Trolling for yellowbelly and redfin at Lake Eildon from my kayak

[@Urbanfisho]

You did well old mate!

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks UF.

[@stevo3644]

I have had many good sessions up at Lake Eildon catching reddies & yellas. The yellas always hit hard and will wrap you around a snag if they get the chance and the reddies are the best eating fish of them all. Great video mate :)

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much mate. It's a wonderful lake.

[@glenbaker4024]

G’day mate. There’s not much I like to see more in your videos than you actually taking home a feed. I bet your old man was stoked. Cheers

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Glen, he sure was mate. They were the perfect eating size for yellas.

[@brentonclarke]

Nice feed of yellas Robbie. Getting out and about exploring new fishing spots is all part of the adventure and in many ways more rewarding when you find a new fishing spot

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate, I agree. I love exploring and discovering new spots. Well, new spots to me anyway.

[@andrewelliott9228]

I love your relaxed & fun attitude towards fishing. It looks so relaxing when you are out fishing in your kayak. Well done mate.

Well done Robbie, a great feed for you and your Dad. Ps, I'm glad you got your trolling and trawling sorted out, so many you tubers say they are trawling when they're actually trolling.

[@Urbanfisho]

Including the trolls!

[@robbiefishing]

Great spot to fish Robbie I've caught a lot of fish in Eildon ,Brown Trout, Rainbows ,Carp, Cod ,Reddies , Maccas ,Roach and a lot of big Yabbies ,mind you that is over a 60 plus year period ,I have also fished pretty much every River and Creek that flows into it .Keep up the great vids mate.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Rod. WOW, I'm guessing this is your "Home Ground"? Mine is Lake William Hovell. I know that lake backwards, but I've only ever fished in 2 or 3 different places at Lake Eildon.

[@Chucky-b7v]

G’day Robbie, love your video, mate. Nice little Yellowbelly, first up 👍🏼. I read today that there is a new worm infecting freshwater fish in NSW. Hopefully they won’t spread, apparently they can make you very sick if the fish isn’t cooked well?

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Wayne. WOW, I will have to keep on the lookout for that. Thanks for the heads up mate.

Good yella Robbie top work. Those rods and reels you use may I ask what rod and reels they are please? bait caster rods and reels are pricey for good quality , I'm thinking of quoting up and deciding but your help would be appreciated. I'll research too😊.

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, I have links to everything that I used in the video description. That rod is an absolute ripper, I love it. Sadly they are no longer made. It is a Rex Hunt Black Label rod. I bought it at Kmart in Wangaratta back in the 1990's, back when Kmart had good quality fishing gear.

i've tried trolling on my kayak b4 and man i gotta say its so much better than trolling on a boat: less noise and u can troll easily in shallow waters in silences on the kayak. wat was that device at 10:42?

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. That was my DJI battery charger. It holds 3 batteries, and I plug it in and it charges all 3 batteries at once. The DJI charger was in my GoPro box. Surely that is sacrilege? LOL I agree on trolling from the kayak. You can go so much slower than trolling behind a petrol motor.

[@bc4938]

Hi Robbie, thanks for your videos, I enjoy watching them, I also enjoy the fact that you do basic simple fish any that almost any one can replicate and don’t use all the latest rods reals and gismos like fishfinders etc. I’m from Melbourne and am spending a week up the King valley (staying just out of Cheshunt) in about 3 weeks time to fish lake William Hovel and the local creeks and rivers which I like to do each year about this time, but this year I want to try and take my kayak out on lake Buffalo which I have only tried once before with no success, any tips on where on the lake to try or what to use, I’m happy to target anything that is likely to bite this time of year

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate thanks for your kind words. I love Lake William Hovell and hope to get up there soon. Lake Buffalo is definitely the better lake though. More and bigger redfin as well as Murray cod. I find the steep banks with snags are the best for cod and the grassy flats are best for redfin.
