wow, what a great article. If i lived that far up the yarra, i would be targeting trout. Good to see the guy hitting up the carp and good to see that he clearly enjoys it.

No Redfin at Albert Park.
Strange, but true
There is always more to learn , fish to catch , places to see and friends to make.
