Kayak fishing trolling and fishing with blades

- Although I caught a lot of fish on this trip, unfortunately the biggest catch was my plugger! I hooked it with my lure while releasing a small redfin.
Kayak fishing is a fantastic way to fish Lake WIlliam Hovell. It's relaxing, enjoyable and can be very productive at times.
Lake WIlliam Hovell is a tricky lake to fish. It is known for it's big population of small redfin, but there are some larger ones in there too if you are willing to persevere.

That's a pretty giant reddie you were talking about Robbie. My record is a kilo and a half caught way back in 1975 after the floods that year. Yeah, I am a bit long in the tooth!
haha I was born in 1975. LOL That is a huge reddies Phil. I have a feeling my 43.5cm redfin was 1.3kg or thereabouts.
@@robbiefishing I was 15 at the time.
You can't win em all mate. Enjoying the footage as always. I'm thinking about getting a kayak. Cheers mate 👍🤠
I was up there earlier this week when the rains hit, had the lake to myself and it looked fantastic.
That's awesome. It is so beautiful up there when it rains. Did you catch ant fish?
It was fantastic mate, I fell in love with the area haha. Got a few reddies near the wall, and a nice 60cm cod on the drive up the valley.
Good on you Robbie going out and Getting healthy. 👍👍
You know it's illegal to keep thong fish in the state of vic, good size tho I reckon that sea eagle would come back for it 😁
Hahahaha Dont tell anybody I kept it. LOL
From little things big things grow is mad.
Thong Finn nice work mate 👌 you are always good for a laugh love ya work mate 🤣🤣🤣
The Master Thong Fisherman …. genius : )
hahaha I am so good that I caught it without even trying. LOL
Such a bucket list destination mate. One day.
You would love it Gerry. I love sitting in my car, watching my rods when I am bait fishing from the bank in winter when the lake is full. It is very relaxing.
robbiefishing have to put it on the list for a session
Awesome work Robbie! They were some really small redfin but still awesome to catch. Looking forward to next video. 🙂👍🎣
Thanks so much mate.
Love your kayak fishing robbie keen to see more
Hi Archie thanks so much mate.
I enjoy watching your videos Robbie I went fishing today in freshwater and caught my first redfin now it's time to get a carp
WOW that's so awesome, well done mate.
Nice one Robbie👍👍👍 🎣
Thanks so much mate.
Great spot. Great watch
Just discovered your channel. Bloody awesome. Thanks for a great education. Cheers cobber
Hey mate loving your vids. Had an absolute ripper at hovel today got a 33cm reddie 2 Browns and 1 rainbow all around 28cm plus a heap of little reddie fish fingers haha, one of my best few hours on the lake, p.s the reddie was delicious
A nice trip there mate thumbs up 👍. I couldn’t hear much of it we have 10 people locked in here for isolation It’s great fun and the one that had tests isn’t even sick now 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Hey Cam, thanks heaps mate. I hope you're not isolated by coronavirus.
robbiefishing that’s what they’re testing for hahaha isolation sounded fun for first 2 minutes hahaha
Great video you caught a tong fish that reminds me of the time I fought a tree fish it was an amazing battle between the tree fish and me but then the tree fish one and took of with my hook
hahahaha I hope you wet your hands before handling it. LOL
Good fun though mate👍
Thanks mate, it sure was.
And good exercise.
Robbie I love your videos thankyou so much for every video you make, makes my day to see your awesome videos
Hi mate thank you so much for your fantastic feedback.
Great video Robbie love the kayak fishing videos!
You should try carp fishing with bait from your kayak.
Hey mate, thanks so much for your kind words and fantastic suggestion. I will definitely look into doing that.
Love the kayak videos robbie
Thanks so much Fiona.
How can a "see" Eagle have bad eyesight Robbie? 😊
On a serious note: Do you think that you could do a graphic with a map of where these lakes are that you are fishing in please? Us subscribers South of the Great Devide would appreciate it. Yeah, I know that I could Google it... but I think that it would be a great addition to your awesome videos. Cheers.
G'day Tim, thanks so much for the great suggestion mate. I am not very good with graphics, but I think that it would be a fantastic addition. I will have to look into it. Thanks mate.
@@robbiefishing Thanks Robbie 😊
Nicely done! Hmm you'll have to do a catch and cook on the thong! Haha! Off to the farm this long weekend, so should be wetting a line at some stage!!
Hahahaha probably taste better than most of my cooking Les. LOL
Better than the carp at least haha
How good is the murray 😉 good video mate. Keep u0 th3 good work
Thanks mate, I love mine. I agree about the hatches, I rarely use mine. Other than that they're an awesome fishing boat.
Nice session on the very small Reddies. I haven't seen you using your sounder for quite a while, is it still any good or not really practical? I was seriously considering the Deeper Chirp Plus fishfinder for my paddle kayak, I would like to hear your thoughts. Thank you for your time and experience.
G'day Garry, it's funny you should mention that. I was bushwalking with my wife today past a waterhole. It is very low, but we could see carp swimming around. I said to my wife "I need to know where the deepest parts are because that's where the fish will be". I then told her that if I get a chance to go out there soon I will take my Deeper Chirp+ to help me find the deeper spots.
That is how I tend to use it. I don't use it on every trip, but it is usually in my bag ready to be whipped out when I need it.
If I had never fished Lake WIlliam Hovell before I would absolutely have it with me, but because I know this lake like the back of my hand, I really have no need for a fish finder.
So yes I still have it, still love it, but tend to use it more in places that I am not familiar with to help familiarise myself. Does that make sense?
Great video mate so happy I got notification for a video on your other channel while watching this 😂
Edit: You can be in possession of live redfin if you have a permission from fisheries as I got permission now I have two little weenie reddies in my big tank haha
Thanks heaps mate, and yes you are spot on. If you get approval you can have them in your possession.
Hey Robbie I reccommend u getting a little water snake mount for your kayack just to put along
Thanks mate, that sounds great but I am trying to lose weight. LOL Paddling is much better exercise. haha
couldn't you keep those little one and make some fish fingers out of em Robbie? never caught or eaten one but I hear they are pretty good on the chew.. maybe a catch clean and cook...love ya vids mate
Hey Robbie how do you retrieve blades on a kayak?
Great session mate well done. Ill try that 1st lure in Geelong i reckon.
Thanks mate. Is that the Damiki Disco 38? Its an awesome really small lure.
@@robbiefishing yes it was. I'll definitely try some down in Geelong
geez that looks like fun! P.S if you'd like your blade, it landed in my backyard!
hahahaha Thanks Jed, I was wondering where that blade went. LOL
Another cool vid mate 👍 Hey, can you get Yello Bellys in there ? With all the dead wood up the top end of the lake it looks like good Yella territory.
Thanks Mark, nah mate no yellas in this lake. To be honest, I would be dead against seeing yellowbelly or cod stocked in there. There's heaps of lakes and river stocked with native fish already, it is great to have this spot with trout and redfin to go fishing. There was never yellowbelly occurring naturally in this area anyway as it is way too far upstream. There would have been Macquarie Perch and trout cod most likely.
They need to stock more Macquarie perch
About a foot long LMAO 😂
i went fishing and on a sign it had redfin underneth it said no bag limit and it said do not reales so you check your facts but your still my favoirit youtuber
Thanks mate, but believe me, I have my facts fully checked. Very very thoroughly, and it is NOT illegal to release redfin back into the water in which you caught them in Victoria.
@@robbiefishing fair enough robbie i dont care your still my favourite youtuber maybe i got it wrong but you dont know how happy i am when i found out you replied i was jumping like a kangooroo
@@michaeldoyle9176 LOL Thanks champ. I hope you're catching a few.
Robbie where did you purchase your waistbelt PDF mate?
Hi mate check out pfd1.com.au
Nice fishing mate my favourite place lake William hovel. Why Robbie just why throwing redfin back hahaha I just had to say that.
Hahahaha Its amazing how often I have to explain myself. LOL bloodu beautiful place for sure mate.
Bravo.
If you're catching tiny Redfin it's too late. They're already in there in their thousands. One more makes zero difference.
A lure that resembles those small Reddies might catch a better size fish.
I agree. We could catch all of the redfin in the lake, but as long as there's a handful left, the lake will be over populated again in no time.
Hey Robbie I went fishing tonight did not get and fish
Hey buddy, thats the way it goes sometimes mate.
Last video you caught bait and within a minute you caught a fish with that bait, this time you you caught your own flip flop..... your on a roll mate, buy a lotto ticket.
hahahaha I am a man of many talents mate. LOL This one was filmed last week, so the thong was first. I still have not even edited that full video of yesterdays yellowbelly session. LOL
@@robbiefishing loving it mate, yeah the question about dams is me.
I'm headed up there tomorrow so it was timely that this video popped up.
haha Awesome, good luck mate. Make sure you take a couple of very small lures. LOL The lake has risen 11% in the last few days. haha
It was my 2 year old's first time fishing from the canoe. You couldn't take the rod out of his hands.
Nice sole fish I'm guessing thats what its called didnt think youd get him in.
hahaha A sole (soul). haha We call them thongs, or pluggers. I think the British might call them flip flops. Oh hang on.... that might be the Americans. I am not sure that Britain's weather is conducive to wearing pluggers. LOL
😁
hi robbie are there any carp in this lake?
Hi mate, unfortunately yes.
Glad you wet your hands before handling that thong mate haha. Pity you only found tiny redfin this trip but I'm sure you will find a few monsters in there before the season is done
Thanks mate. I will be back up there very soon no doubt trying for a bigger one again. The lake has risen 11% in the last few days. LOL
@@robbiefishing That's incredible!
I am going fishing for big cod with surface lures should I get a baitcaster rod or try with my 5-10 kg spinner rod
If you can throw your lures good with the rod you've got dont bother with a new rod. You could have a 2-4 kg rod and throw a swimbait for big cod but you won't throw it productively so you'd be better off throwing a blade that you can't fish more successfully if you know what i mean
Hey buddy, I agree with what George said. If your current rod can cast the heavy lures OK then you may not need to hand over money for a new rod. Baitcaster rods are more accurate in tight places.
@@robbiefishing thanks for the tips
Hi mate, Shane again. How much line would you put out for a deep diver while drifting in a kyack with a slow to medium current in a decent size dam
G'day SHane, I am a bit confused because dams don't usually have current in them. The more line you let out the deeper the lure goes mate, to a degree. Once you let too much line out the lure will swim up shallow and it varies from lure to lure.
@@robbiefishing sorry about the lack of info, lake Wallace, wallerawang. It's basically a bloody big dam from the old power plant.
Hey Robby , just a weird question but could you ever livebait a small Redfin for something bigger , great vid
Thanks mate. You can, it does work, but i am unsure whether it is legal or not. I wouldnt be doing it without checking the rules.
@@robbiefishing I actually checked this one with fisheries a few months ago. Their answer was "Because redfin are not classified as a noxious species, and providing you are using it as live bait in the SAME waterway you caught it from, then yes you can do this. If the fish was alive and you transported it to another waterway, this would be illegal."
Could you use the little redfin as live bait for the Bigguns?
Hey mate, it does work but I am unsure whether it is legal or not.
Trolling the troll fish hey?
About a foot long. Ha!
Got any good tips for trolling in kayaks cheers
Hey mate, I really do not know where to start. LOL Paddle at a speed that your lure swims best at and experiment with how much line you have out.
Nice catch, i bet its a smelly specie :)
The regs say Anglers are encouraged not to return redfin to the water as they prey on native species and can impact other recreational fisheries .Anglers are reminded it is illegal to transport live fish without appropriate VFA approval
Yep, that's exactly what they say mate, thanks for sharing.
@@robbiefishing Love watching your channel mate just thought I would make it clear to all the general public
What’s natives can you catch at that lake
Hey mate, there might be a few blackfish or an odd Macquarie perch, but mostly it is a trout and redfin fishery.
@@robbiefishing is the lake big or small
Robbie i love your content but i still don't think you should throwback the reddies you catch. Just because it is legal doesn't mean you should do it. They are a noxious and invasive species.
Hey mate. What negative effects do you think they are having in this waterway?
They might prey on native fingerlings like Macquarie perch
@@tysonbates5747 What Macquarie perch and native fish?
I thought you said in another comment that there were Macquarie perch and blackfish in the lake
the thong was a stonka
30th lol
Hahaha
The image of you wearing that thong is something I don't want to think about .....
He wasn't wearing any footwear!
