[@ScottBarnden]

Would love to see them stock some trout out there, would be a perfect place for some monster rainbows to fatten up on baby redfin.

[@goatedfish08]

Theyll just get eaten by the big reddys

[@mauri7306]

They have just re stocked them

[@bretthass6924]

Well done Alex, another amazing clip as always. A bloke caught 100+ yesterday and had an absolute blast of a time with his family 😀👍

Best fishing youtuber in South Australia!

[@josephvodo4868]

i would not tell Alex my fishing spots as he always gives spots away, a good fisherman never give his spots away

[@goatedfish08]

@@josephvodo4868 the spots are there for everyone to fish ill rather see someone catch 5 and myself catch 5 instead of me just catching fish

[@pointingtojesusministry1405]

Great to see you out on the Kayak again.

[@kimbaker9388]

Good video Alex, I used to fish there 30 years ago and fill up a wheat sack in a couple of hours it good to see they are still there.

Another great episode of AlesFishin Well done mate much love from Brisbane can't wait for the next one 🤙

I cant wait to get stuck into the redfin this coming trout season, got 2 monsters last season, great watch.:) will subscribe.

[@harrison5911]

That's amazing never seen redfin fishing like this before. nice to see SA fisheries using their brains took them a while.

[@kerryb1653]

But they are considered a pest here! You cannot release them - like carp!

[@harrison5911]

@@kerryb1653 I know I meant that they are finally letting us fish in the reservoir

[@kerryb1653]

Ok! Yes I agree. I'm from country Vic and we used to fish in some of the reservoirs. If only we could camp too!

[@oekfoh8684]

Camping would be mad id be there all day n night tryna rid the carp and reds, too bad theres too much rubbish left around as it is already :(

[@nikonboy07]

Yup should have been opened 40 years ago☹️

I used to fish happy valley reservoir as a kid late 80s although wasn’t meant to,the emus would always point us in the right spots for Redfin

[@freedomfunwithjlbfriends7193]

[@BasicFishingNZ]

far out so cool to see the perch attacking the lure. must have felt epic having a solid double hook up on those big perch.

That was a great day Alex! I got 3 over a kilo!!!

Such a great break in a slow season

[@pudding7074]

Didn’t realise you could fish here! Looked at that bit of water with bug eyes so many times in the past 😛

[@Fire4FX]

Recently opened up to fishing. Join the FB group. I was going to go out today but had food poisoning yesterday.

[@Josh.Lovegrove]

crazy video, been meaning to head out and fish here for a while.

[@chas3r_DWAG]

Another good video. Need to do a gear video setting someone up with a good first/new all-round rod and reel combo... Happy to be that person haha.

[@philmusson1265]

Agreed, just what I'm looking for!

[@marcojames6339]

Top job mate. Keen to head up there for a flick soon 🤙🏼

[@ChooRoo]

Nice mate. We were there a few days ago, only got about 6 between us, but enough for the smoker baby!

[@offroadfishing]

Ive been here land based, and had no luck. Might have to try this now it’s allowed. Spectacular sights!!

[@Alexsfishin]

Wicked place.

[@luccamazel1351]

Was just there today! Hour drive definitely worth the 1hour drive;)

[@sixkcrusier2115]

Alex I love your videos and you always post great content, you should go to port Noarlunga to chase salmon and garfish

Love it, We have a shack down that way and now that the fishing has opened up there in the next few weeks I am hoping to give it a crack for reddies

Great fishing Alex. Do you think you will do a video at Happy Valley Reservoir now that it's open. We went last weekend and caught a Murray Cod 😀 it was great fun

[@yep.fishing]

6:56 someone call fisheries! Hahah

[@SuSmallville]

Hi Alex great Freshwater video. Perhaps maybe one day you can do a video about YABBIES or Marron? Cheers.

[@ernestaltimiras]

Welcome back Alex. Peaceful place to fish with friends. Which permit do you need to fish and where to go to get it. Is the ramp new?

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

I wonder how a Sabiki jig would go there? Looks like a great session and a nice feed.

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

What do they taste like, Alex? Great video as always 😍🛶

[@ethanwalters3816]

At 13:00 it looks like a big fish swimming around to the left

[@normalsea4024]

Great video!!! What camera do you use?

[@dylanhollitt4421]

Hey mate, been meaning to do this for a long time, what would you say are your favourite reddy lures? I was just thinking of bringing a few vibes in the 50-70mm range and a few squidgy bloodworm wrigglers and a few z man grubs...

[@AnimalFriend969]

Looks like so much fun but finances only allow me to be land based, all my carp spots have slowed and tides are terrible for Bream and Salmon Trout in West Lakes. I’m going nuts here with no hookups

[@fishoash66]

hey, i was just wondering I know this was a long time ago but what rods where u using???

[@macmacca659]

Better eating than a Yella!

[@ttoill3]

Dude what a session!! Myponga's been on my to do list for a while but the uni budget doesn't exactly lend itself to getting a kayak, how do you recon you'd go there land based?

[@jakeevans7075]

I went there on friday saw plenty people getting reddies off the shore. just use a metal spoon lure 20g so you can cast further :)

[@ttoill3]

@@jakeevans7075 thanks man, sure!

Sooooo need a yak lol!

what yak have u got

[@nickkrassay744]

I thought that redfin could be released in a waterway they were caught in

[@rustic35]

Do they allow land based fishing in there and do you need to pay a fee?

[@Fire4FX]

Yes go to the website.

[@davidperkins2982]

Should do the Warren it’s better and much bigger

[@rustic35]

What were they like to eat?

[@kerryb1653]

My husband got quite a few from here. They are good to eat. We filleted and battered them up. I skinned them, very thick skin which I removed, but stinky guts. I'm from Vic and eaten them before, years ago, but never experienced the guts, a bit off I have to say, but were good to eat once processed.

[@peteedwards6406]

It sucks you're not meant to release them, all the big ones will be gone in a year unfortunately

[@ScottBarnden]

Not really, redfin are cannibals that stunt each others growth if there are too many. Taking some big ones out opens up space for the smaller fish to move up a size category unless they are being absolutely hammered. I've caught some really decent size ones in very heavily pressured waters interstate before, where you still can't release them.

[@petercarter6086]

@@ScottBarnden taking big ones out opens it up for smaller ones to get bigger ! Yeah if you want a lake full of fish the same size. What drivel 😖 leave bigger ones in and get rid of small ones, that way the bigger ones get bigger, simple logic 🤨

[@piotrmod.2224]

Mate, stop snapping fish neck, its cruel and discasting. Ther are better methods to kill a fish. But as long as you catching them, they should be kept alive. This preserve freshness.
