Last time I was in a canoe was when my wife and I rented one at the boatshed at Fairfield After paddling for a while we pulled up at the dock and the missus asks "How do we get out ?" I say "I'll hang onto the dock from my end, and you being in the front get out first and then you hold the canoe for me" All good except that as I stood up and leant over to grab the dock, the canoe swung back out because she was holding the front. So within seconds there were a couple of dozen people enjoying their lunch 😅 laughing hysterically at the sight of me stretched out face down over the water with strained fingers on the dock and toes hooked inside the canoe.😅
Thank you so much for your kind words Jeff. I'm certainly not the best mate, and more than happy not to be. My goal is to be the happiest and I must be getting close by now. 🤣🤣
Thx impressive Robbie One of the few great uses for redfin and carp. Feed them to the bird life.....Pellicans are goodforfish disposal too.....THX for the great vids..
How beautiful is that a beautiful eagle feeding right beside you that's a life time opportunity. My favourite place to fish I can't wait till winter to fish there again. That lure is a Kmart one haha
@@robbiefishing I'm learning so much from your redfin kayak and lake videos with soft plastics. Certainly is my favourite type of fishing. Thanks again. Look forward to many more!
What a great video Robbie! I really enjoyed that. The footage of the Eagles was awesome. The whole serenity of the place; the utter peace was so well captured. What would a trip to William Hovell be without a storm or rain, seems like that happens almost everytime you go there. LOL.
Hello rob mate Everything about this video was top notch mate , from the fishing to the eagles the venue to the vessel...mate the sheer energy in that storm awesome... Rob really love the idea of loading up with some camping gear and heading out .. what a buzz maybe a future adventure to film 🤔.. Rob thanks and hope everyone is in excellent form.. 😎🏴🎣
Thanks so much Michael. It sure was a wonderful afternoon. It absolutely Bucketed down rain on the way home.. All well here thanks mate. I hope all is well with you too.
Thank you so much Phil. I fished the Arboretum Dam a couple of days ago. Right where I met you. I caught a heap of Silver's and 3 carp. I didn't know carp were in there. That was disappointing.
@@robbiefishing Cool. I am thinking of going again some time. Pity about the carp. I said to Sue the first time, I didn't think I would see you, because you have lots of places to fish. Then I heard your voice I am planning to go to the carp muster too. Frogs are my second favourite animal.
@@PhillipWhite-uz3wu That's fantastic Phil. It would be great to see you there. I believe they are planning on introducing growling grass frogs to the Winton Wetlands. .
@@robbiefishing I heard that. That would be great if it will work. I need to get another two people so we can afford to go with shared costs. I hope I can do it. Cheers.
The red and white diver looked like a jarvis walker one. The water looks even clearer than when I was last there, that's unreal. Well done all round mate. Love your new canoe btw
Thanks mate. I'm looking forward to a lot of adventures in it. The water is so good up there. The stuff under the canoe, not so much the stuff falling from the sky.
I haven't looked back since getting my canoe mate. Love it more than my sit on top kayak and it's great for longer overnight trips. I can even stand up in it.
💛...i learned in boy scout summer camp about how to paddle a canoe with just one paddle/oar...it's been quite a long time ago but i think it was called a j stroke...it was used to paddle from only one side and no switching back and forth...
Love the new toy mate. I've been pricked by a English perch before.. I found it just gave me a redfin-ger.. Pity your didn't get a tequila sunrise after feeding those Eagles.
Ah, Robbie, a suggestion about eating red fin: I used to catch them in both the east and west Kiewa gorges. Dear old mum loved to lightly poach them to take the meat from the skin and bones and turn the meat in to patties mixed with cooked spuds. Try it, she reckoned it was better than commercial salmon. Fabulous photographs of the sea eagles, birdies would love to have a copy. Could you send a copy to Bird Australia?
Love ya videos robby. It's nice to know I've been fishing wrong the whole time haha. I just assumed casting out as far as possible was best. So thanks for some teachings and some amazing content as you do it.
Love the canoe, how was the leg room compared to your kayak? Only ask because yak's just aren't really made for guys my size and that actually looked comfy. Beautiful day, a few fish, and love the wildlife footage again. Great job!
Thanks Larry. Leg room is infinite. My legs would need to be 3 feet longer because it was a problem. LOL I need to work out a way to put something in there to rest my head against.
@13:40 Wicked with a capital W. @ 15:59, even better nate, well done Bro! Here's a tip, tie a 3m small diameter rope the the front handle and use a big tent peg to tie off. Saves dragging you dugout canoe onto the sand and wearing out the hull.
Almost the same fishing conditions down here in SE Gippy, plenty of small redfin and bass. Hopefully everyone does the same and throws em back to get bigger! Wicked storm too! 😁 I'd be calling it just the same! Geeez.... 😨
Well Robbie l used to have a Canadian canoe similar to yours it was a 3 seater. It was made in Victoria and was used on the Yarra at Fairfield studley park it used to be a hire canoe. It was great used it for about 10 years.
Hey Robbie! How does the stability of the kayak and canoe compare? There seemed to be less side to side rocking in the canoe. Maybe the centre of gravity is better with something you sit in rather than something you sit on.
Hi Steve, they're very similar. I think the in camera image stabilisation made it look smoother than it actually was. Haha They're very similar. The kayak feels a lot more stable until you hit something. The canoe seems to rock left and right a lot more but I didn't feel like I was going to tip at any stage.
Hi Robbie great vid. I can say from experience that hypothermia while kayaking is not a pleasant experience. P.S. I’ll happily act a ballast for you! 😂
What a relaxing way to spend a day! I spent my day doing the same yesterday in a local SA reservoir. Is there a reason you throw some of the reddies back even though they aren’t native? Here in SA we have to treat them the same way as we do carp, lucky they are bloody good eating! Would love to see/hear your thoughts on using the deeper in the canoe, I’m planning on getting a sounder for my kayak in the future and really curious on the comparison between a deeper and a cheap sounder. Thanks Robbie!
Thanks Tyla. I wouldn't care what state I was in, ain't nobody ever going to force me to kill a redfin, it anything that I don't want to kill. I can kill carp no worries, they don't offer much, but redfin are beautiful eating and the bigger ones are proper trophies. AND.... I know that killing them makes absolutely no difference. The only issue with the Deeper will be that I have to attach a flexible arm, which will be easy to attach. Just a bit more fiddly having extra stuff to pack. With regular fish finders I think you can actually mount the transducer to the bottom of the kayak and it will shoot through the plastic, as long as it is mounted in water. Some people make a water tight compartment, mount the sounder and put the lid on it you know what I mean. With a Deeper there's so need for any of that handyman stuff (which I am terrible at). Haha
@@robbiefishing I absolutely agree! But you won’t find me chucking one back in the reservoirs here after rec fishing sa did so much work to get them open to us, but if I find them in the wild I’ll be keeping your thoughts in mind for sure. I only found out about the deeper after searching through your videos (thanks for always keeping them fun, full of dad jokes and always extremely informative!) and I think that will be the option I go with for versatility over having to fit a battery and all of the wiring that goes with it. I’ll keep an eye out for when you decide to give it a try!
Hi Robbie, Did you dispatch the first keeper redfin by putting your fingers in the gills and pulling the head back, as you would a trout? Not that familiar with the reddies. Thanks.
Mate, that bird was getting to be quite brazen; I wouldn’t be surprised if it lands on the front of your canoe in future years. It certainly knows you’re going to feed it. Red canoe + beard = free food. Lol
Was there last Sundy weather was amazing and the sea eagled followed me boat the whole around the lake we got a heap of reddys and a nice trout I threw about 5 reddys to the eagle he came within 15 feet of the boat was bloody cool too watch aye 👍
That lure you found looked like a small Rapala, did you find out what it is? The Rapalas are not cheap. Have you been tempted to get something like a Hobie mirage pro fisher? No paddles and you would be very comfortable, you can even stand up in it. They are quite expensive, but would suit a man of your means.🤔
Thanks mate. No I never did find out what it is. I have had fleeting thoughts of getting a Hobie, but don't want to give up my paddles. They are certainly a great boat, but are also much heavier and harder to carry around. Also, for fitness reasons, having paddles forces me to use my arms for exercise. As I no longer work in physical environments I need to get arm exercises anywhere I can.
@@robbiefishing I know what you are saying but you do work your arms quite a bit while fishing, but in a Hobie mirage drive you work your legs constantly.
Put a couple of rod holders on your esky for trolling. One on the front and one on the back at 45 degrees then you can troll on either side of the canoe and you can select which side of the canoe to fish from simply by turning the esky around 180 degrees
Wait for the thunder - come on Robbie where was the missing ACDC reference there? Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder Thunder, thunder I was caught In the middle of a lake (thunder) looked 'round And I knew there was no turning back (thunder) My mind raced And I thought, what could I do? (Thunder) And I knew There was no help, no help from you (thunder) Sound of the drums Beating in my heart The thunder of guns Tore me apart You've been Thunderstruck
Hi Robbie, love your videos. Just wondering why you kill the fish through suffocation in the eskie? I’ve read that brain spikes are more humane and that suffocation reduces the taste of the fish. Just wondering whether you have an opinion on how to kill fish. Keep at it legend.
Thanks so much Asher. I actually kill them as quickly and humanely as possible before I put them in the eski, but I try to keep it off camera as TH-cam gets a bit funny about that kind of stuff. I usually stick my fingers under their gills and bend their neck back until it snaps. Takes about 1 second and their dead. If you look at the one that I took out of the eski for the Sea Eagle it has a broken neck. 👍👍
HeynRobbie Im So Sorry You got a knu,b bum but haha ha h yayayayayajayahayahayahayaha thats really funny whether its too early yet or not too early zi dont think it is zi thought wad on one occasion today but now I thinkmby tomorrow wrll be right to say e en I will. Happy Easter Robbie and Hollie and Lorretta hopefully easterbunny visits and spoils all of us hopefully no more numb bums . cheers please reply
Hey Dan, you have got to be careful of the Num Bum mate. I might need someone to kiss it better. Easter bunny isn't too far away now my friend, only 7 more sleeps. God bless you my friend. 🙏
@@robbiefishing good be sure to send Heaps of Choccolae easter eggs plain , crunchy choccolate easter eggs cherry ripe chocclate easter eggs to enjoy over easter and couple if brand new lures please if possible that eould be lovely going triut fishing tomorrow hopefully I catch a monster exstreamly fat and exstreamly eavully pregnant rainbow trout full of roe already fully fourmed and fullly devellopedand fully grown and akready very fattyy and creamy smooth and soft ready to eat.ceers please reply
Hey Robbie Do you have a name for your canoe ? Perhaps "SS Minnow" .... now I'm thinking of Gilligan's Island "Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale...."
Thanks mate. I actually took 2 commercial breaks out. TH-cam had it laced with add breaks so I thinned them a little bit. I can't take too many out though because I have a family to feed. 🙏
@@robbiefishing No worries, mate. I actually turn off my ad blocker when I watch your videos to make sure that the view is counted toward the monetization. One thing I can't figure out is why some creators claim to get demonitized for demonstrating cleaning techniques, such as backing crabs, while other creators do not.
Wow go the sea eagles. Beautiful spot but the thunder......
Thanks mate. It's amazing up there, the thunder echoes right around the lake for ages.
Last time I was in a canoe was when my wife and I rented one at the boatshed at Fairfield
After paddling for a while we pulled up at the dock and the missus asks "How do we get out ?"
I say "I'll hang onto the dock from my end, and you being in the front get out first and then you hold the canoe for me"
All good except that as I stood up and leant over to grab the dock, the canoe swung back out because she was holding the front.
So within seconds there were a couple of dozen people enjoying their lunch 😅 laughing hysterically at the sight of me stretched out face down over the water with strained fingers on the dock and toes hooked inside the canoe.😅
Hahaha OH NO!!!! What a disaster. A disaster at the time, but a happy memory now. Haha
I watched to the end. Thanks as always. You know, if people want to know who the best fisho is up our way, they ought to know about you!
Thank you so much for your kind words Jeff. I'm certainly not the best mate, and more than happy not to be. My goal is to be the happiest and I must be getting close by now. 🤣🤣
Great video Robbie, just shows what a great human being you sharing your catch with the wild life. cheers buddy. take care and stay safe. 👍
Thanks so much mate. 👍
Sure glad you got another boat.I love that whistle udid after bird.God bless.
Thank you so much Becky. How amazing were those Sea Eagles. I was truly blessed on this trip. 🙏
great eagle footage
Thank you so much Donna. I was so blessed to have them feed that close to me.
That eagle was amazing!! What a magickal experience. Again,i enjoyed this vid. Tight lines hun.
Thanks so much Sheena. I absolutely love the sea Eagles. Watching wildlife is a huge part of all of my fishing adventures.
Awesome video robbie like how you give the eagle a whistle and he took off out of the tree for the fish 👍
Thanks Jay. How amazing are those beautiful eagles.
Robbie, I haven't finished watching yet, but I immediately thought of the J stroke! Looking forward to seeing the rest of it!
Thanks Jeff. Someone else mentioned that. I must look into it.
Feeding an Eagle. Gold. Great.
Nice work Robbie, have me in the front and no worries 😊😊 Love the sea Eagle
Thanks so much Deb. You would have a blast. Haha
The second canoe looks much better than the first one that you showed before the "Hay you, your watching... 😂😂😂
Awesome video Robbie, I’ve never caught a Redfin before. Your videos are very awesome thank you for posting them mate 🙏.
Hi Jesse thank you so much for watching mate.
Thx impressive Robbie One of the few great uses for redfin and carp. Feed them to the bird life.....Pellicans are goodforfish disposal too.....THX for the great vids..
Thanks Steve. I have feed carp 2 feet long to pelicans. Haha They will eat two or 3 and still manage to fly somehow. LOL
Cool vessel 👍👍👍👍👍 cool trip sea eagles were cool too that’s a whole lotta cool 👍👍👍
Haha Thanks Cam. Everything about Lake William Hovell is cool. I love that place so much.
How beautiful is that a beautiful eagle feeding right beside you that's a life time opportunity. My favourite place to fish I can't wait till winter to fish there again. That lure is a Kmart one haha
Thanks mate. I thought it may have been. I have it to a great young fella I met fishing over the weekend. I hope he catches a monster in it.
This has to be one of my favourite videos from you. Brilliant. Those soft plastics are awesome for reddies
Thanks so much mate, you're not wrong. Definitely my favourite.
@@robbiefishing I'm learning so much from your redfin kayak and lake videos with soft plastics. Certainly is my favourite type of fishing. Thanks again. Look forward to many more!
@@rhoffy101 Thank you so much Ricky. I actually have a kayak redfin fishing video coming out on Sunday night, filmed at the Waranga Basin.
Love the footage of the eagle. Have fed pelicans similarly but that is rarer and very special.👍🐰
Thanks so much Paul.
It’s always good when you can retrieve your lure/soft plastics 😂. That’s such an amazing sight to see that sea eagle do that!
Thanks so much Jesse. I feel blessed to have had that happen right beside my canoe.
so cool of that slow mo of the sea eagle. the eagle has landed on its perch haha
Hahaha thanks mate. Landed on my perch more like it. LOL One of them was destined for the dinner plate. LOL
Great stuff Robbie! Loved the footage of the Eagles.
You’re the real influencer in Wang! 😂
Haha thank you so much Wayne..
great video robbie ,great bird film .
Thanks so much mate.
That footage of the eagle is just next level. Love the new canoe can't wait to see more adventures in it 💜🎣

Great video Robbie, a few redfin and some awesome eagle footage, gotta love fishing.
Thanks mate. Sure was a ripper afternoon..
The footage of the eagle taking the fish was fantastic
Thanks mate. I feel blessed to have experienced it.
it's possible there a breeding pair with a clutch

That was excellent when I saw your other channel LOL 😂 I thought hmmm got a “bigger boat” love watching the sea eagles
Seems a versatile vessel
Thanks Peter. Haha Well it is a bigger boat kind of. LOL 😂
I think a vessel is actually a ship. This isn't that big. LOL

Almost the same fishing conditions down here in SE Gippy, plenty of small redfin and bass.
Hopefully everyone does the same and throws em back to get bigger!
Wicked storm too! 😁 I'd be calling it just the same! Geeez.... 😨
Thanks mate. I love the way the thunder echoes across that lake.
Hi Robbie. Great video mate. What species of fish are causing the rises in front of your canoe? I am thinking Trout.
Thanks mate. I am guessing small trout, or very likely small carp. Sadly there are carp in there.
Well Robbie l used to have a Canadian canoe similar to yours it was a 3 seater. It was made in Victoria and was used on the Yarra at Fairfield studley park it used to be a hire canoe. It was great used it for about 10 years.
That's awesome Neil. It was probably bigger than this one I would imagine. They're a lot of fun aren't they.
Nice part of the world

@@robbiefishing it did I had to help my mate land it
The ss Robbie 😅 cool mate !
Haha thanks mate. SS minnow. LOL 😂
Does it have any boyancy foam robbie ?
Yes mate, up the front and back.
Wait for the thunder - come on Robbie where was the missing ACDC reference there? Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder
Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder
Thunder, thunder
I was caught
In the middle of a lake (thunder)
looked 'round
And I knew there was no turning back (thunder)
My mind raced
And I thought, what could I do? (Thunder)
And I knew
There was no help, no help from you (thunder)
Sound of the drums
Beating in my heart
The thunder of guns
Tore me apart
You've been
Thunderstruck
Hahahaha I totally should have sung that. LOL I though "Why does it always rain on me" was quite appropriate. LOL 😂
Put Rohan up the front and we can watch the Robbie and Rohan show. Should name the canoe the seaeagle. Cheers Steve.
Thanks Steve. The name is a great idea, but Rohan and I both in there together not so great. LOL 😂
@@robbiefishing But very entertaining for viewers. Cheers Steve.
Hi Robbie, love your videos. Just wondering why you kill the fish through suffocation in the eskie? I’ve read that brain spikes are more humane and that suffocation reduces the taste of the fish.
Just wondering whether you have an opinion on how to kill fish.
Keep at it legend.
Thanks so much Asher. I actually kill them as quickly and humanely as possible before I put them in the eski, but I try to keep it off camera as TH-cam gets a bit funny about that kind of stuff.
I usually stick my fingers under their gills and bend their neck back until it snaps. Takes about 1 second and their dead.
If you look at the one that I took out of the eski for the Sea Eagle it has a broken neck. 👍👍
Looks LIKE you copped some S-HIT!
What pound line do you use for Redfin?
Hi mate, I use 4lb line..
@@robbiefishing thanks mate keep making awesome videos

Love your videos mate if you round Echuca way hit me up I’d be happy to get the bath tub out and go for a fish
Thanks so much Ryan..
You could try out Riggers and a raised seat
Excellent idea mate.
Hey Robbie
Do you have a name for your canoe ?
Perhaps "SS Minnow" .... now I'm thinking of Gilligan's Island
"Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale...."
Hahaha I just suggested that yo someone else. It would be appropriate based on the size of the fish that I catch. Haha
I think young bro might have her name written on that front seat sitting bull
Hahaha when I first bought it she wasn't getting in it for anything. There was 1 cobweb, and that's one too many. LOL
thats 1 of the 3 pack red and silver lure from bcf haha
Another great video. Thanks. Too bad that youtube stuffed 16 commercials into it. Three were skippable, thirteen were not.
Thanks mate. I actually took 2 commercial breaks out. TH-cam had it laced with add breaks so I thinned them a little bit.
I can't take too many out though because I have a family to feed. 🙏
@@robbiefishing No worries, mate. I actually turn off my ad blocker when I watch your videos to make sure that the view is counted toward the monetization. One thing I can't figure out is why some creators claim to get demonitized for demonstrating cleaning techniques, such as backing crabs, while other creators do not.
How did Loretta react when you told her about the Sea Eagles
With utter jealousy. LOL 😅
gday robbie that lure you found come in a pack of 3 for $14
Hi Fletch, thanks mate. I have it to a nice young fella I met while fishing on the weekend. I hope he can catch a monster fish on it.
@@robbiefishing Good on you mate. Keep up the great videos. Also I love your new vessel.
scuppers in a canoe, not sure it would work, flotation may be a problem
Hahaha 😂
I suspect two Sea Eagles = mum and dad?
Yep, there were definitely 2.
Redfin effect me the same way my hands itch I thought it was just me
Haha they're shockers for it aren't they. 😂 If they caused us to get sick I'm sure we would handle them with a lot more caution. LOL
