Well done on getting a few fish outta there man. From everything I have heard it's a tough fishery

Thank you so much!

It is a tough fishery and makes every fish rewarding. Given the species on offer and the proximity, it really is a mouth watering urban fishing prospect.

I had no intentions of fishing yesterday. That is untill a friend of mine sent me the picture below! He had even brought along a spare rod.

A beautiful sight casted Golden Perch , that took a Zman Grubz presented to it .

I then did hurry over after work to join my buddy and had a fish less evening .
We did not have any other fish for the day , but it was nice to see that our efforts are headed in the right direction.
The trout did seem interested in surface lures at sunset.

That's an awesome fish :thumbsup: what are the crowds like there or more specifically the tourists as I have a mate who lives in Sth Melb might give it crack next time I'm over there.

Walk around and careful while casting , easy to hook a jogger than a fish at that lake

I was out after work again last evening , focussed on my Yellow Belly hunt at Albert Park Lake . (props to the boss who asked me to scram at 5 PM).
It was a remarkable day , nice and warm. Very light breeze. No cloud cover.
Really is awesome just to be out and about on an evening like this after a long work week and catching a fish is often a bonus.

Couple of casts in I was playing around with the casting drag on the curado and had a birds nest, hadn't seen that particular variety of wildlife in a while. :rofl:
Quick Surgery, got rid of some braid and tied on my leader .

Thanks for the Lure recommendations Guys!
I was slow hopping my Kokoda Vibe (Black+Gold) from a deeper section over some structure and this beautiful fish smashed it on the drop.

After a short fight I realised that I didn't have a landing net, I guess after a number of fishless trips I had really forgotten I needed one of those here
The back trebles pinged off at my feet, fortunately the front trebles were pinned nice and firm.

My girlfriend helped take the photograph I wanted , with the city skyline in the background and we watched this little slab of gold swim back into the depths .


Happy days.

Nice. We're yet to get an APL golden. It's on the to do list this summer.
