Hi All.
I had a bit of time to kill, it was a nice day and I had some preserved sandworms left in the fridge from last season so I thought I will give the Mitchell a go. There have been lots of cars parked by the river bank lately, maybe tourists still to go home from the school holidays or perhaps the fish are on? I tried up and down the grassy bank and up the river closer to Bairnsdale, but I did not get a touch, the middle of the afternoon is not ideal and perhaps my worms were off, anyway it was good to get outside for a while after all the recent rain and cold. One thing I did notice was the litter that people are leaving behind on the river bank, how hard is it to take it home? I removed a bucket load but there was plenty left behind.
Cheers
Ango.

Re: Donuts on the Mitchell
I remember fishing the Mitchell river when I was a kid with my cousins. Just small bream and plenty of Mullet from memory. Regarding the rubbish, it staggers me that people/fishermen dump **** everywhere. I just don’t get it. Half of the attraction to fishing for me is finding a quiet spot on the waters edge and enjoy nature without reminders of what pigs people can be. Grinds my gears more than anything I reckon.

Re: Donuts on the Mitchell
The Tambo should be fishing well this time of year

Re: Donuts on the Mitchell
Depending on how much rain you've had lately the deeper sections around the silt jetties and eagle point would be worth a crackango wrote: ↑Sat Jul 18, 2020 4:57 pmHi All.

Re: Donuts on the Mitchell
Rivers and lake are dirty from all the rain. I would think the bream will be out in the lake somewhere.
There's nothing . . . absolutely nothing . . . half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats.
