MandaBarrenger Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Hi Guys, Cheers for the add. My partner and I are heading to Burrill Lake in early March for a fishing weekend away without the kids. Any tips on the area, where to head, what bait/plastics to use? Any advice would be apprciated, as we are only visiting so we don't know the area overly well. Thanks again all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel944 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Not sure on Burrill, however I fish St Georges Basin all the time. Latley we have been having a lot of luck drifting bays with prawns on the bottom and I have gone out at night casting surface lures in the shallows for a few nice taylor - though a word of warning, when attempting to pick up a fish in the dark, make sure your getting the fish and not the lure!

Blakeosgood Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 hi mate, spent a lot of time in burrill. in the lake there are some great size flatty that love the berkerly pumpkin seed lure. also there is a tackle shop right on the lake that sells fresh prawns. they are always a hit. Fishing from the beach is unreal and also off the rocks at Dolphin Point. Use fresh bait and have a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate, i have few different types of plastics, and it looks like i might have the right colour too. We'll be grabbing some fresh prawns too while we are there. We are there for the long weekend so will be hitting up a few different spots. Will be all landbased as we don't have a boat, but just hoping to get a couple of decent flathead, gotta take at least one home to the 9 year old to eat, or this mumma will be in big trouble. Cheers for the response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were thinking of head up towards st Georges basin, as it's not to far to go. sounds like it would have hurt mate, hope your alright Edited February 23, 2016 by MandaBarrenger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
