I understand that feeling very well. Sometimes if I have had a bad day packing my rods and going fishing is what I need. I don't need to be catching fish.

Worms. Takes about 10 minutes to get 1st bite but once you attract them to your bait just keep casting in the same spot and the bites will come almost instantly.Sinsemilla wrote:Well done mate. What was the stand out bait?

Re: Don Lake - Healesville today
Very envious of you at the moment - haven't been up there since about this time last year.
Been so busy lately haven't been fishing full stop for a few months.
Think I am seriously going to have to down tools and make the trip up to Healesville and try my luck again. Had trout there but never managed a redfin.

Re: Don Lake - Healesville today
Went again for a 2 hour fish and caught I've 10 Redfin. Seems to be a lot feeding lately. Funny thing was I'm sitting there catching plenty on my cheap kmart sticks while a friendly coarse fishermen using $$$$$ worth of equipment sat next to me and caught zilch.ChrisD wrote:Very envious of you at the moment - haven't been up there since about this time last year.

Worth the trip mate, use worms and I can promise you heaps of action at the moment. Only small but there is Redfin to 50cm in there. 400 trout get released these school holidays.
