help/spots
Hey all i have taken a break from fishing in winter and now that it is starting to get a little warmer i am getting back into it. ive never been good at freshwater fishing because i cant seem to find holes and where to cast. i was wondering if anyone has any tips on finding holes or even some spots to give a go. I am looking to go for redfin but i will settle for something else. i have a few spots for carp and eels thats about it. i went to warrandyte and could not find any fish or even decent place to throw a line. Thanks for reading and hopefully a response.

Sugarloaf for Reddies / Yellas mate. Get a 1/4 ounce spinnerbait, or 1/2 ounce if you're keen. I like purple or pink, cast it as close to the trees as you can, let it sink to the bottom and slow retrieve it out.

What are good times for going there because every time i have gone besides once we've caught nothing. the only time i caught was when there was probably only about 30 minutes of day light left and fish where everywhere they were jumping and taking the lure every cast i ended up getting about 12 in ten minutes. but every over time nothing.

Re: help/spots
I am not familiar with your area but I would suggest you have a look on Google maps/satellite which you likely have already done. In regards to rivers, you will find the deeper holes on the outside of bends. On the inside it will be shallower. Check out the bends on maps then see if there is any access there. Read this thread also, especially the post from Drew!

Move eventually but be patient. Don't move after 5 minutes!

Re: help/spots
Sugarloaf goes well early morning or just before dark, best is just after a bit of rain, the fish come looking for food that's washed down

Re: help/spots
When it comes to the Yarra you have to put in the miles. Get away from the easy to reach areas, everyone fishes those and there isn't much to be had. Go to the parks in templestowe and warrendyte and walk along the tracks that follow the river. Further you get away from the car park the better. Trail and error and you will eventually find the spots.
