Last week I was delivering to a land owner not far from Lobethal.

Noticing my SAFWAA cap,we started talking fishing. He told me that he desperately wanted to diminish the redfin population in his farm dam because they eat his beloved yabbies. Reckons that when the dam is low, Huge redfin can be seen in the shallows,but he couldn't catch any.

Ears pricked, I keenly got his phone number and said I would probably bring a couple of fishing buddies with me when I returned.

Stopped and had a chat last week with the Reddy King about tactics to use in the murky waters, and the jaw dropped when I stretched the hands as far as the cockie did

Somehow he wormed his way into the little party (Cindy and myself,the Reddy King, Scorpion and Crikey Mikey) that ventured there last Sunday.

Only one decent reddy caught this day, but put a dent in the runt population with 58 reddies removed.

Cindy caught 7 on tiger worms.









Crikey Mikey and myself could only manage 3 each :kiss: :kiss:



The Reddy King showing the farmer his catch from the previous week



The catch when we left tony to go fish some club dams (Tony added another 24 after we left)

That 2kg Reddy will fatten up a bit more until next visit



was shown another way to fillet reddies



Scorpion then led us to a couple of club dams to have a try in.

This is where Cindy caught her 64cm Cod



and was in Ned Kelly country fishing the next dam



Gotta love the lazy days spent in the Adelaide Hills

get anything in the second club dam??? me and Jono fishing it with lures a while back.. but no luck..


nice looking property up them dar hills!!!

Scorp's was surprised that no whiska's appeared in our brief appearance at the second club dam.

couple of tins of corn burleyed up didn't get a sniff. maybe to do with the recent rains.

plenty of skippies while you was there???

nice effort!!!!

unbelievable as you approach the steep descent down to the Ned Kelly dam. The roo's are freaking enormous, along with the emu's

Driving to our Club dams is an experience in itself. The myriad of gravel roads would seldom be seen by the average joe bloe

i know! some of our dams are real adventures to get to!!

when we arrived, the owners caught a couple of catties, but not sure that I want to use their style
