East Gippsland - NSW 13/3/2018 -
Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2018 2:45 pm
Will be loading up the boat, rods, esky and swag and making my way up the East coast leaving on the 13th of March.
The plan is - no plan at all! 2 weeks annual leave and will be mostly winging it, fishing wherever and whenever suits. Likely to do a couple nights at Lake Tyres, then head to Bemm river, Tamboon before eventually meeting a couple mates in Mallacoota on the 17th/18th where we will stay at my friends holiday house. Other than that, I'll be roughing it camping on the banks/sleeping in the boat and maybe rent out a cabin for a night or 2 if the weather turns really nasty. Might sneak up to Eden way after the Mallacoota weekend if the wind looks like it's going to be kind to me, and test the waters offshore.
I have never fished past Lake Tyres before, so Bemm river onwards will be all new to me. Any advice, or tips or places I must try for a fish, feel free to post guys! Thankfully, I am departing shortly before the new moon, which bodes well for me as I love prawning in Lake Tyres and I imagine it would be pretty similar in the following estuaries along the coast.
Also, obviously I'm going to be fishing for over a week - 2 weeks. Most of the fish I catch will be cleaned at the end of the day and straight on ice in the esky in the boat.... 2 things, one: how long can fish be kept fresh on ice before needing to be eaten/frozen, and two: how do I prove to fisheries that I caught what I caught earlier in the week? I'll have a esky in the car as well, but I might not get back to my car at the ramp for up to 2-3 days.
I'll use this thread to update my daily reports (if I have reception/4G) :a_goodjob:
