nice reddie mate.

wat size are they?

cheers danno

some of the boys down here just fish around the banks of the river at the highway bridge .. red is usually a good colour for them ..

Hey mate thanks for the reply they are noy as big as they seem all about 25cms 600 grams  sorry mate the picture was a bit bigger than it should have been haha

yea they were from the ballingup brook in summer when it was dry me and me dad found a nice small and deep pool that was still full of water and caught those 4 redfin in about an hour all on lures... we now wonder how well we would have with some nice juicy earthworms because we seen lots more...

yea my dads mate has a block down on the river it would probably be good there because its private property and not fished very often but the highway bridge is probably the easiest to get to...

whick bridge the one right in capel or the actuall highway bridge just out???

both would be good though

hi mate i use to fish about 600/800m east from there ,there is a small walk bridge and i fished just around there ,not to sure what the roads are but i think off had it was behind the old bakery or milk place im not sure ,got alought of fish over the kg mark on earth worms and we only us RED lures the only colour we would catch on good luck

 tats a preety good fish deepwater do ya eat em???

i know people that just leave thm on the bank i dont know how you could do that because redfin is really good eating!!!

yea me and my dad are thinking of heading down this evening and giveing it a go will post some pics if we do well all we have is compost worms and plenty of red lures will they do?

do you use float or split shot sinker???? all people have different oppinions on what works well some say keep the worms off of the bottom and some reccon on the bottom is better whats your oppinion?

we manly used lures and the old red celta accounted for many a reddy

worms work well and we used unweighted mostly and one can even slow retrieve across the bottom

experiment and see whats happening

damo6230 has hit the nail on the head ,unweighted is what i have founds the best ,but ever day is different ,the red luers we the ones for me

good luck and look forward to seeing the pic mate

Lived in Bunbury for many years and caught many redfin in the area. as others have said working from the town bridge is a good start. If you can get in contact with Craig Scott (local mad fisher) he lives on the river and has fished the area for many years. have found selta No 2 very successful.

If you have a little time try the dams around harvey they contain thousands of Redfin. All are about the size of Herring. Fish the area when the water is low.

yea thanks for the info me and my dad are heading down to the capel now trying worms and lures see whats working will post some pics later on tonight!

bye and wish me luck haha

as i usually do at any place i returned home from the capel river with an empty bucket........

didnt see anything either and the MOSQUITO'S WERE BAD!!!!!!!!! and the river was quite over grown i dont think anyone has fished there to much lately... probably best after the marron season when it is all full of well used pathways

on the way back home we stopped in at boyanup to try our luck for redfin/cobbler there. And again there was nothing i interested a whole lot of ferral goldfish but none took the hook so im thinking i might go down there after school one day and have a " preston river carp clearing session "

Hey guys went down to busso for christmass with the family and stopped to suss out the highway bridge for fishing. And it looks very fishy its a nice deep hole there and looks like a very redfinish sort of place... gonna go down there in the holidays and chuck a line sometime for sure!!!
