Trout Opening 2023 Awesome Trout Fishing In Mint Creek

Trout opening 2023, it took me a little while to find the fish, but once I did I had great trout fishing catching quite a few trout of varying size. It took me a while to crack the code, but once I did it was worth it.

I haven't been diagnosed, but I'm getting a lot of pain in the joints in the fingers of my right hand. Been there all winter and hasn't gotten any better. I suspect it is arthritis.

Love this video Robbie as you never give up. It’s important to move to new spots and to change lures. Don’t worry about second hand water when you have first class Robbie. You show case how to be positive and to keep going. You landed so many great fish 🎣 a 0:10 0:10 nd the fact that you catch and release that you learnt from Rex Hunt as you idolise him it pays off. Great believer in fate if your a good person as you are things always work out. Bravo Robbie 👏👍👌😎

Moral to story check and do spring cleaning why shit that lock on bait junkie JIG heads are rippers on the sewing needles last 3 days 297 bream best 470mm22 jacks best 492mm. The old gear is now new.😂

[@ryanfarrugia172]

You should get a small net to bring in a back pack or something so you don't drop so many fish as your pulling them out of the water

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. They drive me mad carrying them around, and then the hooks get tangled in them. LOL If I was worried about losing any of these fish I wouldn't have just lifted them up. I would have left them in the water and taken my time with them like I did the first one.

[@ryanfarrugia172]

​@@robbiefishing👍

[@markseers8587]

What happens to the fish if it takes the plastic off the jig and ingests it?

[@robbiefishing]

I would imagine it would regurgitate it. If not, it's stomach acids will break it down.

Hi mate.

Nothing wrong to be old and soft but we're only soft on the outside mate were still as hard as nails on the inside

[@robbiefishing]

Spot on Jeff, I agree 100%.

[@ynots0625]

why do you need the nail polish on the crucis? they are no longer available here have to get them from NZ i wanted the 7”

[@robbiefishing]

Oh WOW, I did not know that. It's because the join in the middle has worn out. It just makes it a firmer fit..

[@dadbod7636]

Not sure if your keen but you can actually turn your 2 pc rod into 1 pc with a clear silicone. Trade secrets mate! Lol

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks for the tip mate. I use nail polish. It's really firm at first but then it fits well for 12 months before wearing thin again. Someone else has suggested that I use Bees wax.

[@dadbod7636]

Robbie: im too old to go fishing. Also Robbie: im too old for this twigs( "how am i gonna get down there?""...) Still Robbie: smashing a stonker and elaborates how he old he is off the path he's been through. Mate your not fooling us anymore!

Hahahaha thanks mate. They say the camera puts on 10lb. I'm my case on puts on about 90lb. 🤣🤣🤣

[@rodgeorge7244]

Great opening vid Robbie way back in the mists of time Trout opening was a great social event then they made it all year round and it was crap then they made it seasonal again but it wasn't the same the magic was gone so I don't bother anymore .

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Rod. I remember when there was no closed season and it was open slather. They will do it again one day. The more power the greenies get the less restrictions there will be around trout fishing.

[@ryanfarrugia172]

Hey Robbie, we're thinking about going fishing in the Thornton stretch of the Goulburn River for trout. Do you often fish there and what are your thoughts on it?

[@chriscoyne4827]

That really gets a flogging up there good luck buddy

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, it's a beautiful stretch of river but it does see a lot of fishing pressure. I haven't fished there for probably 15 years or so but I know there are a lot of fish there.

[@ryanfarrugia172]

​@robbiefishing thanks for the advice, I fished there a while ago and caught nothing but my dad wants to go, I'd much rather go somewhere like lake buffalo but my dad is set that there's big trout in there😂. Have you ever fished the 3 Kyenton lakes, they don't suffer heaps of fishing pressure and have quality trout along with a few murray cod in one of the 3 lakes called Upper Coliban. It is a bit hard to fish at first but once you find a few spots it's really fun. Might be worth a fish🎣.

[@Michael_Lane_Fishing]

Great to see you out on the trout fishing Robbie. Those tight little streams are cool.
