Awesome work mate! Spot looks superb if only i lived closer to it!!!!
Thanks, it sure is a great spot. Are there any other good spots around your area ??
Awesome Video Mate! Keep up the good work. And I hope to see more great content like this in the future. 👍🎣
Thanks for such a positive comment, Plenty of new and good content is on the way, So stay tuned.
Great video mate. Those reddies love those plastics by the look of it.
Thanks Darren, They sure do. When you find them it gets pretty crazy.
Great Vid Alan....Thanks
Thanks David, glad you enjoyed it !!
Redfin are awesome and so is Lake Daylesford
Only 90 minutes from Melbourne too
Great session on the yak, great spot to spend some time wetting a line. I got a 40cm reddie this morning from the pontoon
Wow, thats fantastic. Well done. There really are some good size reddies in there among many small ones.
I wish we had places like that. Looks amazing there.
Thanks, yeah it sure is a beautiful location. Thanks for the comment.
very nice video buddy. lots of nice fish. the jig was killing it.
Thanks heaps, Yeah both the spinners and soft plastics were on fire
that was pure fun
Thanks !!!
Went fishing there as a kid awsome place
It sure is an awesome place, so scenic and some great fishing. Thanks for the comment
Great session mate well done
Thanks Jaron !!! Much appreciated...
Great looking spot Alan, and not too far from me. You wound up with a decent haul of Reddies, some nice ones mixed in with the smaller ones.
Thanks Paul !! Yeah it sure is a lovely place there and your right some OK size reddies among many small ones. I have caught some decent sized ones there over the years so I know there are some bigger models in there.
Shit hot session mate, thats a hidden little gem that spot. Never even heard of it.
Thanks Steve, its a ripping location. So scenic and the fishing there is really great. Lots of small fish and the odd thumper. A mate of mine caught a 45cm reddie there a few years back. im keen to get back there as i just enjoyed it so much.
Great fishing man 👊
Thanks !! Much appriciated
Great video. Time to do a catch and cook redfin
A very good idea. A future vid im sure..
Its a nice area, got my brute 40cm redfin there 2 years ago on a little paddle tail grub.
Its a beautiful spot, either walking or on a kayak. I know there are some thumpers in there too, just gotta get through all those little ones.
Nice video mate
Glad you enjoyed it
HIII I live in Daylesford and I think its amazing that your going out and staying well !!!!!
Thank you Rose !!
@@fishingmadwhere doing some catch and cook at Daylesford lake looking to catch a few trout what size hooks?? 1/0 3/0 2/0?? we have all of them and do u recommend floaters? where using the same bait like that floppy fake worm. any tips??
Watch this vid it shows how I generally rig up when bait fishing for trout ua-cam.com/video/jRoJDiZG41c/v-deo.html size 6 hook, small running sinker to a hook, then 50cm leader. Works great for worms and powerboat. Hope that helps
@@fishingmad thanks helps a lot
glad to hear it. Good luck out there
You should go fishing in the Glenelg River!
If you want to👍
Great vid🔥🔥🔥
Yeah would love to go fishing in the Glenelg river. I need to organise a small trip up there soon for sure.
fishingmad 😀👍
I just drenched my clothes and basically almost drowned here in my waders rescuing a bird with a lure through it’s foot. Feel like a superhero lol. Would do it again too. Maybe without waders though
Its awesome when we can see the others following while we're hooking one.
Where did you park/launch?
Thought the main car park does not have space for trailers.
Hi Sebastian, it sure is awesome when you see other redfin following the lures. Such a great site. Just to the left of the main car park is a dirt road and I was able to back my trailer there without causing any disturbance. Launching was a little awkward either having to walk a couple of minutes to the launching platform or dropping the yak in from the grass which has a couple of foot drop. Might be one to test mid week first as it gets might busy there on weekends. Hope that helps.
can you fish in that lake with a 12 foot tiny , love your show
Thanks Toni, I dont believe boats are allowed in that system only land based and non powered vessels.
Your video stimulated me!! It is a fishing channel in Korea. I will visit you often! Let's be friends!🐟🐳🐠❤️❤️🐳🐠❤️❤️
Fantastic, thanks a lot for the positive comment. ill need to check out your content too. Thanks
This is what known in our UK fresh water PERCH. Nice session mate. What other species do you have there?
Yeah sure is, other countries refer to them as English perch, locally everyone calls them reddies or redfin even though there proper name is English perch. Thanks heaps for your comment.
Thanks for the videos. Have you thought about doing one on the fish finder and how to read the screen correctly? Cheers
Funny enough im working on a video on that at the moment, just putting the finishing touches on but waiting for my new sounder to be fitted on the kayak. Stay tuned should have more on that soon.
Hi Alan, love the video, great content as usual!
If you don't mind me asking what type of finesse rod you are using?
Thanks !! This was a Savage Gear Finezze 2-4kg rod, was a brilliant rod but they have been discontinued. these days I'm usually using a Millers twitch freak or Daiwa TD Commander for the finesse stuff.
👍
Thanks !!
Awesome video mate, are there easy to launch spots for the yak ?
Launching was a little tricky there, I parked opposite the man car park as i didn't want to take up 2 spots with the trailer. When I got my yak down to the water i noticed about a 2 or 3 foot drop from the bank to the water. I had someone help me lower the kayak in the water. later I found a really nice access spot a little further down. Turn left at the main entrance and walk about 50 meters and its there. Just requires a little more walking with the kayak. Hope that helps.
fishingmad to easy Thanks for that appreciate it
No worries, hope it helps
You should fish in Williamstown
I often do, here is a vid i did there last year ua-cam.com/video/CRhirud6Cqg/v-deo.html
Does land based fishing do the job at Daylesford, as I went there last week and came empty .
Yes you can catch plenty land based but its tough going at the moment with the cold water temperatures. Try again towards summer land based and you will catch plenty.
fishingmad Thanks mate
no worries
Have you every fished Pyke's Creek in your Kayak?
Yes, also did very well on redfin, a rainbow trout and caught a couple of massive carp. You do get a lot of jet skis at Pykes so thats the only thing to be careful off.
What's it like land based there? Unfortunately I don't yet have a kayak.
Its also a very good spot for land base fishing. There is a walking track that goes around the whole lake with scattered jetties. I used to walk around the lake and stop at random spots and flick lures. Caught many redfin doing this. its also a beautiful walk. I hope that helps.
@@fishingmad that's great. Sounds like the perfect place for me and the Mrs to go.
Its a top spot. I take the family often and they enjoy walking around, often whilst im flicking lures. LOL.
Hi I’m from daylesford
Cool, Lucky you, Daylesford is a beautiful location.
fishingmad yea good video didn’t know there were fish in the lake
Thank you, yeah its full of redfin. You can see many of them when walking around the lake, just watch the edges closely. In winter it has a good volume of trout aswell. Beautiful place, ill be back soon.
just a heads up, if you lip grip a fish you shouldn't hold them horizontal unless you are supporting the belly. it can damage them,
Thanks will do
@@fishingmad always really great content. Thank you
No worries, thanks for feedback too !!
@@fishingmad i met a humble man on the internet. Amazing
Yeah release the reddies off camera mate 👌
Thanks Rick, its a fair point. Its actually not illegal to return them in many lakes and rivers in Victoria. We kept our fair share and returned our fair share.
Yep just frowned upon, I release every reddie I catch as I don’t eat them, and it’s great for the kids to catch lol
Very good !!
Do you fish wombat dam
Yes, ive caught some cracking fish at wombat dam. Caught a massive brown trout there a few years ago. Its a beautiful spot and less crowded. Do you fish there aswell ??
fishingmad yep I have but I only really catch the odd reddy sometimes but I always see rainbow trout in the shallow water
I caught a big trout and redfin near the dam wall a while back. Some on worms and some on lures. Its a beautiful spot there worth persisting with.
fishingmad I’m heading there in the winter once they stock it up I’m pretty sure the put a few thousand of each rainbow and brown trout
fishingmad Also if you wanted to update your website spavin lake recently received 1000 Murray cod fingerlings
soon i will upload fishing using rod and reels,, I am also a fishing channel here in the Philippines, can we be friends?thank you so much.
Sure thing. thanks
@@fishingmad thanks sir.
no worries, glad to check it out.
Fisheries and Wildlife say you are not meant to put redfin back.
they say they don't want u too but it is up to u. read before u talk m8
@@scrubs4143 and I said, "you are not meant to". So read before you talk. And go and do some work for a change.
Like the visual part of your clip , call me old fashioned if you like but can’t stand your use of the word “guys” , we’re aussies not yanks
What are you doing they encourage you not to return redfin back in the water they a pest and bloody good eating.
There is only a few waters in Vic where its illegal to return redfin. Im a big advocate for following the rules and guidelines and understand in many other states its illegal or encouraged not to return them. In this lake and most around the area its completely optional whether you keep or return to the water. I did a bit of both kept some for my mate and also returned some.
