Fishing Victoria Forum

Hi, I'm wanting to purchase a new spinner for rainbow trout (stocked) and redfin at Karkarook Lake. My old spinner kept getting hammered by them and is now only partially usable. I heard that the Vibrax spinners are excellent spinners for trout and Redfin. Does anyone ...

... progressing with the help of experienced fisherman. That is why I came to this forum. I live in Bentleigh East and the most common place I go is Karkarook Lake in Moorabbin. I usually go there every week and I hope to see some of you there. I am Japanese and I have moved to Australia when I was ...

... anyone have a suggestion for this? The ones I fish for are usually around the 25-30 cm mark. What jighead and soft plastic should I use? I fish at Karkarook lake the most. I would much appreciate a helpful reply. Cheers. :fish22: :water: :fish22:

What about Karkarook Creek, a bit more upstream where its more clearer like Eel Race Road?

mate my pick would be Karkarook park is stocked with trout for school hoildays tons of free parking , public toilets plenty of room for the kids to run around when they get bored goggle earth it also has redfin,tench and carp and stocked trout are pretty easy to catch

Try Karkarook lake in Moorabbin there are plenty of redfin in there and you may pick up the trout as well.

How did you go?

Trout in there aren't that fussy. 30cm leader is all you really need. Don't need fluoro, mono will do fine. Ive caught them on 15lb mono. Loose lines. Leave a lot of slack, when you see the line go straight then gentle lift and you should be on

I've got powerbait and a size 10 trebled hook, also got corn and some SPs. No 4lb fluoro the lightest ive got is 8lb mono, hoping I can still catch something, Will it really matter ?

running sinker rig. tiny sinker to a small swivel. 1m of 4lb fluoro or lighter if you have it. size 8 hook or smaller. powerbait and/or corn. the powerbait will then float 1m off the bottom away from snags/weed
