Donuts on the Mitchell

[ango]

Hi All.
I had a bit of time to kill, it was a nice day and I had some preserved sandworms left in the fridge from last season so I thought I will give the Mitchell a go. There have been lots of cars parked by the river bank lately, maybe tourists still to go home from the school holidays or perhaps the fish are on? I tried up and down the grassy bank and up the river closer to Bairnsdale, but I did not get a touch, the middle of the afternoon is not ideal and perhaps my worms were off, anyway it was good to get outside for a while after all the recent rain and cold. One thing I did notice was the litter that people are leaving behind on the river bank, how hard is it to take it home? I removed a bucket load but there was plenty left behind.
Cheers
Ango.

I remember fishing the Mitchell river when I was a kid with my cousins. Just small bream and plenty of Mullet from memory. Regarding the rubbish, it staggers me that people/fishermen dump **** everywhere. I just don’t get it. Half of the attraction to fishing for me is finding a quiet spot on the waters edge and enjoy nature without reminders of what pigs people can be. Grinds my gears more than anything I reckon.

The Tambo should be fishing well this time of year

Depending on how much rain you've had lately the deeper sections around the silt jetties and eagle point would be worth a crack

Would of been 15 cars parked along the river on my way home tonight.

Rivers and lake are dirty from all the rain. I would think the bream will be out in the lake somewhere.
