Yarrambat Lake, Cheers

Your very welcome, the rod used was a Favorite Black Swan they are very hard to source in Australia. Any 2-4kg spin rod would work well for both bait and soft plastics. Something Like a Shimano Raider, Shimano Zodias/Vanford combo, Daiwa TD Black combo. Have a look on the fishingmad website which suggests some great rod and reel options at different price points. fishingmad.com.au/review/best-spinning-rods-2024

@@fishingmad Thank you for taking the time to reply very much appreciated i'll check it out. Great to see you take your daughter out too, mine is about the same age and she enjoys a fish too.

Nah I haven't fished there before, years back I stayed at Trinity Beach for a holiday and was spewing I didn't get to throw a line. I'd love to head back at some stage and fish the whole top end of Australia. Squid is a dynamite bait choice as nearly everything in our seas eats squid, also it doesn't fall off the hook easily so that's a great choice. With plastics just take a variety of sizes, 3 inch prob best starting point and if you start catching bigger fish move up to 4 and 5 inch

Yeah, that's exactly right, This technique can be very difficult in very tidal waters. I plan my day to fish an hour on each side of the slack tide in tidal waters, Thankfully where I fish in PPB there is bugger all tidal flow so you don't have to worry about that too much.

Thank you so much, I agree its so good to see the local fishing community working together

No sinker, you use a jig head which has weight built into it. They come in a range of sizes and weights to match the soft plastic and depth your fishing

Yeah I did the same took my finesse gear and ended up going back with a slightly heavier outfit

That is awesome! your very welcome

As a beginner, it's very important to understand wind and swell before venturing out. I study tools like meteye, willys and windy before every trip. Understanding the wind direction plays a massive difference in swell height that is safe or not safe. Eg in my area a 15k southerly will have meter plus waves yet a 15k northerly will be very flat. There are some very detailed vids in the FishingMad members area that might be really helpful for you as you're starting that cover stuff like this.

In this video I was using 7 foot rod, But I have since gone out and bought a Shimano Dialuna 8 foot rod which I think would be perfect for this sort of stuff. Much of this will depend on what species your targeting and what plastics or lures your casting

Yeah that's a great suggestion and a spot I've been wanting to fish for a while

Thanks !! Yeah i was very keen to try Angelsea and Fairhaven aswell. I stopped there last week on the way back from Lorne and managed a couple, but keen to give it a crack. I bought a new surf rod yesterday so that might be the perfect spot to break it in

Awesome !! Was great to meet you, shame the salmon slowed down at the end there.

I know these ones are huge for VIC but prob tiny for WA a mate of mine lives there and shows me pics of how good the salmon fishing is that way.

I didn't pay to much attention to the tides, its deep enough at the end. Just rocked up mid morning and fished for a few hours

@@fishingmad awesome, have a good one

The snell rig is really designed for full pilchard or silver whiting, if you want to use half pilchards your much better using a paternoster rig i have video tutorials on that on the channel. Hook sizes are better for that and much better casting distance.

Yeah, I guess so. Ive done 2 trips there in the last 2 weeks. Trip one was this sesh, trip 2 was much quieter but still landed some really good ones just not many

Yep 100% they sure are. One of the most fun forms of fishing.

Heaps of good trout and redfin spots, which side of Melbourne are you on. Just as an example got places like pykes creek, Wurdibuloc res, Devilbend, lake fyans as some great options. Some really helpful articles on this on the FishingMad website.

Thank you, I’m in north Melbourne (Coburg) if that helps

Gars 100% are fishing well right now so that's an option, I've been doing a bit of land based fishing lately and the soft plastics have been far more productive on the pinkies, trevally and salmon., but I'm sure you can still catch plenty with paternoster rig and bait

@@fishingmad Thanks! Is the top of the bay still worth it or better to head further down like Mordy, Frankston, Mornington, etc? I had some good fun with pinkies around Webb Dock during the summer but don't know much about how far up the bay various species push when the water starts to cool. Alternately, I am a Fishingmad Member if you can point me to the appropriate page 👍

Always feel free to send me an email directly yo alan@fishingmad.com.au and I can provide you with a really detailed answer to get you onto some productive areas, personalised to where you fish

@@fishingmad Thanks Alan, will do.

Combination of a few things, Keitech easy shiners 4 inch rigged on 1/4 ounce jig head, Squidgee 120mm wrigglers again rigged on 1/4 and the big one was caught on a lazy lures bomb squad pre rigged plastic in artic assasin

Thanks Allan love your fishing show

Yes that will work fine, if you land a big one it will certainly test your gear. Just be weary not to cast anything to heavy so you don't break your rod tip. When fishing areas like this I tend to fish a tad heavier but it should be fine.

Thanks !! I agree 100% the best thing about that day was spending time with some wonderful people. That's why I kept some of that footage in as it shows people helping each other, the friendly banter and strangers coming together and sharing a passion. Thanks for watching.

Thanks !! Yeah 100% you can still catch in Winter just need to follow the right species and locations and the action can be lots of fun. Just wear plenty of warm clothes.

Thanks Rob !! Honestly with this vid we didn't even look at the tides, we just left in the morning and arrived at 8.30am and were done by 11.30. This time of year you often get good schools of salmon in close in that entire region, the plan was to fish there and if it was quiet try the beaches on the way back. I often fin the bite will go quiet slack tide but mid tide up or down seems to be fine when your well out on a pier and still fishing good depths. The plastics I was using were 4 inch paddletails in whites and natural colours rigged on 1/2, 1/4 and 1/6 ounce.

Thanks !! Love days like this when you turn up and the fishing action is crazy, there are often times with long hours on the water.

@@fishingmad I only catch saltwater fish on my uncles boat not on piers, love western port bay and port Phillip bay fishing
