has anyone been getting into any bream lately? i have tried a couple of nights in a row down near the mount henry with no success.

Hey guys i was just wondering if anyone had caught redfin or trout on poppers. Ive never tried them in freshwater and thought they might do well over snaggy or shallow areas. I dont see why they wouldnt work and was wondering if anyone has seen evidence of this working?

Went to honeymoon pool this arvo hoping for a couple of trout and or redfin but forgot about the fact that it was a long weekend so there was a big crowd. But despite the people i flicked a couple of celtars out around the decking not expecting to hook a fish with all of the comotion and was right. So i moved up stream about 40 metres onto an island sort of thing in the middle to acces a nice deep and fairly fast stretch of river with a big old log running from one side or the other submerged under the water. I flicked a couple of casts down stream and slowly brought the spinner in againt the current hoping to attract a fish from down stream or somewere nearby. But i only saw a tiny little rainbow trout come in after it. So the next cast i put further upstream and brought it down and swam the red celta spinner along the big log hoping for some action but again, nothing. But finally after about 10-15 more casts upstream and down past the log i saw what looked like a brown trout of about 30-35cms follow in the spinner and then lose interest right at the end. Anyway acouple more flicks into the same area finally got him, he shot out from further upstream and followed the lure with more enthusiasm than before so i slowed the spinner down but kept it spinning and he smashed it. There was a rush of exitement as i felt the tension of the line get stronger. The trout put on a fare show he jumped a couple of times into the air as i brought him in and right as i was about to grab the line above the lure to land the fish he flicked once more and freed himself from the hook and swam away... I went further downstream from the decking where i found some really nice spots for trout. I saw a couple more small ones follow in and then was called to go back to the car...

So in the end i hooked one fish and saw multiple duvenille fish so overall a good sighn for the trout fishing at honeymoon pool. Taking into consideration that hundreds of people had camped and fished there since the long weekend started on christmass day. I would have taken some pictures but my camera is having some technical problems at the moment.

CHEERS REDFIN 4 LIFE

i went to balingup for christmas and fished in a small pool of water that i had been told there were redfin so first cast i got one tiny little thing i was happy and excited and after that i would get a small one every hour i ended up with 5 very small redfin bit boring because they fight like a blowie

im heading to balingup for christmas and was wondering what lures i should take there is some trout in a brooke near to balingup and redfin in balingup if some one has fished this  area before what lures worked

cheers Brad

hey guys i was just wondering if anyone had been through bailingup lately because i wanted to know if the bailingup brook was still flowing after the heat weve had lately it might have dried up and thats when the fishing is best down there... thanks everyone.

Just wondering if they are any good for catching trout as I'm moving back to halls gap in vic in january and the only fishing there is fresh water. Caught trout an redfin on lures, figured I might try maggots if anyone thinks they'll work

*

Decided to head down to the river yesterday afternoon to an old spot i havent fished since last Summer.

There is defently some good size bream around. Landed a 42cm Bream 2nd cast. (Bream pictured)

We got a couple more in the 25-35cm range.

All in all a good arvo.

Hi

Heading up to the moore river campsite in Januar for 2 nights. Just wondering whats the go up there as i have  never fished up there. Any info on rigs locations, bait etc would be great?

Thanks

Tom

just wondering if anyone knows where i can get some... ive looked whenever ive gone into tackle shops but never found any

anyone got them from a tackle shop around bunbury and are they effective?

any ideas on spots for cobbler in the collie river ive seen them in the dam and one at the rapids any better spots whats a good rig too

hey does anyone here know what methods work well for black bream in the collie river ive tried heaps but never even seen one any input as to weather i should use lures baits soft plastics or anything would be greatly appreciated thanks

and has anyone here got any bream there before and what size?

The official Marron season for 2010 begins on the 8th of january at midday and runs through untill midday on february the 5th

Hey just wondering what fish could i catch there and what lures/baits

ive read that theres redfin and catfish and ive seen a big goldfish/koi there

so has anyone here fished there with success if you have tell me thanks!!

hey guys just lettin people know that redfin are out and about in size and numbers at harvey dam i went there on sunday no sucess but had a fair few strikes and follows of monster redfin and ideas of what lures to use???

most of the action happened using a medium sized hard boddied lure in the perch pattern i think it might be because the redfin have just bread and are predatorising the young redfin.

hey anyone here know what lures are good at grimwade millpond near bailingup ive caught a redfin on a strike pro lure in rainbow trout colour there but for how many redfin there are there they dont seem to take a lure to easily maybe baits like worms/minnows will do the trick any ideas???

hey guys any ideas on were to fish in the wellington dam for reddies we have a boat and electric motor and often troll around dam but never had any luck....weve seen some whoppers but never hooked one my uncle has caught small ones on lures but maybe worms are the go???

Hey guys just wondering any ideas on spots to fish in the capel?

i know theres redfin there and a guy at BCF in bunbury said that they are going off at the moment and that they are reacting to coloured dark lures...

i only live 20 mins drive from capel river so thats not an issue any input will help thanks

Hey guys i was just wondering if anyone on here has any certain riggs that have worked for them

i just found out that there were cobbler in a river within walking distance to my house and thought i might give them a crack...

if anyone here has any info they wish to share i'd greatly appreciate it

 ive also heard that they have spines and that getting the hook out can be difficult any info on that would help heaps to thanks!!!

Having returned home, this Summer I plan on doing quite a few trips to our local creek system chasing the mangrove jack, seeing if I can suss a few things out. Not having caught a jack in my life I was after a few basic tips to get me started - do you prefer trolling, casting, live-baiting and at what stages of the tide etc... lure lengths, retrieve, colour etc... just anything. Also, not being able to use a cast net around the creeks in the North-West, how would you go about collecting live bait like mullet etc... or what would be the best bait?

Cheers!

Hey Guys,

I have a father and son camp coming up at dwelling up at Naga Bush Camp with my sons school - I heard that guys have been fishing there in the river, I want to take the yougn fell fishing for a coupple of hours.

I dont do much fresh water stuffat all. I am guessing weigted single hook with some river prawn do the trick? or some soft plastics worth a go in there?  Any suggestions would be handy. 

Thanks guys

Carl

hey just about to go to the narrows for a nights fishing. whats the best why to get some into some tailor if there is any there? any one heading down tonight? any mulloway lately?



cheers in advance scott.

With summer coming along and boosting river fishing, whats every one getting stuck into?

Ive been getting into the flatties lately around the canning and herring still seem to be around the lower reaches. I have not had a ton of luck with bream lately and have not seen the summer choppers yet.

An old pick i found on the net! No details with the photo but id say its a bream of mammoth proportions. Could be a pickey? but they have more blue in them. Those pilons behind remind me of sydney harbour.

Currently fishing under Garret Road bridge, not much action. Is there any other spots I should try?? I am on foot.

Cheers

Guys 

I would really like to get into the trout here in W.A and am on the search for somewhere to go. Having previously fished Victoria. Eildon, Kiewa valley, Goulbourn river etc. I have been reading about different spots on the net and have read that Wahroona dam, Murray river and Warrens river. It has also pointed me towards Serpertine river. Is there anywhere close to Perth I can go without going to a farm? Is Serpentine River even a spot to go?

I do know that the season is closed at the moment.
