Road Trip Fishing Adventure In Northern Victoria, Australia

[@siquinnell6068]

That’d be bloody right , the great man goes to green lake and gets sunshine and a gentle breeze to rustle his hair a little and catches a few fish in a few short hours and what do I get for 2 days ? 40 klm gales with gusts up 65 and rain and cold that’s what , fish ? Ha ,one tiny Redfin that the worms ambushed and had by the throat , had to use a sinker that was that big the lake level rose two feet when it landed, watched a swan flying in one spot for 20 minutes before it had a heart attack,bloody wind, nice one Robbie

[@robbiefishing]

Hahahaha poor swan. LOL 😂😂😂

Great video Robbie! The moon over the water looks amazing!

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. It was such a beautiful place to be at that time.

[@leobattiato4487]

Hey Robbie, what an action packed video, great to see the Basin🐟

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. I love my time at Waranga Basin.

[@chriscorry2672]

Had the Monday blues today( still hungover from grand final 😂) but after watching a couple of your videos I’m well cheered up. Keep up the good work Robbie mate ❤

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks so much mate. I hope you're not a swans supporter are you?

[@chriscorry2672]

@@robbiefishing haha. No. I don’t even like footie. I just went for the bbq 😂

[@Dmacs_fishingandfun]

I have to agree 100% fishing has been very slow and the wind has been atrocious, every time I get a day off to fish windy, rain or no fish. But great to see a day in the life of Robbie and a few fish being caught. Nice Vid Robbie

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Dmac. Bring on some warmer weather. 👍

[@RKJFishing]

Good to see you catch a few at the spot I told you about! A tip for the bells: if you can't have a steep rod, place the rod on more of an angle to the line horizontally, it has the same effect. That seagull catch was a pisser hahaha

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. Haha 😂😂😂 An unexpected bycatch. LOL 😅😅 Thanks for the tip on the bells. Captain Frank says that under the water is the best place for them. 😂😂😂

[@lennytheleopard]

Thank you, thank you , THANK YOU! for telling us where you are fishing. There are many great fishing videos on youtube but the location is rarely mentioned and I assume this is on purpose but I don't know why. For folk like us living overseas (Scotland in my case) I can now visit these spots on holiday. Cheers

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much for your kind feedback Lenny. I'm always happy to mention these larger places. It's not like they're secret spots anyway. I don't name places when I am on private property, or fishing in smaller waterways that cannot sustain too much fishing pressure. I hope you have a great time down here in Australia mate. 👍👍

[@chriscoyne4827]

25:35 great cast there couple of mistakes there you went for luch hahaha love it buddy. Great fishing the basin now but so dam Small beautiful sunset that night. The seagull is the catch of the year 👏👏

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks mate. WOW I proof watched this video twice and didn't pick that one up. LOL 😂

[@kevinwhitty3354]

Hi Robbie great video again mate I'll bet that seagull thought the fish jumped out and grabbed him instead of the other way around 😂thanks for the work and travel you put in to entertain us 👍👍👍

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks so much Kevin. I bet that seagull felt relieved once it got off. LOL 😂😂

[@sheenamoore3938]

Nice time was had by all.Take care mate.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Sheena.

[@kevdimo6459]

I used to do a fair bit of Seagull Kite fishing in Batemans Bay when I lived there. I’d use half pilchards from the banks of the Clyde River, in shallow water for Flathead. The pesky Seagulls would spot the bait and dive in and hook or tangle themselves. Easy to remove and release. Another quality video Robbie thank you mate. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Kev. Haha crazy seagulls. LOL 😂😂

[@robertcotton9091]

Great to watch as always Mate, thanks for sharing and enjoying my Sunday watching your updates :)

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Rob. 👍👍👍

[@TobysfishingNoutdoors]

Put ya “finger in his thumb” 😂😂😂😂 gee Robbie, I absolutely love you! The fight woulda really been on if the seagull stayed on 😂😂 Awesome work with the fishing though! By the end of the day you caught a fair few! Sorry I’m late,. Keep up the amazing work! Tight lines bro! 🇦🇺🤙🎣🇦🇺🤙🎣

Hahaha thanks so much mate. I'm a cha.pion at tripping over my thumb. LOL 🤣🤣

[@jeffwood4620]

Enjoyed your video Mate. Reminds me so much of my younger days catching heaps of small Redfin in the Murray River in Mildura.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Jeff. It was the same on the Ovens River here in Wangaratta when I was a kid. It's amazing how things change.

[@lightningsfishingadventures]

That shad looks alright! 🙂 seagulls are a pain for that! I caught 2 last summer accidently and a duck hahaha. Great video 😁🎣

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks mate. That's the first time I have ever hooked a seagull like that. 🤣🤣

[@jbgrant7250]

Nice tour Robbie. Thanks buddy

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks for watching mate. 👍👍

[@stavio12]

True about trout fishing being horrendous so far, going to head up owards Bright and try at Ovens and Kiewa rivers in October. Hopefully the luck changes by then.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. Let's hope things can turn around for the better. There's a lot of frustrated trout anglers around at the moment..

[@peterhipwell4632]

Went to the basin last week not to fish to show a mate around we went via Tatura Murchison Rushworth he didn’t realise how big it was it’s an amazing place It’s good to do tours and find different places

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Pete. I love these types of days exploring. The Waranga Basin is enormous isn't it. I love the place.

[@stevenelliott155]

G'day Robbie. You're in my neck of the woods I see. I reckon another 5 or 10 degrees in water temperature will fire things up a bit. And I'm hoping the multitude of small reddies I caught at the Basin last season will have grown a bit. I bet you couldn't hit that seagull again if you tried. Another great sunset.

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks mate, I definitely couldn't. LOL I agree about the water temperatures. Bring on some warmer weather.

[@robhunter7236]

Busy day. Even snuck in some "Fly" fishing with that Seagull 🤣

[@robbiefishing]

Hahaha that's funny. LOL

[@robbiefishing]

WOW That's awesome, well done.

[@buster_1972]

Took the grandson camping up in the Mallee. Went fishing at Lake Lascelles-Hopetoun, Turkey Bottom lake in Yaapeet and on the way home back to Geelong, dropped in the Wimera River. Caught nothing. Used worm's, corn, soft plastics and lures.

[@robbiefishing]

WOW mate, that's the way it goes sometimes. I have fished Lake Lascelles and absolutely love that area.

[@buster_1972]

@@robbiefishing I know that's the way it goes sometimes, but try telling it to an 8 year old 😂. When he was getting bored, he wanted lures. Then there was the bird's nest he was making with the fishing line 🫣. You were talking about the smell of those ducks, imagine if they stopped duck shooting. How bad would our water ways be then.

[@cointector]

Robbie mate nothing better than driving around exploring our country. Ps only you could hook a gull mid flight haaaa . Pss no seagulls were injured while filming this video 😂

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks Camels. Get on Seagull. LOL 🤣🤣🤣

Hi mate, I spoke to Rohan last week. He is going well thanks. He's just been very busy. 👍

[@fredscheerle7592]

Unfortunately Sept is the Windiest Month of the Year, and I still havent been out Fishing, You can get up at 6am and it's wind still but by 9am it's blowing a gale ! You mentioned Set Lines, A couple Years Ago I came across the Worst example of, seam to be Holiday makers, Campers, I spent at least 1 1/2 hour removing the 100Lb line mono and Braid, but I got a s--- load of sinkers and hooks, should have taken to the Dept.

Great adventure mate, is it worth putting a kayak on greens lake when it warms up???

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. It sure is, but make sure you find a day that isn't too windy.

[@gregorycook6068]

Hi Robbie, enjoy your videos but would like to see you give some tech info like size of fish bag limits and name of the area of the creeks you use. Being new to Victorian fishing it would be a great help. Kind regards Greg Cook Wonthaggi

[@robbiefishing]

Hi Greg, thanks for your kind words and great suggestions.

[@akhector]

Word up Homie! Liked the insight into how the DJI camera detaches from the headband and the tip about the lower frame rate as conditions get darker.I would love to know what "relaxing tunes" you listened to on the way home! I am tipping Canibal Corpse or Pungent Stench 😂

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks Homie. I switched from GoPro to DJI a few years ago and have never looked back. You might be surprised to hear that I was listening to gospel music. Haha I still listen to a lot of metal, but I mix it up a lot with more positive times these days. LOL

[@hardyakka2461]

Those seagulls.... I'm pretty sure you said on another video that you can't get those French Tackle lures from tackle stores is that right Robbie? I would like to purchase some.

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, I'm not sure if they stock shops or not, but I don't think they do. Look up the website "french touch Tackle". That's where you will find them and you may be able to contact them and ask them directly.

[@Fish.adv7]

How is the fishing up there is it good. Can I get the soft plastic form bcf ?

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, BCF don't stock Strike Tiger soft plastics. There's a link in the video description to their website. You will find a list of stockists there, and there is an online store. 👍👍

[@Vincentdonnelly5158]

Wow that video was a road trip almost ending in a disaster trying to unhook an angry bird pecking at you. Lucky it gave you the slip on the slipway i could have said if you were on the slipway 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Haha thanks for tuning in Vincent. I really needed that road trip, I love these types of adventures.

[@Peter57808]

I will be passing north of you travelling to and then from lake Eucumbene with our boat in tow in November, any chance of catching up for a fish?

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, I would love to say yes, but I doubt that I will be able to. When I'm not fishing/filming k like to spend time with my daughter's. They have varied interests and I just love hanging out with them when I'm not filming. Sorry mate, I hope you understand. 🙏

[@lenlemaic7849]

Hey Robbie, did you get a call from Wongaratta police station? Apparently, a disgruntled seagull dropped in to press charges against some careless fisherman who ruffled his feathers. 😂

[@robbiefishing]

Hahaha crazy seagull.

[@Lukey_Cooper]

I thought you had to kill Redfin not put them back? That’s the law in NSW

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, that is just a myth started by greenies. It's not illegal in Victoria OR NSW to release redfin. In both states you are allowed to release them back into the water in which you caught them. It IS illegal to be in possession of live redfin though. You've either got to kill it, or release it. You can't keep it alive in a bucket.

[@krissteel4074]

Thumbs, fingers, mouth and a sharp object is only a worry if you're a doctor :)

[@robbiefishing]

Haha very true.

[@keyboardoracle1044]

Are red fin evolving to be less red finned? They seem greyer and less green too.
