Redfin Fishing In The Corop Lakes And Waranga Basin: Redfin Perch Overload

I LOVE the fact that there is water in the Corop Lakes. In this video I visit the two large public lakes (Greens Lake And Lake Cooper) and fish for redfin (Perch) before fishing an irrigation channel on my way to finish my day fishing at the Waranga Basin.
FYI The Corop Lake is made up by two large public lakes, Greens Lake and Lake Cooper. There are also a number of smaller lakes including Lake Stewart which is on private land and a few unnamed small natural lakes on private property.

Those hares cracked me up lol. Thanks for the kind words mate, it was great catching up with you as well. You did really well getting a few to keep for a feed! Well done

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. Haha those stupid hares couldn't even see me. LOL 😅😅😅

[@captainfrank01]

Robbie and Rohan fishing together again - the A team!

[@peterhipwell4632]

Thanks for explaining the rules on Redfin Good to see Rohan again Redfin Excellent session

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Pete. Gee I love fishing those lakes, especially the Waranga Basin. I just really enjoy this type of fishing at the end of a hot day.

[@xaj1543]

Geez Robbie, you gave me heart failure, when you said take a picture of my monster, I thought you were still talking about being called a bell end! 😳 😂😂

[@robbiefishing]

Hahahaha I'm so proud of myself for being called a bell end. LOL I've never heard of that saying before. LOL

[@xaj1543]

@@robbiefishing It’s just dawned on me that if you did take that photo I was referring to and you were in waist deep water, it would make for some very interesting under water release footage!😳 😂😂😂

[@Troffy21]

Raced to the comments after hearing that and thinking the same! Sensational

[@robbiefishing]

@Troffy21 hahaha have you ever heard that word before? I had to look it up. LOL

[@Troffy21]

@@robbiefishing sure have mate! I use it often with a mate of mine. It’s a popular and hilarious British insult that adopts nicely here 😆

[@TobysfishingNoutdoors]

Bloody hell robbie, the reddies were going nuts! Awesome work as always, greens lake has always produced when we’ve gone they’re! Keep up the awesome work as always! Tight lines bro! 🎣🤙🎣🤙

"hey meta take a photo of my monster" 😳😂

[@robbiefishing]

Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣

Got back from a walk and thought “wouldn’t it be nice to watch a Robbie vid?” And here it is

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks so much mate. It's a long one tonight.

[@TradingTheBias]

The Meta glasses take quite a nice photo.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. I'm very happy with them. 👍👍

[@leonhein997]

It's great to see a few red fin. A couple days after the Cod Classic we travelled to Lake Hume to try for red fin. It was sunny and hot, middle of the day, to me low water on those long shallow banks and no structure, we didn't fish. We're we wrong. Caught one red fin in the past twenty years

[@browntrout1156]

Great to see Rohan and great session too.

[@OVTraveller]

Hi Robbie, I used to fish the east Kiewa as a kid and would catch a couple of nice sized trout, but quite a few Redfin. The cleaned fish were steamed and the skin and bones discarded and fish meat mixed and made into patties....better than tuna patties anyday!

[@kevdimo6459]

Great video Robbie, different locations, and sized fish, and the Hares were a great laugh. I was a bit disappointed with some of the photos of the fish however, your thumb obscured them. 👍🏼👍🏼😂🤣

[@robbiefishing]

Hahaha thanks Kev. They certainly weren't monsters. LOL 😂😂😂

[@jimdobies7314]

Hey Robbie - Those Meta glasses will allow you to get the trout back in the water faster on hot summer days. Good on you!

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Jim, absolutely they will. The quicker they can get back in the better. 👍👍

[@cboss5629]

Great video!

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate.

[@Chucky-b7v]

G’day Robbie. Greens Lake has most certainly dropped a fair bit since you were there last time. That’s a few fish you caught while fishing there. Good video mate. Lol, we were only talking about those glasses today, Robbie 😂. G’day Rohan 👍🏼

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks mate. I'm certainly making good use of these glasses. LOL 😂

[@papeep2694]

Sometime you're breading fillets try corn meal in lieu of bread crumbs. Not quite as crunchy but a sweeter flavor. I alternate between bread crumbs and corn meal depending on my mood. Good stuff.

[@robbiefishing]

Awesome, thanks mate. I must try that.

[@alanpelosi2955]

Picture quality excellent on those glasses

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. I'm very happy with them.

[@krissteel4074]

All in all it was quite a fine trip out on the lakes

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate, it sure was a ripper of a day.

[@allon33]

Love the taste of Redfin.

[@robbiefishing]

Me too mate, they're beautiful eating fish.

[@robleary3353]

Small Redfin do tend to 'shoal'. Back in the late eighties at Jells Park I caught about thirty odd small Reddies on a small soft plastic roughly in the same area of structure!. Great fun!.😂

[@robbiefishing]

Absolutely they do mate. I've experienced that many times.

[@tangell481]

hi robbie n rowan cool meta camera was green lake the pizza lake im not sure but always a great video mate

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much mate. The Pizza lake? I'm not sure what you mean sorry.

[@robhunter7236]

Scared the pellets out of those Hares 🤣I don't mess with filleting and skinning Redfin. I much prefer to simply wrap the whole fish in foil and easily peel the skin off after cooking. Yes!, scales and all. Definitely a help with smaller models and I swear it tastes better that way.

[@ChrisWines]

Hey Robbie. Love your work. When you are retrieving a Strike Tiger Nymph or paddle tail, we always see the end of the rod and how you are twitching it. Just wondering what rate you are reeling it in whilst doing this? Is it possible to see some footage of how quick you are reeling it in as you are twitching the rod please? Thanks.

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, I like to try and reel it in as slowly as possible. I can go slower with smaller jigjeads, but then I lose casting distance. There's no real technique. I just reel it in as slowly as I can get away with and dance it around to make it look alive.

[@TheJimmyG91]

Jeez that is bloody low isn't it!? I don't know if you've made the trip over to Lake Hume lately but that's much the same, I think the last I checked it's sitting on around 50%, possibly even less😖

[@SASAKOVACIC-y6n]

Oh shit Robbie, I can't wait 4 u to put ya scone in the to see them swim off😅

[@robbiefishing]

Hahaha 🤣

[@Samsfishing1970]

Wow Robbie I've been waiting for a redfin video, do you know what state lake buffalo is in wondering whether it's worth going there in the boat

[@robbiefishing]

Hi Sam, I was out there last week mate. I was fishing off the bank. I caught about a dozen tiny redfin, nothing even close enough to keep.

[@StanthorpeGarbo]

Great Video Robbie 👍 Nice Redfin on the overload. Also Has my Letter arrived to you yet From Severnlea (Queensland)?

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. I've got 3 or 4 letter there to open this month. To be honest I'm not sure if any are from QLD. I will have a look when I get home later on..

[@glenbaker4024]

Great video mate. I had to lookup Bell End. Ohh dear……Too many jokes….. On a forum a kid might read. Here’s an original for you. When someone is being cranky or just having a go you can refer to them as having sand in their nappy. I said it (have you got sand in your nappy today?) to one of my clients recently and they nearly wet themselves; their complaints evaporated quickly.

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks Glen. I must remember that about the nappy. LOL Someone once said to me "Who pissed in your Weet bix this morning". LOL 🤣🤣🤣

[@Kay-Rayzie]

That second bunny didn't know which way was up for a second LoL Does putting the fish guts straight back into the water like that help attract the next fish, because it's basically burley?

[@robbiefishing]

I reckon it does. I catch a lot of fish near boat ramps and I reckon that might be why.

[@BruceCrotty-mf1kx]

Hi Robbie, thanks for that information on Redfin rules, but it still leaves the question can you release a Redfin that has a hook attached and might act as bait for a larger fish or does that count as being in possession of a live fish because you have it held by the line?

[@robbiefishing]

Hi Bruce, that's a question that I honestly don't know the answer to. I think you can, but I may be wrong. I wouldn't hesitate to do it myself, I just wouldn't film it. LOL 😅😅

[@alecedwards3456]

Hey Robbie what is the biggest lure you have used for callop it sounds like lake cooper was a little bit of a hurricane LOL that is usually lake nilacooty my bad if I spelled it wrong

[@robbiefishing]

Haha you're not wrong mate. Lake Nillahcootie is notorious for bowling winds. I've caught yellowbelly on full sized stumpumpers while targeting Murray cod.

[@ianshugg2681]

Do you think there would be any yabbies in that Chanel ?

[@robbiefishing]

Quite possibly mate.

[@stitch10123]

How would it go if you up sized the paddle tail?? What you think ??

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, I reckon I would catch less fish. I think that to find the larger ones I just need to be out deeper.

[@EdwardYang-wu7yq]

hey robbie, how long are your rods?

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, the rod that I was using in this video is 7 feet long.

[@PhillipWhite-uz3wu]

Or yeah, fancy some dill thinking there was a size limit on redfin. Laugh point! Laugh point!

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Phil. Yes mate, she was quite unwell there for a while.

[@robbiefishing]

Hahaha 🤣🤣 Last week I shared a photo on Facebook of a redfin that I caught. One person abused me for releasing it and another abused me for keeping it. It never stayed what I done with it. LOL 😂😂

I’ve wanted to ask this same question for a while as I’ve only recently started using soft plastics. Would love a short video from Robbie on the basics of soft plastics for us amateurs!

[@robbiefishing]

G'day mate, I try to reel it in as slowly as I possibly can. The lighter the jihjead, the slower I can retrieve it, but I lose casting distance. There's no real technique. Just reel it in as slowly as possible and try to make it look like it's alive.

[@ChrisWines]

Great Robbie. Thanks for that.
