victoria Fishing in Melbourne

[Do$tylz]

G'day all,

So down here in the city-of-four-seasons-in-1-day with AFO member/lurker RooAvery and my brother (Danny) for work. Got work done today by about 1pm, beers and lunch done by 3, so it was time to go fishing

Hit the Yarra a short walk away from the hotel. Walked through the botanic gardens to get to the river bank and rigged up at the bank. The first 30 minutes were a little uneventful, I had a tt-switchblade, RooAvery on placcies (some sort of hollow belly)and Danny on a 3" squidgie wriggler in blood red. Danny and RA stayed at one spot while I kept walking an extra 100m. I hear a "henry!!!" and Danny's got a fish up and is taking a pic. Awesome

I keep casting for a bit and then make my way back to find out he'd caught another but it fell back in before he could get a pic. Apparently that one was around 30cm.

I tie on an sx-40 after hearing that both fish have been caught hard up against the rocks. So a couple of casts parallel to the bank later, boom Got this baby :silly:

didnt have a brag mat or a measuring tape... so this is the best indication I could get of how big it really was.

It was huge definately a PB.

Cracker! PB's caught out of state don't count though

[Do$tylz]

Cheers all

Angus - yeah I should get some in.. I'll only have 4-5 hours of light while I'm there to fish. I'm basically in and out for work.

Rocket - i reckon it counts more than fish without pics
