Re: Bridgewater on Loddon
I had some scrubbies left over from the uneventfull trip to the murray on Monday so spent acouple of hours on the loddon this morning for a small nibble which ended in a snagged line, but it was nice way to spent some time on a loverly sunny day

Re: Bridgewater on Loddon
This punt went passed me with 3 persons on board.the marking on the boat read.ELECTRONIC FISHING VESSEL.I noticed a pole laying down with looped wires attached which I assumed was a probe.I later had a chat to them when they returned a couple of hours later.They worked for the depi doing research.Said that there were some yellow belly along the edges.probed one 45cm and another 25 cm a couple of small cod. When at the boat ramp One of the guys was cleaning and gutting about a dozen large carp . He said he was going craying in S A next year.I asked if they probed any silver perch which were supposed to be stocked sometime ago.They didn't see any at all. The only fish for the morning was a 48 cm carp which gave a nice fight.

Re: Bridgewater on Loddon
Good report Mallee :thumbsup: at least there is another dead carp.
I've seen one of those electro fishing boats before,wondered what the hell it was when we seen it coming down the river.Would have thought they would have done better than that this time of year, maybe not much around.

Re: Bridgewater on Loddon
Not really worth starting a new thread to report this so I'll just bump this one up,
fished the Loddon at Bridgewater for the first time today in hope of catching natives. Original plan was to flick some lures around but I ended up spending the whole time fishing yabbies amongst the snags out of the kayak. First couple of snags in deeper water provided no fish so I moved to a different spot (still pretty snaggy) in shallower, weedier water and it wasn't long before I felt a small tap...then nothing...then a solid bite, strike...snagged. Had to head home after that but I will definitely be back, very nice stretch of water. :thumbsup:

Re: Bridgewater on Loddon
Thanks for the great report and pics. We enjoyed it. Really want to try that area when we are in Victoria.

Re: Bridgewater on Loddon
Fishing platform I added to a log to make angling easier on this steep bank .Great spot for cod here too.
