Redfin Fishing In A Small Dam

This dam is only about one quarter of the size of the last dam I fished in, but does that mean the fish are a quarter of the size as well? My mate Jacob and I flicked around a few lures to try and find out - the answer may shock you! (but probably not LOL)

Good section, small dam lots of small redfin = less food

[@RKJFishing]

Yeah I think they might be a bit stunted due to overpopulation. There was some bigger ones in there but I reckon someone kept a decent feed and now there's tons of tiny ones haha. Might need some culling to bring it back

[@astonwoolley]

Nice one Robbie! I live in Bendigo aswell

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks mate.

[@bushfishncook2128]

Well plenty of fish which still makes for a great session even if they aren't giants

[@RKJFishing]

Cheers mate, yeah they're all fun!

[@asurrtreyli258]

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks so much mate, glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@aussieswatching3135]

What a lovely comment 😊

[@pierreborg]

Rohan, you need to be careful with those kamikaze Red fin there as dangerous as our drop bears.😂 Always entertaining mate thanks for the great content.

[@RKJFishing]

hahahaha I think he wanted to be on camera a bit longer! Thanks heaps mate

[@MJMFISHING]

Where are you?

[@deanbennett1909]

Next time grab yourself a 3cm Pink Tiger Bullet Lures they are easily the best for Reddies and Trout too.

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks for the tip Dean I'll have to grab one next time I'm at Mccreddens

[@mattturner565]

That was funny mate thanks I needed that laugh today 👍

[@RKJFishing]

haha no worries mate! That reddy launching itself back out of the dam was hilarious lol

[@Kissykizzy]

What lb line you use for reddies mate?

[@RKJFishing]

I used 6lb mono up until recently but I switched to 4lb mono, I can cast way further and more accurately now with the 4lb

[@captainfrank01]

Good fun session Rohan, looks like a bit of a stunted population - someone must have caught all the bigger models!

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks Frank! I actually said the same thing to Jacob as we were leaving, I think someone kept a good feed LOL. Might have to cull them a bit next time I'm there

[@captainfrank01]

@@RKJFishing Yep, I think that's the way to go.

[@tubby5006]

It looks a like Smiths Reef. I’m itching just thinking about the sand flies there. Great session, Rohan ✌️🙂

[@RKJFishing]

haha no sand flies here but plenty of normal flies! too many lol. Thanks Tubby

[@peterhipwell4632]

Excellent session well done some reasonable size reddies for a dam

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks heaps Peter. I reckon there used to be some bigger ones in there but someone kept a feed haha. Hopefully some start eating the others and get big again

[@Urbanfisho]

'They're all little but all fun!' That's what SHE said!

[@RKJFishing]

hahaha

[@True_Semen_Demon]

First hehe

[@RKJFishing]

You were very fast!

[@wayneberry8703]

G’day Rohan, great video mate. Has this dam been stocked by someone? There seems to be heaps of Redfin in there lol

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks heaps Wayne, I'm not sure to be honest. Probably a long time ago and they've been in there ever since but that's just speculation

[@robbiefishing]

Awesome work mate. What a great little spot you have there. I love the dark colours of fish from clear dark water. I had a photo of a yellowbelly sent to me during the week, it was almost black and gold.

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks Robbie, yeah it's a little gem! I think a few need to be culled though I reckon people have kept the big ones and now there's only heaps of tiny ones left haha. Wow that would have been something to see!

[@MarkGriffiths-v7v]

Why do you throw em back they are a pest how gunner get rid of em if ya put em back

[@RKJFishing]

Seriously? If there was no redfin in that dam it wouldn't have any fish at all lol. Besides, It's not illegal to put them back and I can't be forced to kill something that I don't have to.

[@MarkGriffiths-v7v]

It is illegal get fined meant to put em in a garbage bag it is in nsw dunno where you are but if they a pest in nsw then be a pest everywhere lol

[@RKJFishing]

Yeah I'm in Victoria mate, we're allowed to release them where we caught them from

[@MarkGriffiths-v7v]

Yea that's fair enough mate different rules lol

[@HookedOnFishing61]

Good video Rohan, nice little session. I had a Dam good time haha. The next dam will have bigger fish Haha hopefully

[@RKJFishing]

hahahaha. Thanks heaps Jacob

[@coopersfishingadventures]

Great video Jacob and Rohan! I’m thinking about getting one of the hooked on wiglets, I think they will do well at eppalock since I’m going this weekend. All the best mate!

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks heaps Cooper! They are great little lures that swim very well. Good luck at Eppalock mate

[@coopersfishingadventures]

Thanks Rohan, I’ve fished there twice before, do you have any tips?

[@RKJFishing]

It's quite full at the moment, I would cast around any grassy or rocky areas if you're fishing from the bank.

[@coopersfishingadventures]

@@RKJFishing Thanks mate, I’m off the boat but I’ll make sure to try that!

[@chriscoyne4827]

That dam gets dam small redfin but urs great dam video dam good stuff unfortunately that dam spinner you lost haha that was a dam quick session haha

[@RKJFishing]

hahahaha! Thanks Chris

[@michael-fb7ps]

Great stuff mate only little ones but still a bit of fun cheers mate

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks Michael, haha yeah they're all fun!

[@justana3507]

Another great video mate! you won’t believe it but today I reeled in a snag covered in lures, you wouldn’t read about it!

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks mate. Oh wow you hit the jackpot hahaha

[@pierreborg]

Sounds like somewhere I've been fishing mate. I Spend more time losing lures than fishing. 😆

[@Jorre-Fisk]

I launched my lure off the other day. And it was one that i didnt retie the knot to after last time.. dont know if that had anything to do with it but now everytime i start a new fishing session new knots 😅

[@RKJFishing]

That's a habit I need to get into I think! I've lost so many lures that just went flying out to the middle of a lake LOL

[@Jorre-Fisk]

@@RKJFishing hahah one was enough to burn me! Haha 🤣 I'm like that's worse then a snag seeing it fly off into the distance 😄 I'll always retie now after seeing you do it too haha
