Thanks so much for the kind words. I always try to do my best.

You must go on a run in tide and try casting in different spots. Trust me, I have gone many sessions and caught nothing. Just persist and it will pay off.

@ thanks mate ill keep chasing my first fish in the maribyrnong!

@skibshot Good mate

Yes 100%, just go either early mornings or late afternoons when the boat traffic eases down. That was why we headed to deeper water near sorrento cause it was super difficult. I reckon during winter it will be a good fishing spot, especially for big squid. Good luck mate!

@@FishingDownUnder1 thanks mate, I may give it ago this weekend with some soft plastics and bait. I'm also gonna give some of the smaller beaches like settlement or tideways a shot for flatties

Well I hope you get some, I wouldn’t be surprised if you pick up some short fin pike/snook in those weedy areas chucking out some pilchards and even plastics. Fingers crossed that your trip goes well 🤞

Couldn’t have a better crew member than him. Does my head in sometimes 😂 but he’s learning. Thanks champ!

Haha, he thought someone might bring up his skill level. Thanks mate!

Thanks so much mate

Running sinker from memory. I was using blue bait and pilchards. Hopefully you catch some!

Pilchards and squid

Bay trout are just juvenile salmon, completely different from tommy rough. Tommy rough only grow to about 6-8 inches whereas the bay trout turn in salmon. So yes, tommy rough have no legal size but the bay trout have a minimum legal size.

i’m fishing they’re today any tips.

use a running sinker but just tie the hook to the main line and the sinker above it (ball sinker). Pilchards and blue bait are your best bet and try dropping it under the pier cause the trevally swim around there.

Personally, I wouldn’t eat the bream or estuary perch from there. However, if you managed to catch pinkies that were really colourful and healthy, I don’t see why you couldn’t keep a few of those if you wanted to. Hope that helps.

Cheers mate 👍

Thanks mate the support is greatly appreciated!

Cheers mate! I buy my bass yabbies from douglas parade bait and tackle, hope you can get some quality bream and estuary perch.

@ thank you been struggling to find a bait and tackle that sells them

nah all good mate

Yeah that sucks. When the Ovens is flowing that hard it be difficult to fish anywhere. I was fishing down stream from the Bright Riverside Holiday Park (fishing the same side). If you follow the trail, you’ll come across some of the spots seen in my video. I hope that helps and fingers crossed you can catch a few decent trout.

@ yeah thanks I’ve managed to get 1 in the fast flowing water, the people on the tubes are making it hard also

Yeah, don’t worry it took me two days to get my first one. Your probably doing better than me 🤣

@@FishingDownUnder1 small crabs only the greenish coloured ones you find in the area the only bites you get are from big Bream

@RogerM-bh6cx thanks man really appreciated.

Thanks so much mate for the kind comment, it’s much appreciated!

Just using pilchards rigged in a size 6 bait holder hook. Wouldn’t be too ordatious to use a size 4 though. Thanks mate.

Crikies, unlucky. I want to go and try that spot during the night and see how I go.

@FishingDownUnder1 it was evening tide was on its way out I had a few small bites then seen my rod mid air then skiing on the surface for about 100mtrs bait was live crab

That’s gotta be annoying, who knows, it could have been a monster bream, 🤣

@FishingDownUnder1 nah iv caught some biggens 44cm my biggest this had to much power

True, I was only joking by the way about the bream. Sometimes big snapper go through there.

Thanks man that’s means a lot

Thanks. A few times yes, but every time I see to go, I always cop a bad wind which is isn’t forecasted and my trip is pointless. Nevertheless, I have found bait works the best, they aren’t as aggressive with the plastics.

@ thanks bro

It is def not the only bait you could use you could throw a bee 🐝 and probably catch something if you have squid blue bait shrimp anything would work

@ you reckon plastics would work

@@durqq Yea they would

@@durqq might get snags tho I don't know what the bottom is like

yabbies are the best i find, after a heavy storm, worms work well. I have tried soft plastics and lure and the bream seem to be spooked by them. I actually went yesterday to make a video and I caught nothing. Only the smaller bream chase the plastics.

Thankyou so much mate, glad you enjoy the videos!

You should try fishing Williamstown if it's not to far I wanna know what you think about it, the fishing may or may not be good you never know 👍

@ I have never actually tried properly around there, but, I plan to heavily fish it within the coming years as it’s easy accessible for me on my bike.

Thanks mate!

What bait you using bro

Just using Bass Yabbies

@@FishingDownUnder1 my man....love your content... keep it up....been around Parramatta river bro? Or Meadowbank wharf

nah never where abouts is that, NSW?

Same here until a year ago because I caught one and read up on it. The VFA stocked many of them into the system and they seem to be doing really well. Yabbies are from Douglas Parade Bait and Tackle. Good luck mate

Thanks mate, glad you liked it!

Cheers man, glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks mate. Yeah, you can purchase a head lamp. A decent one will set you back $80, cheap one for $15.

I buy my yabbies, but in future if I want to go regularly I reckon I’m going to have to pump them myself as they are super expensive. I buy them from Douglas Parade Bait and Tackle.

Thanks so much for the kind words

They’re meant to be symbolic, sort of like my image. You see someone wearing the polarised sunnies, it’s most likely me (I wear them in all my videos).

yes, despite what many people say, they actually do make a beautiful table fish.

100%, can’t go wrong with King George and Flathead as meal. Easy to clean too.

Gars, in Victoria, do not have a minimum legal size. Those gars at that average size mate a beautiful table fish.

@FishingDownUnder1 bloody hell in sa it's 23 cm think I need to move😂

@DarkHorizon03 haha, yeah I reckon we are a bit less strict in Vic. Has its pros and cons. Obviously good to catch more fish but it also impacts our wildlife.

Yes, I get the odd toadfish a lot. They are a soft plastic that can be really efficient or terrible.

Definitely the upper areas that contain your fresh and saltwater (brackish) = areas such as Flemington (where I was fishing) and Footscray. Even so near high point you can land some monster bream. Good luck

Thanks heaps bro! Tight lines

Thanks for the support!

Daveeeeee🎉🎉🎉

Nathan, thanks so much for the kind words. I’m very happy to hear your enjoying the vids man.

Thanks man. Yeah after I came back to the cabin and look over the footage and saw the pattern + tail. I knew it was one. He was decent too, hoping to go back and target them.

Yeah, really weird I had so many follow ups on my lure, some of the trout were really big as well. I think the water still might be a little to cold but as the weather warms, I reckon trout will start to gain more confidence leading to my hookups. Anyway good fishing mate, hope you get some.

I made a special trip 2 months ago, booked a motel in Mt. Beauty so I could fish for trout in the Kiewa river. Even made a day trip to Bright to fish the Ovens river. 3 days of getting up early to try my luck and I got nothing, not a follow up, a strike hell I didn't even see a trout. I was using mepps spinners and trout rapala lures tied off with 6 pound leader on a 7foot light rod. That's the ultimate combo for trout fishing and I came away with nothing. Even trout opening season I fished the Wellington and Macalister river and caught nothing. Where are the trout?

@stavio12 yeah it has been a tough season compared to the last. I mean like we had a lot of follow ups but i find the trout have been less aggressive this season. i haven’t caught anything over 40cm in which is usually a normality when heading to these rivers. Honestly, try your luck in rivers such as the goulburn and fish in the deep holes there, don’t give up (key step, took me all day to get that trout).

@@FishingDownUnder1 Thanks for the reply mate. Will definitely keep trying, especially the Goulburn. Cheers.

Yes there is but you have to fish the river when it’s clear, so no rain within the the last weeks otherwise the break won’t bite.

@@FishingDownUnder1 cheers, for such valuable tip!

@guangdazhu7387 all good matey, hope you can catch some bream!

@@FishingDownUnder1 I will give a try in the next few weeks

@guangdazhu7387 good on you mate

Exactly mate! Can’t beat it especially on lure.
