I hear on the grapevine that Rakali water rats like a feed of redfin ;) Great video mate. My favourite fishing also. Been getting hundreds of reddies this season. The buggers sure are on the chew this year. I think it is because the weather has been more in their comfort zone and it has not been the typical boiling hot summer we usually get.
Haha that footage you captured having a tug of war with the water rat was amazing mate, if anyone here hasn't seen it, go check out Andrew's video on his channel it's unreal. I agree about the weather being the likely cause for the redfin activity this year, but I'm certainly not complaining I'm having loads of fun chasing them hahaha
@@RKJFishing I am still in disbelief about that rat. If I didn't have video proof, no-one would believe me lol. I have had a strange season. PB Water Rat, PB Lost Rod caught... the last few weeks have been very weird 😂🤣
Thanks Raul, I already want to go back and catch some more! I'd wish you a speedy trip to summer but then that would mean we get winter here fast and I don't want that lol
great to see you using some affordable tackle so pick up a feed! there were obviously plenty out there, and your chuckle when you hook one is definitely a highlight of the video!
Thanks so much Andrew! I love finding bargain lures to throw at the fish haha, it keeps it affordable for any kids who are watching as well. Cheers mate
G'day I've watched through quite a few of your videos and I really liked them and unlike some youtubers keeping their spots a secret you share your spots in most of the episodes and I really admire this so thank you for sharing cheers
Good session and some nice sized redfin. Great tasting fish. You know how many times I’m fishing in the middle of absolute nowhere, and somebody comes along. And Canada isn’t that small either.👍🏻🇨🇦
Thanks mate! Yeah the law says they aren't allowed to be transported while alive, they are trying to prevent them from spreading to other waterways where they don't already exist
Thanks heaps Shamus! I usually keep it fairly simple, just fillet them, a light coating of flour, and then fry with a tiny touch of olive oil. This time I egged and crumbed the fillets for something different, but still shallow fried in olive oil
Thanks mate, the kids and I enjoyed our little feast hehe. That little redfin charged the spinner so hard aye? I laughed about that for the rest of the day I reckon lol
Awesome video Rohan, that water was as smooth as glass when you started and you’re not wrong when you said it was quiet! Nice catch of Redfin especially when you’ve done it on a budget. 👍 You’ll have a Kmart sponsorship before you know it if you keep plugging them!!🤣🤣 Keep up the great work with these absolutely entertaining videos. 🎣🐟
Hi again rkj, do u know what the best lure/soft plastic is for Redfin because I have a few lakes with Redfin in them and I only catch like 1 fish each time I go there on a motor oil grub soft plastic?
Hi again mate, I've seen you a few times tonight haha! Everyone likes different types of plastics, but I reckon the paddle grubs from Jigglefishing are unreal - I recommend the phantom, green speck, or pink bitz colours. You can buy them on their website, here's the link jigglefishing.com.au/collections/soft-plastics/products/2-5-paddle-grub?aff=9
Thanks mate, I'm actually very happy with the way it worked while wading, although I wouldn't mind putting some kind of hoop in the bottom of it so it stayed more open for the fish, they kept getting stuck in the mesh, I reckon thats why 1 of them went belly up
Thanks sorry I just noticed I commented as my 10 year old son instead of his mum. Btw you and Ribbie are his idols he has just started a TH-cam channel to be just like you lol
Story time with Noah: I took one of my friends out fishing but he had no idea what he was doing so I undid his drag the to point of nothing and told him to cast over towards the bank (grass under the water) and he did and got caught on the grass. He started cranking it and is yelling to me 'i got one, I got one, Noah I got one I'm here laughing my ass off and he's telling me to get it🤣
I try not to name exact spots, that way only people who already know it will recognize it so there's no major harm done most of the time, although with landmark places like weirs it's hard to hide haha
I had a couple of 28's in there (measured at home) but you're right it's definitely off a touch. It's been too long since I caught redfin that weren't sardines, I was out of practice LOL

You find a good school of them!! Man miss summer just watching at this
Thanks Raul, I already want to go back and catch some more! I'd wish you a speedy trip to summer but then that would mean we get winter here fast and I don't want that lol
Great day out there mate. Those redfins will taste great. Nice size to them as well. That spinner was working good for you.
Thanks Adrian, they cooked up a treat
Fantastic. Brilliant. What a ripper feed of reddies. Well done mate.
Thanks heaps Robbie

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos 🙂
Awesome! Great day and great to watch!
Thanks so much Jack
I love videos where people are catching a meal. We eat more fish at my house than an otter.
Thanks mate me too hehe. I eat a lot more perch than other species though, because they are so abundant and delicious lol
@@RKJFishing I eat perch like the lake is gonna run out! But our bluegills are smaller than yalls redfin.
That was awesome watching catch all them redfin
Thanks so much Jerry, I'm glad you enjoyed it mate!
Great video Rohan 👍👍👍👍👍👍 and a nice feed by the looks
Thank you so much 😀 they were delicious, I already want to go catch some more hahaha

Thanks heaps mate I appreciate it
Another great show you really enjoyed yourself good to see
Thanks so much Alan, I certainly did haha. I love that type of fishing!
Good session and some nice sized redfin. Great tasting fish. You know how many times I’m fishing in the middle of absolute nowhere, and somebody comes along. And Canada isn’t that small either.👍🏻🇨🇦
Thanks so much Alan, they sure are! Haha that's happened to me a few times on really remote parts of the river as well, it's a strange feeling
The redfin king has risen. Well done mate sure would of been a great feed.
Haha thanks so much Jaron, they were delicious!
Great catch mate for the day and a beautiful day..
Thanks mate, it sure was nice out there. Near perfect conditions, fun fishing and a feed. I can't complain one bit lol
Great vid Rohan good day out and a bonus you got a nice feed of Reddiez keep it up mate 🐟
Thanks heaps Adrian! Any day I can get a feed of reddies is a good day if you ask me hahaha
@@RKJFishing yeah definitely mate there been firing up in the channels out around the basin so have the Yella's
@@adrianhamilton4724 I might try one of the channels next time, I was considering it on this day but chose the lake instead haha
Awesome mate & also i didn't know that you can't keep them alive , thanks for the heads up legend
Thanks mate! Yeah the law says they aren't allowed to be transported while alive, they are trying to prevent them from spreading to other waterways where they don't already exist
Ripper video Rohan. They were fired up it seems! Keep it up 👍🏻
Thanks Adrian! I love when they are active like that haha. Cheers mate
Awesome Session. Nice Work RKJ.
Thanks heaps mate
Awesome video mate well done
Thanks so much Clinten
I gut hooked a couple fish in my day!😂 That looks like a ton of fun Rohan. Nice job bro!👍
Haha they feel so much bigger when you foul hook them aye? Thanks heaps mate
Brilliant video mate it's always good seeing the redfin make a appearance and a nice feed too I would love to see what you do with them recipe wise
Thanks heaps Shamus! I usually keep it fairly simple, just fillet them, a light coating of flour, and then fry with a tiny touch of olive oil. This time I egged and crumbed the fillets for something different, but still shallow fried in olive oil
Top stuff the redfin are bigger on one of the Basin haha. I bet you will be going there again
Haha yeah it certainly seems that way Chris! I'll definitely be going back there lol
Great video mate, great to see you can catch a feed land based. A chance for every angler of any age.
Thanks Marc! Absolutely, I'm glad there are some decent ones near the edges, hopefully all the kids can get onto a few as well
Nice Reddies Rohan might have to drive over there one day ,never fished there
Thanks Patrick! Yeah you definitely should, I love it over there
That was a good session. Well done
Thanks so much Trevor!
nice video redfin are the only freshwater fish i eat yummy
Thanks John! My favorite is definitely redfin but I do love some yellowbelly or trout from time to time hehe
Nice feed, jeez it was funny when that tiny reddie came out of no where and hit the spinner while it was dead still
Thanks mate, the kids and I enjoyed our little feast hehe. That little redfin charged the spinner so hard aye? I laughed about that for the rest of the day I reckon lol
great video brother nice action
Thanks 👍
Good old Basin mate, it's always good for a redfin Rohan..
kids eat tonight 😁👍
Haha it sure is Jim! It was nice to find some slightly bigger ones for a change
Awesome video Rohan, that water was as smooth as glass when you started and you’re not wrong when you said it was quiet! Nice catch of Redfin especially when you’ve done it on a budget. 👍 You’ll have a Kmart sponsorship before you know it if you keep plugging them!!🤣🤣 Keep up the great work with these absolutely entertaining videos. 🎣🐟
Thanks heaps Adam. Haha Kmart sponsorship that's funny lol. Cheers mate
Love the content Rohan, really want to catch a cod, but I sure do love a feed of yella and redfin
Thanks heaps Toby. Yeah yellas and reddies are the best eating fish in my opinion
@@RKJFishing my fav is reddies, but I sure do love yellas, I’m going out tonight and hopefully get some
Nice haul man!
Thanks mate!
Love ur videos rkj ❤️
Thanks heaps mate!
Hi Rohan, been awhile since I've been here..Nice catches!
Thanks so much Sandra, it's good to see you!
@@RKJFishing thanks! Glad your still enjoying fishing. Always great to watch your videos :)

THANK YOU I picked the phantom colour, and sorry for being annoying tonight as well. ❤️
@@harrysutherland1395 Comments on my videos are never annoying mate! I'm glad I could help, let me know how you go with the phantom paddle grubs
Good idea that keeper net 😎
Thanks mate, I'm actually very happy with the way it worked while wading, although I wouldn't mind putting some kind of hoop in the bottom of it so it stayed more open for the fish, they kept getting stuck in the mesh, I reckon thats why 1 of them went belly up
@@RKJFishing try making some hoops out of black poly pipe and cable tie them inside. They might float a bit too.
@@T.J-and-Soul Cheers mate I might try that
Do you struggle with the mud at waranga at all? I went out last week and the mud was over my knees, but maybe it was just the spot I was at.
Some spots can be quite muddy, but other spots can be OK. There's grassy and rocky areas around Harriman's point that aren't too bad for mud
@@RKJFishing awesome thanks, ill try there next time im out that way.
what size do they grow to in that basin
The shorelines are littered with small ones Mick, but there are some whoppers out in the middle near the deep drop offs if you're in a boat!
The redfin bite was hot!
They were hungry that day haha
Which side are you please I’ve never been there before but heading there on Monday
Hi mate there's redfin all over that lake, but they are harder to catch in winter
Thanks sorry I just noticed I commented as my 10 year old son instead of his mum. Btw you and Ribbie are his idols he has just started a TH-cam channel to be just like you lol
Robbie
That's awesome! I went and watched his video and subscribed
@@RKJFishing he’s so excited thanks so much
good vid great fish
Thanks mate
What day did you go there
G'day Josh! I was there on Wednesday mate
Ok cause I was there on Sunday and we got 8 reddies
That looked like so much fun mate! Makes me want to get out there and catch a feed of perch myself. How did you cook em up?
Thanks mate, it sure was fun and they were delicious! I did them simply, just filleted, crumbed, and then shallow fried. YUM
Where were u fishing bro..
where the water is
That's Waranga Basin, a large lake near Rushworth in Victoria
Plenty of action and a good feed at the end - what else could you want?
Absolutely right Frank, I was a happy man hehe
Hello can you please give me some tips to cook carp
I have no idea mate sorry, I've never cooked a carp before!
Haha I have the same keeper net, I once had about 12 Redfin in that net
Haha awesome!!
Can u show us how to rig a damiki Air frog
I actually don't own any Damiki Air Frogs haha. I've seen robbiefishing show how to rig them on his channel in past videos
@@RKJFishing ok all good mate thanks
Do a catch and cook mate please
I might do one some day but I'm not very good at filming myself while cooking and filleting and stuff haha. Maybe in the future
Always good karma to release your first fish. IMO 👍👍🍻🍻
I like your theory mate, I might try to stick to that! Cheers
Good👍👍
Thanks
I cort a 48 cm cod on that same luer
That's awesome, great work!
👍👍👍

hahahaha that sounds really funny! That would make a good video LOL
you turn up there next week and there will be 300 people fishing your spot
I try not to name exact spots, that way only people who already know it will recognize it so there's no major harm done most of the time, although with landmark places like weirs it's hard to hide haha
I think you eye-omiter is out a tad Rowan. 26cm max I thought. 😉
I had a couple of 28's in there (measured at home) but you're right it's definitely off a touch. It's been too long since I caught redfin that weren't sardines, I was out of practice LOL
JUST some bs advice...I use an onion bag...😁😁🤣🤣🤣🍆🇦🇺
Haha that's awesome! I've seen people use a shrimp net before but never an onion bag lol
Also...They are Feral ..😡😡
Haha I reckon they are delicious mate
