Nice Rossco, you always manage a feed. Lake Wallace up here had an outbreak of the virus over the Christmas period and the lake had a lot of dead redfin floating about. DPI confirmed it, so it'll be interesting to see how they fare. Might give the trout and bass a legup. Nice to see the crowds not too severe for Jan down there and the weather relatively kind to you. Hope you're well and life is good. Keep 'em coming mate. Cheers PP
Cheers mate. Jamie and I were musing last week about the virus, we are finding it hard to get onto the big schools of previous summers, and wonder if the last virus outbreak here played a big hand in reducing numbers. So far this summer we haven't caught any with the pox on them, so that's a positive. I hope your lake recovers soon.
Nice work Rossco, iv heard of other people using cooked prawns in the past (usually right after Christmas) and its working for you, next you will be catching cod on dim sims. great video mate
Haha 😂 That video of yours using dim Sims cracked me up. Sometimes it's worth thinking outside the square when it comes to bait. I bet that the first blokes who tried cheese and chicken for cod never dreamed it would be so effective and popular. Thanks for watching, mate.
Nice. There are some good reddies getting around at the moment.Fat and fit. I am getting some nice fish in Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra. Prawn has been a favourite on mine for many years. Instead of frozen and cooked, though, we would catch a bunch down at the South Coast and salt a heap for baits. They toughen up enough to withstand the pickers well and lasts well, keep in a cool, dark, place well sealed and it is always available. You can use the salt in a burley mix when you finish off the prawns. It smells pretty fishy by then :D
Either will work on the day, depends on where the trout are sitting. Usually around reed beds and logs are good places to start, where shrimp hang out in the lakes. I usually have one on a float/ umweighted and one on a bottom setup of a simple running sinker, choose your poison, and a smallish circle hook on about an 18 inch leader to a ring or swivel and sinker above. On some of the mud flats where they hunt yabbies, this is deadly. I also use a small (000/00) bomb sinker fed onto the mainline above a ring as my running sinker on some of the sandier and muddier areas as the sinker hanging under the line digs in nicely to stop too much moving around, the large eyelet on top allows free running of the mainline, so no weight is felt and the way it sits lifts the line above the mud (bream and whiting rig on sand flats also). If windy (which it often is,) both on bottom tends to prevent too much movement. Essentially, fish them where and how you might fish a shrimp or yabbie. Particularly good at night. @@FishtalkVideo
Great work Ross good to see it's still possible to get a feed of Redfin in the Hume this season.The multiple camera sync looks pro AF! What program do you use to do that?
Thanks Sandy, the reddies are hard to pin down, aren't they? Mate, I use Movavi editing suite, 2021 version. It has an audio synchronisation function, simply piggy back the two clips and press the button. Must be idiot proof if I can use it!🙂
@FishtalkVideo Awesome Ross! that sounds like a common editing program that I have heard of that doesn't cost the earth, I think I need to move on from Windows Movie Maker, the music and narration audio was moving around on their own in my last couple of videos, i had to keep fixing it.This Adobe Premier Pro seems to be be the buzz when you look up syncing multiple cameras but you have to pay about $30 a month, this Movavi sounds like a cheaper option.Last time I went out for Redfin in Hume a week ago I found the big heavy sinker with the 2 plastics above it like I have seen in one of your videos dragged along the botom in about 35 feet of water at a very slow troll of around 1.7km/h picked up the odd one didn't get as many as you but got 1 good one 39cm, I tried stopping where I caught them trolling and casting but didn't seem to be any major schools just the odd fish here and there.
Movavi 2024 video suite and photo editor $124 a year, BUT for $158 you can purchase a lifetime licence at the moment. I'm pretty sure your mate Robbie uses the same program, because he put me on to it. Might be worth asking him about it. We just don't have the big schools of redfin ATM, maybe the manky virus from last summer has thinned them out.
@FishtalkVideo Great stuff Ross thanks heaps for that info I really appreciate it, it must be reasonably easy to use if you say your not the most tech Savy,I tried some free versions of editing programs at one stage and I couldn't make heads or tails of them probably because they were free and weren't funtional anything you have to pay for is going to work a lot better, that is a reasonable cost, you would have to go the lifetime one for sure, I have always wanted to be able to do that 2 camera sync and you have shown it can be done with that program, I will look up some youtube videos on that program to see what it looks like.
They call it fishing not catching for a reason :D Those days can be frustrating for sure.More frustrating though is getting a bite and missing it/dropping it in the first few minutes, then nothing for the whole day lol. Hope you do better next time.
Slaying the Redfin mate, good to see someone getting into them!
Hey Rocco, you only see the captures. The hours of nothing are on the cutting room floor!😄 Thanks for watching, mate.
Great channel and its good to see you get some nice reddies up the Tallangatta Arm
Thanks mate. It's been a bit of a struggle for reddies this summer in the narrows, but the next video will feature a pleasant bi-catch!

Cooked prawn is so similar to a freshwater shrimp you left in the container in summer when you were a kid, cooked alright!
😂 The brown yabbie that turned red and stopped moving on a 45 degree day when you kept the ice cream container on your windowsill in the sun...
Hahaha. I reckon we have all found an ancient yabby or shrimp in the bottom of the boat!
Well you can still find them. Well done!
Thanks, but they are a bit of a struggle at the moment.
Excellent ross nice session
Thanks Michale. Can't wait to see some of your painted divers on the reddies!
Have been trying ross couple hits on them and 1 , cod at bundalong a few weeks ago thatz it so far matr
I'm confident that they will work a treat, buddy.
Absolutely ross
Great reddies, my fav to eat freshwater fish.
I agree with you 100%. Great tasting freshwater fish.

That's a great idea, Andrew. Worth a try for sure! Some days the redfin jump all over prawns. Thanks for watching, mate.
Some days I have bagged out on rainbows on Eucembene and Jindy on them too. @@FishtalkVideo
Wow! Do you fish them on the bottom or under a bubble float for trout?

I usually have one on a float/ umweighted and one on a bottom setup of a simple running sinker, choose your poison, and a smallish circle hook on about an 18 inch leader to a ring or swivel and sinker above.

Went out on the boat on Saturday morning with my dad and my son and disnt even get a single bite
It can be like that. If I hadn't found this patch it would have been hard to put a video together 😕
