I am back to tell you I went fishing today at Lake Eppalock and all your help was fantastic! (Here is the link to all the help: viewtopic.php?f=105&t=17168 )
First off, we ventured near the caravan area and found a shaded area near the boat ramp. My first best mates dad got a baby carp right after he had cast in and sat down. My fishing experience was quite odd and yet really quite sad. I saw my best mates rod going at it like crazy with bites and his dad always having to rebate or get a bloody stinky baby off his hook, so I decided to leave my dead like rod on its stand and try hook up a lure on the telescopic... BUT! As I started trying to fix the bugger of a reel on the telescopic I hear my name being shouted across the whole lake and my rod had got a fish! I tried to reel it in and do it all pro like (from watching videos hehe) but I couldn't get it in. The problem was that I left it too long and it had taken too much line and got caught under snags in the water.. The second time it happened again, well.. The only the snag but me not being at my rod. I ventured away to see what someone else had caught fishing next to us and my name had once again been shouted across the lake. B U M M E R -- My best mate caught a bloody beaut of a carp, probably around 30cm right before we left.
Our bait of corn was more successful than worms.
You can find pictures attached of our beaut catches,
Cheers.
