Maribyrnong river

Post by Jethro010 » Sun Jul 27, 2014 12:03 pm

G'day fisho's. Just moved to the area near Edgewater lake/Highpoint. I've seen a few people fish locally in the river and wondering what they'd be targeting? Also what would be the ideal spots along the Maribyrnong river?

Cheers, Jerry

Mainly bream. Chance of pinkies. Chance of mulloway. Chance of barramundi if you pick the right spot ;)

Spotted a barra about a month back. Didn't want to take a lure though. Have to know the right stretch of river and when they're "in season" lol.

I know you think I'm crazy :)

There is a good spot where edge water lake enters the river. Not exactly a secret spot though. You can catch bream, pinkies or other depending on whether there has been a fresh water flush recently or not.

The barra are very poor condition - I wouldn't bother chasing them but if you want to catch one....

Google "tsethar"

And then have a think which stretch of river they turn up in....

I flogged a lure at one for ten minutes. Eventually figured it was dead... Walked up to it on the bank (it was holding on the shallows) got about 3 foot from it and leant over to take a picture ....... And it swam off lol.

Not the strangest thing I've seen - but it's definitely up there.
