Wowwwww Just wow! Awesome. Would any of these still exist in the Yarra?

Berley? I don't use in the Yarra, but would bread crumbs and sardines be OK at Tooradin/Warneet?

Thanks shazzagraz. Yep always put 'em back, unlike the carp. I'm worlds best toady catcher [Merimbula mainly]

Wow thank you for all the detail Cheater. That is just great. and gives me a lot of places to explore. Thanks so much! Carp, farewell, toadies here I come :banana:

Living in the Dandenongs my fishing has been almost exclusively in the Yarra. I just realised today that Tooradin is less than an hour away :doh1: Is there any opportunity for shore based fishing around Tooradin - Warneet. Be good to have another option up my sleeve.

Put in a few hours at Wonga Park this morning for zero. Had been fishing for a couple of hours when a group of yahoos decided to swim in the same pool. At the risk of sounding like a grumpy old man, there seems to be a distinct lack of common sense and courtesy in evidence today. So packed my stuff ...

I don't have a boat and suspect that carrying a depth sounder along the shore line would not help greatly. Does the shore based angler have a reasonable chance of ...

I've just been wondering if anyone has caught or heard of blackfish being caught in Lilydale Lake. I know for sure they are in Olinda Creek above and below the lake, so it seems strange not to find a few hiding in there. :water:

Just spent 2 weeks at Merimbula and the fishing is just dead. I think the water is still too cold. Nothing happening in the lake or surf, and I understand the offshore fishing is very hard work. Disappointing, but saw heaps of whales and enjoyed gallons of cappacino :waving:
