The small lakes have no trout, but have carp and redfin. The large lake is the one DPI stocks with trout.

Forgot to mention the large one also has roach, redfin and carp as well.....

Hallam/Dandenong creek is 'chockers' full of carp, golden carp (even houshold looking goldfish too!), eels and turtles. Mainly from the bridge in NarreWarren to the bridge in Hallam, there is a walking path that runs along the creek from bridge to bridge ( a few km in lenght ).
From Hallam bridge onwards towards Dandenong, anywhere past the bridge on south gippy hwy the fish become more scarce.
'Sweet corn' kernels allways being a top bait for the carp around this area.

Thanks every one will hopefully post some pics tonight

Good luck mate let us know how you go

top carp spot I believe is 500 meters away from me at the moment. Everyone is welcome to clean up the creek. Melway 61 C4

Do you mean gardiners creek reserve???

yes. The creek is open for business.

Park beside the bowling club, walk to the creek and fish anywhere. I prefer fishing the area where the swamp grass grows. There is a wider area which narrows a bit as the creek heads toward Burwood highway. I cross the creek and fish from the other side (facing the bowling club). Top carp breeding ground. See the pictures I posted here - viewtopic.php?f=16&t=334&start=80" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

That's crazy how long we're you there for and what bait/setup were you using
cheers for the info cam
