Fishing can be very frustrating indeed, I mainly chase the odd flatty and
scare the life out of trout and yes it is to bloody cold in sunny victoria
at the moment - lookout summer as I have just purchased a Jeep Wrangler so I
will be able to explore more.

Yeah it may be cold but the fishing is good on Lake Eildon...The trout
though a bit small are almost jumping into the boat and the redfin are
getting very hungry

Damn cold! Today's been a shocker!

Tell me.. as a trout fisho, is there a season on trout in Victoria?
I've always been worried that I'd fish out of season on the Wonnangatta
River, near Dargo, Vic...

at the moment - lookout summer as I have just purchased a Jeep Wrangler so I
will be able to explore more.


Good luck to ya.. I've just got a BF XR6 Falcon tray ute.. I can see
a few trips to Apollo Bay, and Narooma NSW, looming...

Regards

Lindsay

Best bait seems to be Tassie devil lures and soft plastics but scrub worms
pic up the odd fish as well.
As for the season the rivers are closed to fishing from queens birthday
weekend until 1st of November (I think...check with the book next time you
renew your licence) but there is no closed season in Lake Eildon though
there is in some of the other Victorian lakes

Thanks for that! I'm not a big freshwater fisho, I prefer dragging a
lure
around Montague Island, NSW, but I live in Melbourne, and my mate owns
land with river frontage on the Wonnangatta... I prefer squeezing a
trigger than casting a worm, but I've always been worried I'm not doing
the right thing in the river, so thats cleared that up....

many thanks..

Sorry for the lateness of this post and all but was looking around for diff
news groups and had to ask why anyone would find fishing hard? If your
using the right size hook, tides right, suns right, baits right for the fish
your targeting then I really don't see how anyone who clams to be a
fisherman could say it's hard and frustrating, I'm not frustrated ever when
fishing and hard well if you call going fishing and coming home with fish
hard well maybe a different sport would be worth a go, have never and will
never go home without fish when "fishing". If you really do have problems
catching fish then you might want to get the first mentioned right then you
might find a whole new world of fishing the world your meant to be in to
fish.
