Trout Opening 2024 - Goulburn River

[@vassilylucashenko]

I love those little brownies. Caught my first one at Gilmore bridge last year on a Daiwa double clutch Spotted Dog,

[@HawkesyFishing]

Nice mate! My first fish on a lure was out of the Goulburn near breakaway Bridge. Very special river

[@vassilylucashenko]

Geez, great video mate. I've gotta get myself up there quick smart.

[@yep.fishing]

What a session, awesome

[@HawkesyFishing]

Thanks mate, well exceeded any expectations we had for the day

[@1968krug]

Enjoy your footage thanks for sharing, do you think many of these fish are released from Eildon lake as the water's released?

[@HawkesyFishing]

I don't think any are from the lake, if there is it would be a fairly small number. The river itself has received fingerling stocking in the past and gets pretty strong recruitment each year from the tributaries

[@lachiefishing3128]

What stretch of the river is that? Nice video mate

[@j.m8135]

What area do you perfer to launch the kayak from on the Goulburn with the access?

[@HawkesyFishing]

I've only done it twice so don't really have any preferences yet. There's heaps of ramps on it not far from eildon

[@EthanEllul]

Awesome session mate! I'm wondering how you go about launching and retrieving the kayaks? Seemed to be a fair bit of flow in some sections. Do you pedal back upstream or use two cars?

[@HawkesyFishing]

Thanks mate! This trip we used two cars and drifted between them but you can return to the one car at some levels. I prefer going up first when I do this so I don't go down something I can't get back up

8:25 smoked that lure

[@HawkesyFishing]

Havent seen too many trout get it in head first the way that one did!

Dark dirty water try black lures. Nothing silhouettes better then black
