I find corn kernels works best on the Yarra if I am targeting them, otherwise they end up as a bye catch when I use worms

The plus side is, any wife/girlfriend will be happy to sit by Coburg Lake and read a book, play on their phone, etc...getting them to sit on rocks by the ocean with a strong wind blowing is not so easy.
how do you get the wife and girlfriend to sit together to play on phone or read a book? haha
hahaha nice one !!!!

Has it been decided what we will do with the catch?

If anyone on here fishes saltwater, carp fillets make for excellent bait. If you remove the scales but leave the skin on it is near impossible to get off your hook.

I have tried it against pippies, chicken fillets (which I have had a fair bit of success with) and squid, the carp caught more fish then the others combined.

Sorry folks,

I can put anything on the hook, handle anything live or dead, mix up any kind of revolting burley mix. But there is NO way I am going anywhere near "Gents".

Sounds like there will be some fish in there for us to catch on Oct 13th :a_goodjob:

Don't worry, we won't be leaving the icky fishies behind to stink up the place. Either someone can claim them for their own fertiliser or they will be turfed by other means.
