reserve lake on camp road broadmeadows i find on the cold rainy days are the best last time heavy rainy day we caught 2 carp at probably about 1-2pm

Shu Habib redfin were caught on live worms, caught heaps of em. The fishing/bait shop on mohaneys rd sell worms for $10 a punnet.

hi mate. if you live in roxy i would be going down to deepcreek at bulla it has some thumping redfin,tench and carp and is a great place to catch huge eels in the evening. cheers
