My advice is in deeper water jig and then let it sink a little but I’m as inexperienced as you

Haha agreed. Nothing fancy. One of the boys was on a bass trip. Or maybe hunting to a relatively remote part of the snowy and came across a fairly scary looking bloke who was somewhere that no one should really be without a reason. Think he had a few pockmarks etc. anyway one thing led to another an...

I found yesterday rough fishing too, I think we're onto something about the moon!

Headed out for last nights low tide with a spear, net, head torch and low expectations. I haven’t done any lamping in a while so I made the most of the glassy calm conditions and headed out from Carrum. I was wearing waders but I was still extremely cold, and for the first hour I waded around really...

Got the opportunity to get out and have a fish close to home - so decided to hit the Barwon river with the yak for the first time since moving to geelong a few months ago. Good weather and a little wind - the main plan was just to get out, do some sounding, get a bit more familiar with sidescan, the...

Good day, We have seen some wonderful reports including some great photos but I get exasperated when the fish is deliberately thrust so far forward towards the camera that it is impossible to judge it's real size. For goodness sake, this is a fishing forum. We love seeing photos but they mean a lot ...

2020/21 Melbourne Metro Carp Re-opening! Well the Melb Metro 2020/21 Carp re-opening was off to a solid start - didn't even have enough time to set-up my second rod (literally within 5 minutes) before the first one went off! On the end was a solid Carp, just shy of 70cm. I only just chucked in the ...

It's been so long between drinks it's easy to forget just how exciting a hot surface bite is. Every cast for 30 odd minutes was boofs, swirls, splashes, pulled hooks, flying lures and a handful that actually stuck.

I finally succeeded recently using a running sinker rig with 2 kernels of corn on a very small hook (size 10? a bit bigger than what I use for garfish). I think the secret might have been throwing in the leftover corn from the past few trips, but haven't got any more since. I normally cast out, clos...

I spent yesterday afternoon fishing the Malmsbury reservoir at Kyneton and it did not let me down. I got ten carp ranging from 30cm to 55cm and lost several others. As usual, corn was the best bait accounting for the majority of the fish, but the two biggest were caught on worms from my backyard. No...
