You can buy them at some tackle stores. I buy them in Winter but grow my own in the warmer months.

Yes, unfortunately I only had light gear but it would have been nice to catch something other than carp.

I always keep a lid on the container. They seem to wander if I don't.

Yes Andre, I picked the worst day to get out...and I didn't bag a stonker either.

This is Yarrambat

when fishing for mullet I use size 14 hooks

Hi, this is the Maribyrnong river behind Flemington Racecourse....not sure if that's where you fished.

I was using 4.4lb mono...made everything feel big.

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

Yes, I agree. Mullet are a fun catch on light gear. Well done on the big ones.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

Yes, I was a little confused...thanks for the tip.

Thanks

lol, thanks Andre, you're right : 2 hooks but only one catch!

Cooked the trout whole on the bbq. Then just peeled off the skin and the flesh came off the bones easy. Fishing at Pykes Creek Reservoir.

@@howtofish5051 Thank you for your reply. I enjoy your videos and the places you fish.

Hi, when I fish for mullet, I use my medium weight rod. I handles 3 to 7 kg line but I use 3 kg line. The berley cages I use range from 60g if I have to cast a fair distance down to 40g if I'm fishing close. I also use the 20g cages and drop inside a ball sinker if I need to cast distance, otherwise I use them at 20g. The 20g berley cages are now in stock and available. Cheers.

lol, I never thought of that. I can see 2 problems : 1. I don't own a cat and 2. My wife might have a problem with me collecting cat feces.

It was the South West point

@@howtofish5051 Thank you! Tried Aitkien Creek today Wednesday/ no good/ too windy.

@@margaretthomas8899 Yes, Aitken Creek can be a bit fickle. The water is shallow and the fish can be dispersed and hard to locate.

@@howtofish5051 I had wind swirling not current. Red fin you cannot be too heavy, the bait has to travel, preferably in one direction at a certain uniform speed. know that by for years fishing the king parrot Sunday Creek places like that/ SEE MY OTHER REPLY TO YOU/ on another one of yours. I did see fisb in the Aitken Creek. Close to Aitken RD, in the corner. it looked like where you were? Tried short leaders to the bait. long ones, just small slit shots, , different size sinkers/worms, maggots, cheese, cast to the left. the right, put my hand in my left pocket, then the right one. you know how it is, you will try any thing to change your luck! The main lake. better I have found the north east corner. but have caught them DECENT RED FIN, of the south east jetty, THERE IN THE WEED, you have to place just to the side of it. not burry it in it is the trick. I mostly don't catch any on the rod i have my burley cage, or even with the smallest sinker, Maybe just use a very small slit shot, with a float, or maybe with out a float. THERE LIKELY DOWN LOW, SCAVINGING WITHIN THE WEED, but as soon as something moves the way they want it to bingo . DONT WORRY ABOUT BIRDS, DUCKS HUMANS. CATS/ DOGS, THE RED FIN DONT, ALL SORTS OF LUERS WILL GET THEM, but i prefer a challenge!

I hope to work through this in the coming weeks.

lol....yep, there's something to be said for doing the smart thing and leaving!

I fished just upriver of Chinaman's bridge and I got there in a Commodore - not off road.

Yep, couldn't agree more. It sure beats working!

Yep, I should have taken my umbrella...or just gone home!

This was filmed in Craigieburn

@@howtofish5051 Have you tried the main lake over Craigeburn Rd for Red Fin?

@@margaretthomas8899 No I haven't tried this lake. It looks like it's full of weed and could be hard to fish.

@@howtofish5051 Fish on the eastern northern side of it/ long thin scrubworms on a float, small slit shot to get down, bait has to move, just place your bait side of the weed, there it subsides a BIT. jUST TO THE RIGHT IS KIDS PLAY AREA. Maybe you might need to cast a bir further. to the left or right, just ar your feet, their quiet the fish. redfin, but there there/ most times,

@@margaretthomas8899 Thanks for the tips

Yes, I've found compost worms to be effective with carp. I use them a lot, tigers, red wrigglers, etc and the carp seem to like them. Also these compost worms are easy to raise so you can always have a ready supply.

Yes, this is the Nong.

I was using chicken and maggots.

yes, you can add food dye.

@@howtofish5051 do you add it to the fish or to the maggots?

they seem to be multiplying faster than in the past. I'm not sure what is causing this but does seem to be impacting fish numbers.

@@howtofish5051 otherwise known as “the Black Death” in other countries. Sadly trout and roach are right at the top of their kill list so expect these to all be eaten first. Usually takes between 6-8 weeks to eat all the fish in a decent sized body of water. Then they’ll move on elsewhere once they’ve emptied the joint

There is a few lakes I am fishing at the moment in the goldfields and the cormorants are causing huge problems. They seem to know when fisheries are stocking the trout as they all hunt in packs of 20. Real predators and something that needs to be done about it

Yes, I had one in the car but should have had it beside me.

No, I've never caught eels on maggots. Caught plenty on worms.

thanks, glad you liked the video.

They have stocked it again for the school holidays

@@howtofish5051 oh ok do you know if they still stocked a few stonker trout in there

@@theblahh.. no, the stonkers are put in for the September holidays

@@howtofish5051 oh ok cool mate can't wait

Do your chickens eat the maggots?I thought to try this to make chicken feed

thanks for the tip.

I've been raising them long enough to know, by feel, how much moisture to have with the medium. Otherwise it's best to have small drainage holes.

Yes, they do take time to settle in. It can take a few weeks. Don't feed too much flour. Make sure they eat it all before you add any more.

...I think being tone deaf affects my choice of music ;)

My experience has been that the Euros attract the most fish. I use other types because I don't always have a large enough supply of the Euros. I've caught lots of fish on all types of worms - tigers, blues, Euros, flat tails and scrubs. If I was to chose the absolute best type it would be the scrubs. The only reason I don't use these all the time is that they are so hard to raise. My second best choice is the Euros. You can select the size of worm for the size of fish you want to chase, as you have mentioned...and they do seem to appeal to most fish.
