Winter Fishing Success: Redfin and Trout

Big winter Redfin, otherwise known as Perch were the target species, and trout were the welcome by-catch. It was great to catch both redfin and trout on lures, and was well worth getting cold hands for on such a glorious day in winter.

Hi Robbie. You are so blessed to be able to spend a day out with your Dad. Treasure it. My father passed away 5 years ago and I still miss him. Enjoy the redfin. Kind regards MP

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much mate, I am so thankful for every opportunity.

[@TheThetechnician]

I miss my old man, this warms my heart mate

[@robbiefishing]

Thank you so much mate. 🙏👍

In a crazy mixed up world at times your videos keep alot of us sane

[@kevdimo6459]

Way to go Robbie, and as a lot of your fans say it’s great to have the thrice yearly cameo of your Dad! It brings back memories for all of us, good memories! 👍🏼

[@robbiefishing]

Thank you so much Kev. He's certainly a ripper of a bloke.

[@baileyblackstock918]

@@robbiefishing Hi Robbie this morning a truck full of old brood stock browns left from Snobs creek hatchery in eildon. If you want to catch an absolute monster, or at least try take a tub of worms and head for lake sambell in beechworth or the Stanley ditch dam. Anyway thanks Robbie for the video have a good one.

[@pattyronni5806]

Gday Robbie, We were there last weekend and had the same friendly bird. He followed us everywhere, My kids named him Tubby. He actually answers back to your bird calls. What a beautiful day you had with your dad!

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much mate. Haha I can see where he got the name Funny from, he looks pretty well fed. LOL 😅😅

[@jeffbaade8480]

Lovely to see your dad on film 👍

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Jeff. We had a ripper morning.

[@Mark-ew5jm]

Love the opening conversation on the boat when your Dad said he might chase some rabbits later….I still enjoy the old “slow cooked” rabbit and am fortunate of having a son in law who hunts and ensures I am kept in venison and “underground mutton”….great session again Robbie.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Mark. Dad still loves his shooting, especially rabbits. Haha

Great to see father and son at its finest fishing in my favourite place. Weather the fishing is red hot or not enjoy your time with your old man buddy

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much mate. It was good when we filmed this last week, but completely dead yesterday. LOL

I was up there today and got nothing as well not even a single bite. It didn't both me at all had my son with me and that was good enough

Always great seeing your dad. He's a professional. A lovely man. That bird at the start i think you found a friend. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 loved your video. Great watch. Quality is right.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Vincent. Haha that magpie sure was super friendly.

[@vincecotton127]

Any days fishing with your Old Man is a great days fishing. My Old Man is 82 and taught me most of my fishing skills... On good days I cam take him out to wet a line. Do it whilst you can Robbie....My Old Man slowed down very quickly from what he was. Now I take him fishing.......and help him out. Still great times though.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Vince. I'm hearing you loud and clear mate. I'm so glad you can still fish with your old man.

[@sheenamoore3938]

Great day out with your Dad.I used to fly fish but cant anymore. Really miss it.Loved the friendly bird too. Keep well from the UK.

[@robbiefishing]

Thank you so much. I enjoy fly fishing but I'm certainly not an expert.

[@siquinnell6068]

Nice one mate, good to see you and your dad fishing, I lost my life long fishing mate 5 years ago and I wish I could go back in time and get back all the hours I wasted on other things that I thought were more important than spending time with my dad simply fishing

Good entertainment once again Robbie. I still enjoy seeing fish caught, even if they are thrown back. Love the Magpie at the start. It was a very young bird as it still did not have ‘jet black’ feathers. Unusual for a young bird without life’s experience to be so tame.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Jeff, that magpie certainly is a beauty.

[@peterhipwell4632]

Wow love that magpie I reckon he was a juvenile Quality over quantity is better than no keepers Love the silhouette of the trout excellent photography love it and the photos at the end

[@Tobysfishingandoutdoors]

@@robbiefishing I really wanna get a trout…. I’ve never got one before

[@pressb]

Old mate The Ginger Fisherman figured out how to get a signal back from his GoPro underwater live (using some co-ax and duct tape) so he could watch the action at his bait as it happens.

[@robbiefishing]

Haha how awesome is that. There's a company here in Australia that sells products for that but it's very expensive.

[@jeetts59]

Great video once again. Have you thought of using players to remove the hooks, saves your fingers

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate, I do use them for larger lures when I'm cod fishing but have never worried about it with this type of fishing. I probably should though.

[@BruceCrotty-mf1kx]

Hi Robbie, looks like it was a nice day to be on the water, and a nice reddy too. I watch a lot of KZbin (probably too much) and have noticed unlike most you tubers you don’t ask for a like and a subscribe during your videos, is there a reason for that.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Bruce. It was a magnificent day. Occasionally I will ask at the end of the video, but not often. I think that most people know by now how to subscribe to channels they like. Also, the way KZbin works it recommends videos to people that watch them anyway. So even people that don't subscribe, if they watch my videos they will just get them served up anyway. Haha
