North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

G'day guys. I've been browsing on here for sometime now and thought i'd better add something to this great forum.
I'm Victorian born and bred. I fish the top end at least once a year. And fish the summers down here for all our freshwater species. I only reall fish the spring/summer seasons, because i do a lot of deer hunting during the autumn/winter time..

Anyway, here's a few yellowbelly we've been getting in the local dams, Eildon and Hume. I live 10 min from lake Hume, and with it sitting on 99.5% for the last few weeks, the fishing has been out of sight.. Eildon is around 75-80% and the yellas have been going off there, and are of a bigger size than Hume.

Hume yellas..





And some Eildon pigs..

Few more from Eildon. All on the cast, using Jackall LCB's... Cool fun when they're schooling. You get a speedy run after an impressive strike on light tackle..


When they're schooling, its not uncommon to get a couple in the net at once as they chase each other to the boat..

Hope you enjoy the pics. I'm off to Eildon now for a couple of days to fish the rising water levels. Hopefully this warmer weather fires them back up, with the off chance of hooking a decent cod as a bycatch now the season is open..

Mazza, Great pics good to see some fishing action from down south. Keep the pics coming. Should be good down that way with all the water around.

Great photos, nice looking yellas. Those jackells are killing the pig in the lakes down that way now, keep tha post coming

Top photies and fish used to spend alot of time up around Bonniedoon chasing trout and reddies many moons ago,
(would have been a legend back then pulling yella's like them)
good to see some water back in there

Geez, some nice yellas there, great photo of two in the net

Top yella's there Mazza, good to see the dams with some water in them again.

Cheers Bullet

Nice work Mazza!

Still catching any round Bowna rock area or I guess it's disappeared now

Cheers

Don't know of Bowna rock. Only been in Wodonga for around 4 years, so not really a local yet.. The one tree island is just that again, an island!!

Pulled a blank at Eildon last night/this morning. Got a bit lumpy out there this morning ahead of the change, so put my tail between my legs and ran..

Grt fish Mazza.

Pembo from Nathalia here the dams weirs rivers around here very ordinary too cold too dirty etc.
Might have to come over to the Hume??
Nillacooti near Benalla should start soon as the water warms a bit last year we got some grt yellas to 6kg (to big to eat)
Hopefully Mulwalaha will start soon to.

Cheers
