In that photo it's actually a garden worm/tiger worm cocktail. I use mainly garden worms.

A 41cm Reddie is a good fish. Good fishing mate.

Caught 1 that went 41. As always they all go back.

I was led to believe redfin were like carp captures and not allowed to be returned to the water ? seeing they are an introduced species...

That's what I thought mate. Do you get your own or buy them?

They are in NSW, here releasing them is discouraged but not illegal. Somewhere like Don Lake it probably doesn't make much difference though.

Thx didn't know that.

41cm is a great reddy, well done. I spent a few hours at Don lake last week with worms but we couldn't catch anything in a couple of hours. 4 rods out, 3 on a running sinker and 1 on a float about a foot off the bottom. We were about half way down the lake on the road side. Do you know if they will be releasing trout there for this school holiday? I smashed a few on tassie Devils there earlier this year.

Yeah that sounds like the spot I fished yesterday. Can't believe you didn't catch anything? How far out were you casting? I find shorter casts bring the best results there, no need to land your bait in the middle. I'm not doing or using anything fancy? Kmart rod, crap line, I don't spend money on fishing anymore really.
Yes the trout will return these school holidays. 400 . Ammo for the trout is- light line, stick float, size 14 hook, anglers delight burley and maggots.
