I loved your video did you catch any shrimp, and what do you use for bait, when fishing during the day I use cheese for bait as well as on my line aswell.

[@aussies7550]

Thanks, The shrimp are around the weeds or fallen trees and most are not big ones, usually start with some dog food, and after the first carp I cut a side off and use that as well for bait (carp seems to be better). Keep forgetting to put the cheese in the car and try for a Murray Cod. Last couple of weeks we haven't fished because of Helen's knee reconstruction, hopefully be back to it soon (we have 3 more vids spare).

Thanks for the entertainment. The water and depth should have produced something decent

[@aussies7550]

Thank you. That was my thing. We went back a week later but there was about 6 cars and4 boats camped there, may be it gets a lot of attention. Will try again there sometime in the near future.

try using shrimps you'll get less carp!

[@aussies7550]

We do use shrimp as well, there is just so many carp in the river. There wouldn't be a video quite often if we didn't catch carp.

Beautiful place . I remember in the old days you could camp anywhere . Has Helen ever cooked a carp? If you know how they are tasty .. I think many aussies have not , as they are taught they are no good to eat .Remember in the Victorian market in Melbourne use to sell them and they sold out every week .Did you catch a rod fish (hehe)Great to see the emu,

[@aussies7550]

There is still a lot of camping on the Vic. side, at Neds Corner a bit further down the river at Easter would have been packed. Helen has cooked Carp and it is quite tasty however there is a lot of bones, the best way to eat it we find is fish cakes. It was good to see the emus come down to drink, there are a lot in the park at the moment.

Chuck a decent lure on mate, walk the bank and find some snags, good luck

[@aussies7550]

Thanks for the tip

@@aussies7550 I've got a couple of weeks off if you want to come out on the boat for a few hours depending your location

[@aussies7550]

I live in Mildura thanks for the offer would be great, but Helen is still getting our her knee reconstruction. We haven't been fishing for 3 weeks, hope to get out this Friday . running low on content for KZbin. If your ever in Mildura get in touch in the latest video and we can have a fish together. By the way I'm 72 year old and have fished most of my life, including 20 years of fishing for Barra in the NT.
