Bream Fishing in the Heart of Melbourne CBD

The Yarra River is a great location for targeting Bream or Mulloway as well as the occasional Snapper or even Kingfish. Bill Classon takes us on a tour through the CBD.

Great video guys!
I fish the nearby Maribyrnong a lot from the bank and never have success like this.
Would love to experience this from a boat and learn to read the side scan.
Do Ben and Doug guide?

Hi guys, did you have any catches of estuary perch along that stretch of the river as I have seen a video of some guys catching good numbers of estuary perch from the bank at the Swan street bridge, a great fish to catch on light gear, Cheers.

Unfortunately where I live there's an air port near by so I can't fly my drone
Big schools of mulloway would concentrate in the really hot weather under a local jetty near by the mouth of a river
About 40 to80cm but one on top of the other
at a guess 80 to 100 fish if not more.
The following year the beach had some well formed gutters and a couple of nicely formed deep holes, it reminded me of when I was 14 years old and we would catch mulloway just of our local beach
It made me keen.
I had crabbers tell me there's fish out there just chilling ,paddle boarders as well were seeing them in big numbers.
That summer I fish hard and it paid off 30 fish over a 3 month period but not much for the first 2weeks but I worked it out in the end spending 2 to 3 hours and then home
one night got 4 105 to 109cm
On the average most fish were 78 to 92cm a year never to be forgotten my son would say the same .
But what really sticks in my mind
I went down one night at about 4am but the weed was to much as I was packing up to go I got a massive whiff of mulloway just like we used to get at the Murray mouth when they were thick they would rub up on each other the sweetest smell ever
There must of been hundreds
Seen them one afternoon while checking out the water as you do could see a massive school of mullet about 50m off shore getting herded by the big shadows
I watched the school get smaller and smaller for about two hours till there was no school to be seen any more .
I've seen them work with dolphins herding big schools of salmon on the south Coast of Adelaide
Its good to see that they have made a return in good numbers

The wright up was meant for the mulloway being filmed in Melbourne

Thanks for the great video Bill. This was very informative and I learnt a lot from it. Fishing the Yarra gives you a very different perspective on the city. Where did you launch the boat?

[@AFNFishingOutdoors]

Thanks Greame, glad you liked it! We launched at The Warmies Boat Ramp in Williamstown.

HELLO CAN YOU GIVE ME THE MODEL SIZE ETC FOR THE CENTRE CONSOLE THAT WAS USED-WHAT A GREAT STORY ABOUT THE QUALITY OF WATER TO HAVE BREAM STOCKS SO READILY AVAILABLE

[@AFNFishingOutdoors]

Thanks Craig. It was a Blue Wave 2200 Pure Bay

Is the Yarra healthy enough to eat the fish you catch out of it? I notice no keepers.

[@AFNFishingOutdoors]

I wouldn't recommend it :)

[@peterRobinson10101]

if you eat any frozen fish from asia then you may as well eat Yarra fish. cleaner that the gulf of Thailand.
