Redfin cull
Submitted by jighead on Tue, 2012-10-02 08:59
A while back we were getting onto some schools of redfin in harvey dam. Just about fish a cast on soft plastics worked near the trees. This was not the biggest haul of about three sessions over a one month period around december. I think the biggest catch was 140 odd.

Wow
Probably the only time someone will praise a haul like this on here. Thats evil and like southcity how is there room for natives, and especially baby Marron with this mob around.
Keep it up. And not trying to pinch a spot, but is this up towards the old Stansfield Rd area (I lived up there before the Dam) or lower, just asking because of the trees, and it was an awesome place for 120mm+ Marron, my biggest 154mm.

spot
I'm not sure where the old Stansfield rd area is exactly neels but it probably depends on the water level as to where you will find them.

closer to Wellington Dam Area
Its upriver from the wall.
Mate when I go down there I will plan a trip or 2 to slay these vermin (and good eating) to keep the marron stocks up.
Should have a Fishwrecked Redfin comp to knock the numbers down. At least then they wont all be runts. From the photo none appear large, but I am not sure.

Good place for the kids and mrs to get into fishing, or lure fishing. Guaranteed catching something and in big numbers too!
