Lake Eppalock bait fishing with Jan Juc worms

Loads of bites and 5 fish landed, including a double hookup! This was a good session; it wasn't red-hot, but it kept ticking along nicely for the entirety of the session. The snags might have cost me 4 or 5 bait rigs, but it was worth it. I have a sneaking suspicion that there was a massive school of tiny redfin pecking away at the baits all day, but some bigger fish definitely showed up.

[@RKJFishing]

Wow well done mate, I hope you enjoyed your feed

Fishing beats football every time.

[@RKJFishing]

I agree Glen!

On that snag when the water drops you might find Robbies lost bag. 😂😂😂😂😂

HAHAHAHAHA

[@mitcheloutdoors_adventures]

Good video Rowan lake Epps lock is definitely one of my favourite fishing spots hade some awsome luck at lake Eppa in the last 2 weeks I went there

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks mate, it's a lovely spot for sure. Congrats on your good luck! I need to fish it more often

[@michael-fb7ps]

Nice job mate few more carp out of the system and they put up a good fight so happy days cheers

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks Michael! They might be a pest but they are definitely fun to wrestle with haha

[@brentonclarke]

Looked like a goods day out fishing. I’m a Collingwood supporter so very happy with the result. Go pies!

[@RKJFishing]

Awesome! Congrats on the win Brenton

[@RaulGarciaFishingandOutdoors]

That was fun, amigo! It's been a while since I visited the channel. Those carps kept you busy

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks Raul, yeah they kept me entertained

[@peterhipwell4632]

Thank s Rohan you handled that double hook up well

[@RKJFishing]

Cheers Peter! I didn't know what I was gonna do for a minute there haha

[@richieboyer8849]

My Brother and I were there the weekend before the GF. Same story. Lots of bites which turned out to be tiny redfin. Fun session but with 4 carp, 1 roach and 3 tiny redfin. Great stuff!

[@RKJFishing]

Nice work mate, I was hoping to catch a roach that day but it wasn't to be hehe. Thanks heaps

[@christianmclean3331]

Nice load of carp 🐡🐡🐡 A double header is always fun .

[@RKJFishing]

It sure is! Thanks mate

[@GRBAquatics]

Very Cool, Thankyou. Cool session. Nice Location with nice 'friendly' bank. Nice Work. All the Best. Cheers

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks so much

[@davehendricks4824]

How strange. Here in the states I’ve never caught carp that small. The average size here is about 5 to 8 pounds for a small one. More fun watching you then some of the channels with thousands of dollars worth of equipment! Hey Rohan, I still haven’t seen you pull in a turtle yet.

[@RKJFishing]

haha yeah I've seen some monsters pulled out from over there as well as the UK. It's probably because we kill every carp we catch so they don't get a chance to get that big, but I'm just guessing. Maybe our hot climate is too much for them to get that big? We also have some fairly big predatory fish in most places that carp are found, (like Murray Cod which can grow to 6 feet long) so they could help as well. Thanks so much for the amazing compliment mate!

[@davehendricks4824]

@@RKJFishing no problem! Here in Wisconsin, we are required to remove the fish from the water, PERMANENTLY. You put it back, you get fined. And I still want to see you pull in a turtle.

Great video rowan

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks Gus!

Snagmagnet 😁 A fish is a fish Rohan. You did very well to land that double hookup!

[@RKJFishing]

Lucky hooks and sinkers are fairly cheap lol. Cheers Frank

[@chrisdore6387]

Best time to go fishing, when everyone is doing something else. Great video and great work removing a few more carp.

[@RKJFishing]

I agree 100% haha. Thanks so much

[@bussieboy7064]

I went out carp fishing on Sunday to my favourite carp spot. By sheer luck I bumped into a nice cod (small hooks and worms no intention on them). 56cm. Quick photo, minimal handling and back in the drink.

[@RKJFishing]

What a lovely by-catch. Congratulations mate!

[@robbiefishing]

Well done mate. Lovely looking spot. I was shopping in Albury while you were filming this, buying camera gear. LOL Holly and I were amazed by how quiet the roads were. We did listen to the footy on the radio though. LOL

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks Robbie, yeah it's a great part of the lake for sure. Nothing like a bit of retail therapy!

[@joelvivian5581]

Lovely spot mate, can't believe those carp stayed still so long.

[@RKJFishing]

To be honest me either haha. It's very unlike them. Cheers Joel

Go the crows! 🦅

I'm a Hawks man but I don't mind the Crows!

[@jerrymaggard9748]

Looks like you luck has changed on catching so many carp but a good day for fishing

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks Jerry, I reckon every day is a good day for fishing haha

[@craigdargie6929]

This time Rohan I must disagree with you. You missed one of the all time great grand finals. Ever. GO PIES. 😅😅 Great to see you removing some of the carp scourge though. Keep up the great work mate.

[@RKJFishing]

haha yep the Collingwood fans have been loud in the comments lol. Congrats on your win mate. Thanks so much Craig

[@HandiMacmundi]

The last time I brought the kids fishing, we drove four hours all the way to Eppalock and found out the whole body of water is fenced out. I don't know why and never did find out why. But it was the last time we waste time going there.

[@RKJFishing]

Sorry to hear that mate

[@blainesellars1548]

Mate I went to the local fish market they were selling carp for food ?? Lol 😂 I said to my Mrs surly not but anyway we’ll brother good fun 🤩

[@RKJFishing]

LOL I remember seeing that on the news, they're trying to push for more people to eat carp. No thanks lol. Cheers mate

[@stringbean1010]

What time of the day did you start and finish ?

[@RKJFishing]

From memory it was about 2:30pm until 5:30pm

good stuff matey,you may have to grow another arm lol

[@RKJFishing]

hahaha it would come in handy! Thanks Billy

[@daz091000]

Thats when the fish start biting

[@RKJFishing]

What do you mean?

[@Tommy23_]

What size hook do you normally use?

[@RKJFishing]

I always get asked that question and I always forget what I bought LOL. This time I kept the packet! I'm using Mustad Size 4 Kirby Kendall hooks.

When are we gonna see you fish in Minecraft on that gaming channel you mentioned starting 😉

[@RKJFishing]

haha maybe not minecraft, but I'm considering livestreaming some games on this channel just to hang out with people. Not sure yet

[@markovasil1608]

I’ve pulled the guts out of a carp and the mongrel still swam away and didn’t rise

[@RKJFishing]

Hahaha he wouldn't have lasted long without his internals

[@bennuballbags2]

Great vide mate, floods have made the Carp population explode. It's time our useless government went electro probing and getting their numbers down a bit. Last time I was at Eppalock it was basically empty! Nice to see it full.

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks mate, yeah that's the highest I've seen it! The carp are out of control for sure, I guess it's up to us fishermen to do our bit! Would be nice if the gov't did something though, you're right.

[@bennuballbags2]

@@RKJFishing Reckon they should employ commercial fisherman they have put out of business to trap fish species and thaw back the natives. Has to be more efficient than hook and line....Could clear wooded sections of the Goulburn and Murray of snags and setup specialised nets that catch anything that swims along then sort out the natives and kill the carp. It makes great fertilizer.

[@RKJFishing]

I dunno about removing snags or using nets, but they definitely need to do something. More paid electrofishing would be the go I reckon

[@bennuballbags2]

@@RKJFishing I mean a net that doesnt actually get them by their gills. it guides them into a small bag like net like trawlers use. Removing a few snags would be a small price to pay for getting rid of mud marlins.

Are you sponsored by Jan Juc? You seem to make a point that they're Jan Juc brand worms every video.

People always ask me what I'm using, so I'm in the habit of naming what I use frequently lol. Like in my lure videos, I always say what I'm using - especially if I catch a fish on it!

[@Warbr33d]

@@RKJFishing You should contact them and see whether they'd be interested in sponsoring you. You've already given them a lot of free exposure, why not monetize it? A quick clip promoting their products at the start of your videos would work.
