Hey mate. Joel who owns the boat is an abalone diver so it’s his diving hookah system that feeds him oxygen when he’s diving

Cheers Daveo! Thanks heaps for tuning in legend

Thanks mate! I’ve had most of my success around sunset/evening but mostly because I choose to fish at that time. To be honest any periods of low light or darkness is really good for land based squid fishing as they come in close the darker it gets

Cheers Daveo, appreciate the support! Always on the lookout for some new spots. There’s a lot to explore in this great state and having a ball doing it. Cheers for tuning in mate!

Cheers brother! You’re absolutely killing it atm keep it up!

G’day Jimmy! Got it from Cover Craft in Bayswater

Cheers thanks for that I'll be going to get one of those myself I reckon looks great 👍

Bloody oath it was! Thanks heaps for tuning in legend ❤️

Tell me about it mate! I just hiked down to the upper cobungra river from dinner plain and it was an absolutely magical spot. Quite literally didn’t see any signs of life though. Something tells me that the cormorants have already done their dash through there 👎🏼 not a single trout was spotted and covered some grouse water

Would love to mate! I could definitely learn a thing or two off yourself. I’m keen as let’s organise that in the new year 🎣

Cheers John! Basically up to the corner is the most productive area I find. I reckon the closer you get to the beach the shallower it gets, but on a really high tide I do believe that area closer to the beach would produce a few as I’ve seen people catch them there before, but the water closer to the corner is the best I reckon. Thanks for tuning in mate and really appreciate your feedback 😊

G’day Jason! In terms of squid there’s no minimum size limit. Generally speaking though the best times to target them is when the weather is nice and calm and the water is nice and clear. Generally speaking in Vic the calmest weather is in autumn. A rising tide or close to high tide is best when you’re land based as the water is already shallow enough when you’re casting off the shore so the deeper the water is I believe the better your chances are. Thanks heaps for tuning in really appreciate it!

@ love your work mate. I’m a fly fisherman which is what got me onto you. Really like your laid back, pragmatic approach. Was just listening to a leading US pod and they (despite being an industry leader in equipment and web presence) haven’t done a vid on bow-n-arrow casting. Challenge made.

⁠@@JasondenHollander-qj5hpcheers mate appreciate that! The old bow and arrow cast is an under rated cast when you’re in that twig water. I guess not many people fish that kind of water hey. Looking forward to doing a little bit of fly fishing soon though. Hopefully the trout gods are good to me!

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you too! Currently down in east gippy going on a few fishing adventures over the summer. Hopefully the fishing gods are good to me. Thanks heaps once again for the support legend 😊

Absolutely it is! They are really coming back strong in some sections of the Murray. Great to see a healthy river with plenty of natives

She was high that weekend as we had a good dump of rain! Regardless though we got out of the bush and had a cracker of a weekend 😃

Bloody oath it was. Never a dull moment on the river 👌🏻

Cheers Daveo! Already an incredible time when you’re up on the Murray 😊

Hanno will put you onto the fish for sure. If you do go make sure you grab a couple of small copper coloured spinners as he has been getting most of his fish on em. Appreciate you tuning in Gav thanks heaps!

@ been on the celtas of late, gold and red etc. think I need to just put the cameras down and concentrate on on fishing a bit more I reckon.🤦🏽

Thanks so much for the plug, I tell ya mate that is crazy keen shit my friend, great video as usual brother

Definitely mate, we will point you in the right direction 👍

@@noojeebushgoods6755 I seen you using what looked like Celtas in a video I had a Quick Look at. If I get up your way I’ll be sure to drop in. But for me it’s no more fishing till I get to Mallacoota after the NY!

@@eggtimer2 thanks heaps for your praise appreciate it 😊

If you watch the entire video it will become obvious the area I’m fishing in

@TommyTimeFishing ah, yes, didn't catch it. Close!

Cheers Dave! Definitely not a good mix so it spooked me out a bit. Thanks for tuning in mate appreciate it!

Hahah you’re not wrong! When the water’s dirty after a bit of rain it’s a hard fly to beat isn’t it. The fish love them

Hey mate. This is on the eastern side of Port Phillip Bay, in particular around the Hampton to Black Rock area. If you do go be sure not to fish in the marine park. Good luck mate!

Cheers Jakey! Even better when my wild theories pay off too 😂 looking forward to catching up with ya when you’re back ledge

Thanks legend! Appreciate the support ❤️

Thanks heaps Dave! Just another curveball for us trout fishos that we gotta deal with but challenge accepted. Thanks heaps for watching mate really appreciate it!

Cheers mate! 🙂 thanks heaps for tuning in

Cheers Gav! I tell you what it has been a tough season this one but it has forced me into some new water and it’s been great exploring some new country and picking up a fish here and there, but you’re not wrong some days I feel like giving up 😂

@ I say that it I’m done with the trout, then I’m flicking lures 2 hours later at what I think is good water ! 🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏽🤣

@ haha don’t worry you’re not alone! Think we have been very spoilt the last couple of years with above average rainfall and cooler temperatures but she’s a lot dryer and hotter so far this year which doesn’t favour the poor trout. Plus the cormorants too! Definitely some challenging times lay ahead for the trout fishing in the state unfortunately

Thanks heaps Gav! Sometimes those smaller streams I believe are easier to fish because you can cover all the fishable water throughout the stream really efficiently. Thanks heaps for tuning in legend and you keep up the great work too! 😊

Cheers legend! Yep just buying them from Compleat Angler. Sometimes I dig up a few earthworms at home after rain but a big juicy scrubby is sometimes hard to beat

@ if you ever head up to the Gibbo River near Benambra I know a good spot for Scrub worms... it’s definitely not a secret! 🤣

@ there aren’t many secrets around these days hey 😂 but sounds good if I do end up in Benambra I’ll have to let you know cheers!

Hahah too right 😂 unfortunately the waders had to stay behind but made sure the essentials came along with me. Thanks heaps Jakey boy! Hope you’re enjoying Exmouth legend

Likewise for you too Hanno! Thanks heaps for watching 💛

Yeh okey cheers Dave 😊 thanks heaps for tuning in! That’s the last of Italy there. We’ll be back on Australian shores from now on until the next overseas trip 🇦🇺

Ciao Bella

Jakey boy! I know right absolutely unreal. Even better it’s a completely new stream to me too. I’ll have to give ya a call sometime next week if you’re free and you’ve got reception? Thanks heaps for watching ledge!

@ always great chatting to ya mate. Call when ya can for sure 👍

Cheers Lord! Good to see you getting stuck into a few lovely fish lately. Keep on killing it 👏🏻

@ I noticed that you measured the water temperature in your video - loved it ❤️

yeh honestly I reckon that’s absolutely key to having a great session. If you check the section you’re about to fish and find it’s a tad too warm then maybe try a little further upstream where generally speaking the water is cooler. Could be the difference between targeting some actively feeding fish in comparison to targeting some lethargic fish that aren’t all that keen on feeding up.

Stonefly

@@chrisdenney5493 yep correct! I realised this after I made this video

Cheers mate! This is in the Yarra Valley. Most or if not all rivers that are linked to the Yarra River (besides the ones that are infested with carp) will have a small population of trout in them. Good luck and happy exploring!

Hanno! Cheers ledge appreciate it! ❤️

Cheers Bailes! Hope you’ve been getting a few fish lately mate

Cheers Daveo! Was one of those grouse sessions anyone would hope to have on a little stream. Thanks heaps for your support mate appreciate it 😊

Legend thanks heaps mate 😊 there’s plenty more where that came from too! Thanks heaps for the support really appreciate it!

It’s grouse country up that way isn’t it! Once I get a proper 4WD I’m keen as to explore the snowy a bit more, nunniong plains and up around Omeo too. Soo much good country up that way! Cheers for tuning in legend appreciate it 😊

Thanks Paul! There’s plenty more waterways like that in East Gippy that I reckon don’t get a lot of attention that I’m keen to explore too. If I do catch a few fish in the process that’ll be a bonus!

It might be..

Cheers Dave! Certainly was a cracker of a stream. Looking forward to getting back up that way again come summer. Thanks heaps for watching mate

Thanks heaps Jeff! Hard to believe that a lot of the forests around Buchan there got absolutely smashed by the fires but nature is an amazing thing and it’s recovering really nicely. Cheers for tuning in!

Cheers mate! Thanks heaps for watching

Cheers mate! Yeh look I knew we had it really good here in Aus, especially in Vic but I got the full appreciation now for just how good our fisheries are. It was such a process to get a license and pretty expensive too, and from what I can gather they aren’t stocking 11.5 million fish back into our waterways like the Victorian Government does. Nothing beats home 👌🏻 Thanks heaps for tuning in mate!

@@TommyTimeFishing Absolutely love it anyway, great work.

Thanks Glen! Always a memorable moment your first fish on the fly. Mine was a little brownie also in the Yarra at Warburton. Thanks heaps for tuning in!
