Fishing Victoria Forum

Headed down to the creek after work today, mainly with the intention of finding golf balls, but noticed there was A LOT of Carp about. This is no different to usual, but given the water was so low and clear and I could see them all, it evoked a very visceral response, so I dumped the plastic bag wit...

Went out to the Wimmera River today where it was hawt , which meant the Carp - and mozzies - were out in force. It's safe to say the mozzies were biting way more than the fish. The Carp out the river seem really active in the hour or two before dawn, where they feed really strongly, before the cool ...

I've caught the grand total of one carp on lure (Ecogear SX40). Was foul hooked. Went 80 cms though

Just the two again today. Both taken on float. The Carp are still there, but they seem to have slowed down a bit.

Got this slab down the creek the other day (05/03/2023).

Got him after throwing a whole can of corn in as burley.

Got these 4 down the creek on the 13th March, 2023. Went back the next day in even better conditions and was expecting a doubly-big haul, but got zilch, but I guess that's just fishing. With daylight saving officially wrapping up today, I think that's me done for the 2022/2023 'season'. My fishing e...
