I just left there did 2 hours for to Redfin 1-26cm 1-15cm so there are a number of different sized Redfin there. A group of kids on push bikes were building a jump (reminded me of my childhood) asked how I went them told me there is a lot in there and some bigger than 30cm (or as they said a school ruler) and apparently a resident eel and no carp. Heaps of beer cans tells me these kids aren't the only ones who know of this subtle little spot

So sorry for my ignorance I know of two bodies of water in the park, a small lake closest to the road and the main lake further on which is east.

Good job getting fish anyway!

The reference was to the google screen shot already in the thread, thereby saving you google time.

Got ya now cheers.

Big Gav is that not a private dam then? Seems a strang place for a public water hole. I'm going to try and hit up Aura Vale lake over the next few months to bag some Redfin.

Hit up the retarding basin with seephil and his trusty sidekick Stella! One fish is better than not fishing
