Very helpful Robbie
Well done Robbie that’s some great advice 🍻👍
Great advice Robbie, you inspire the young and the old. Thanks again
Bridge Trout! What a ripper, Robbie….
Nice trout robbie
That would have made my week catching a trout in a spot like that you never know.
Hi Nev next time try the lime and salt one but leave it for 5 then take them out of the marinade and put in a bowl with a bit of olive oil mixed in it ,,, have it on sayos and yes your right cut em thin
Nice one mate. I often do the same but to find new spots to kayak.
Wow, great fish. You’re a great fisherman.
Good on you Robbie your an absolute trooper and a really nice guy mate and always fun to watch
Love the content Robbie, in hidden valley, wallan, victoria there is a nice lake with lots of rainbow trout and redfin if you would like to go there. Have a good one👍
Well done . Great fish 👍💥
Do you have ya own video from when you were featured on ‘off the grid mate?
Best episode of that show yet haha, my misso paused the TV for me when she noticed ya. Great yabby session but…. you were out done when he got the double hook up on the pull in
Awseome video mate 😀👍
Wasnt a bridge too far to expect a fish in that hole… I spend most work days exploring google maps (how my boss isn’t on you tube…) to find acess points to smaller creeks. Always such a reward to find a new spot with fish!
Hi Robbie. im a hardcore tenkara fisherman but l love all your videos.
Great video and a super trout. I use google earth a lot to find new spots and launch sites. Just driving around has paid off too.👍🏻🇨🇦
Great video Robbie, what I like to do is go on google earth and looks for spots along the river
Good morning rob ..
What a lovely brownie, just go to show you never know what’s waiting until you drop a bait in… top stuff mate ….P.S the sausages and coffee are on the go and theres a space for you ..

Fishing on the fly
Gday Robbie, love the videos mate, keep up the great work. I have recently got back into fishing about a year ago and your videos have been very helpful. I mainly fish freshwater too, mainly in Western Victoria in the Wimmera River and other lakes around the Horsham area. There is some pretty good fishing around the area with Yellowbelly, Redfin and some cod in the lakes, you should come over this way one day and give it a go. Also love your taste in music, i know you like a bit of Metallica so i have put a link below of me and my 15yr old son playing a song for you. Hope you enjoy and keep reelin em in mate! 😎🤘

Healthy fish!!!
Fantastic fish. The camera shot was great when you released it. Light was fine.
Google Maps is definitely your friend when looking for new water to check out.
Nice one Robbie, same over here! You just won’t know until you fish a water what’s potential is. I’ve walked bloody miles in a day before now only to blank. But hey, that’s fishing.
ONLY way to do it!
Just gotta have a crack mate, hope you and family are well
Hey Robbie I’ve found this video helpful, I’m a really big fan of your videos, I just caught my first Murray cod what was 37cm, I used all your fishing tips and it worked, keep up the good work mate👍
Is good
Hi Robbie I’ve been watching some of you older vids with the missus and she was impressed with your woman with 12 breasts joke. 😂😂Keep em coming mate. 🍺👍🏽
You sound like Peter griffin 😂
Nice trout Robbie
.There’sa fella I watch here in the U.S. who uses google earth to find new fishing spots. Sometime he’ll drive 2 hours to try something hesaw on there, but his primary income is from his youtube videos so a four hour round trip isjust part of the business.
secret men’s buisness fish spots😆nice trout rob.
That’s the way mate, even if you don’t catch something – if the signs look good at a spot then there’s no reason the fish won’t be there in the future.
To me, I don’t really have ‘secret spots’ that I fish. I’m fairly open about the places I fish as I’ve found it’s more than just knowing where to fish. Knowing when to fish a spot, what to use and how to use it are far more important factors in my opinion and a lot more difficult to figure out!
caught a big glathead and a Big Salmon Caught a Trevelly thr trevally was too small it went back kept the Salmon and the flathead
That’s all you can really do indeed. Since there is no real map telling you 100% where things are for certain. I have caught fish in rivers that are barely even mentioned online, and then on the flip side I have gone to the most popular rivers and caught nothing.
My general idea is that if the particular hole or area looks like people go there all the time, then probably give it a miss, the fish probably will be fished out or have been permanently scared away from settling in that area because of people being there all the time.
I find the best fishing is usually in areas that people rarely go to, these areas are where a fish population have been able to establish themselves in peace, of course until I come along with my rod, lol.
There is another cheat I used, look at the state’s fish stocking map. This tells you how many of a species were dumped into what river and in what year. If there is a river that has had for example tens of thousands of yellowbelly dumped into it every year for the past decade, it’s almost certainly going to be a winner for going there and trying to catch that species. This is especially useful with trout, because up here in NSW trout simply don’t exist in many rivers, only a few colder upstream areas will you find a trout that wasn’t placed there recently and is a descendant of some natural population (not native of course, but naturally occurring baby fish I mean, not hatchery ones). The trout stocking map is the best, I use it and found good trout fishing up in the MacDonald river to the east of Bendemere. I never feel guilt about taking non-native fish for myself, because I know they have a worldwide existence, I always feel guilty about taking native fish however, especially the cod, because it’s trying to bounce back and it only exists in Australia as a species. The odd time I will take a yellowbelly because they are just too damn delicious to pass up sometimes.
Redfin fishing is always fun. I tend to find Redfin a lot in the new England area. They appear to flourish in cooler waters, and not too much flow either, like a large body of water in a cooler temperature river seems really good for Redfin. The Redfin are so easy to catch on the spinner lures I find, since the Redfin have great eyesight and are an athletic fish, they are a super predator and take to the flashing spinner lures aggressively.
I enjoy doing a bit of carp fishing in a beautiful river not far from my house. You really don’t have to even try to find carp, they are basically in every river, so there is no intelligence gathering in reference to carp fishing. Just take some corn and go catch them in just about any river. Carp are a bit boring in the initial phase of hooking them up, since you don’t use lures, but you just use bait, and they are so incredibly easy to hook up. But the fun with carp is their fight, they fight so bloody hard and it’s fun. I cut off a small fillet from the lateral line and down, it’s only small, but this area is boneless, after you catch 3 carp you have a good meal of these boneless fillets combined, carp actually is a good tasting fish, you just can’t take the bulk of the meat on the lateral line and above , as it’s full of bones.
Ah ……… the old fish in the bridge hole trick😜🤣
Thanks for sharing
Love your work
Healthy habits
I would love to see some more cod fishing videos robbie
Great video 👍👌
That was a nice trout
Hay Robby, do you think you could try out a Fishseeker device in a freshwater lake I would love to see you test it out but in freshwater for an even tougher test than the ocean where it’s meant for, im curuios to see an expert play around with on of those TV showing fishing devices 😉
Hi Robbie. Hooray, I have finally found a good Aussie bloke fishing rivers in my backyard. Thanks for all your tips. Kind regards MP
Well done Robbie that was an amazing video. How easy was it to catch that lovely Trout.👍🏻
I liked your accent very much, very helpful explanation my dear friend 👍🔔♾️
Do the miles get the smiles! Lovely trout Robbie. 👌
