Smitty Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hi all, Thought it was about time to give the Georges a try for Blackfish again, so I headed down Lagarno way for a few hours on Saturday morning. It was a beautiful morning, a bit cool but very little boat traffic to disturb the serenity. Found plenty of Blackies in the river, quite a few smaller models but some nice fish amongst them also. Kept three for the table, one at 33 and two at 34cm, all fat health fish. Heres a pic of the ones I kept. Cheers, Smitty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have been fishing the runout so can I assume that it's a certain spot that misses the run that comes around the corner? Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor78 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Nice Catch Over the years ive had quite good catches off blackfish in the Georges. Ive caught some huge fish and my bag limit many many times in the upper reaches and most off the good catches have been on freshwater weed. The Georges fires during march/april then july to september is another good period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor78 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Cant wait til the rain clears up. Wanna head out there and try myself the down pour of rain has put the Blackfish off in the upper reaches of the Georges. We gotta wait till the rain stops and give it a couple of weeks for the river to clear up before they bite again. the rain should get the bream firing tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
