This is an Australian eagle ray that I hooked up with out in Port Phillip Bay, they can really fly when they want to and it took some effort to get it close enough to the boat to unhook it.
187 5 o’clock in the morning
The only advantage of early morning fishing trips….
GONE FISHING
The fish start biting about the same time as the mosquitos…..
Lake Mulwala
lake Mulwala is a man made lake that has many dead trees, perfect habitat for the mighty Murray cod.
WAITING
Waiting for some action…
FRANTIC PELICAN PARADE
The lonely lookout on the lamp post sends a signal to the gathering crowd, fishermen start cleaning their catch and everyone moves in for the scraps, I can almost hear them saying “mine, mine, mine, mine….”
FISH
Yesterday Max caught a new species to add to his list – a 70cm snook caught on a soft plastic lure known curiously as ‘the nuclear chicken’, strange what fish find attractive…
RAINBOW FOOD
Rainbow trout caught in the Ovens River, before and after….
FLUORESCENT
Just a few fluorescent lures to try out on the next big fishing trip, it seems you can never have too many and the more colourful the better.
Catch of the day…..
Thrown back in to bring a smile to another young angler.
