The murray is really like that? Cause to be honest as I am sort of newer I just want to get out and find a place where I can catch fish with a bit more ease. I want to practice timing the strike right and fighting the fish, and I also don't mind what I catch, cause I release anyway (excluding carp)...

The nong down at Canning Reserve in Avondale Heights is great for bream fishing, most fish are undersized but there's a few keepers among them. If this falls within your 15km radius I'd suggest giving that a go, prawns or pilchard for bait. Canning reserve is the oval down the bottom of the hill is...

Depends on your 10km limits but if you just want to catch a fish then the ‘nong or Williamstown piers will work if you fish a running rig with a Berley/feeder cage as a sinker as CT suggested , 30cm or so of 4lb line to a #12 or #14 hook with a little bit of raw chicken on it. Will catch you pretty...

Thats a shame, if youve found a nice little spot to fish at then persist with it. As Sebb said the more it warms up the more active the carp will become. Try different baits as well. Over the years I have used everything such as maggots, worms, corn, bread, dough, snails and mealworms. Unfortunatel...

When I say outside of Brimbank I mean areas like Arundel Rd and also under the calder Hwy. And also near the Quarter mile bridge ( Dont know if this still exists!) Yep, no good. Headed out to Arundel road today. Found a nice little spot and went 3 hours without a bite. Beautiful day but, cant compl...

Im heading out to the Maribyrnong river tomorrow somewhere around Brimbank park. Im taking one of my mates who has never been fishing before, and I am somewhat of a newbie myself. I am wondering if anyone has any tips of where or how to fish the Nong around Brimbank. Based off other information I ha...

Ben, I grew up fishing the Nong and Brimbank Park many moons ago and used to fish it coarse style. I fished it all year round and found that the carp wouldnt start biting until mid Oct. Plenty of eels in September but if I did get carp at this time they would be a good size. As Sebb said burleying ...

I usually go walking walking in brimbank park but haven’t seen much fishing happening there for years. Last time I fished there was probably 20 years ago. I am keen to hear a report of how you went. Good luck!!! If you don't see many people fishing maybe they know something I don't! But i'll defini...

we should be expecting Carp and Reddies. I was going to take bread and corn for the carp, as well as worms for both, and some soft plastic grubs for the reddies. Is this what we should be taking? Cheers Ben. Yup, spot on! Running sinker rig with size #2 hook. Rod holder. Camping chairs and a drink ...
