Fishing Victoria Forum

It varied. Most were around the 20cm mark. If that. A couple of larger specimens were hauled in, too. Maybe leftovers from a previous stocking.

Powerbait-brand nuggets are the way to go, I rip off half and re-roll it so its nice and snug on my hook (Size 8 hooks is a must). I can tell you I have fished at karkarook park before and caught rainbow trouts with Powerbait-brand nuggets.

Wondering how the carp are in this lake? Usual spot is Patterson lakes but wanting to try a new spot where I can catch big ones.
If anyone has any good tips for coarse angling in this area or know certain spots please let me know heading down tomorrow!!
