Soft plastics will work but you will find that the Redfin are not as prolific as in some of your Victorian lakes. Good luck anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bessell1955 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Big Neil, what are Redfin like as a table fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Big Neil, what are Redfin like as a table fish? Very good, white, firm flesh...though you need to be wary of a lot of bones. Taste very good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cargo05 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) When redfin are schooled up, almost anything will get a result. TT Ghost Blades in Bloody Ghost colour, red Celta, red Mepps, and bronze Hogback with red wool are all good options. Mostly I use catch and release, but with redfin, being an introduced species, I am very happy to eat the catch. They are a great feed. Lake Mulwala is an iconic waterway for both Murray Cod and Yellowbelly, and both are well worth pursuing whilst you are there. Kieffen's Reserve is a good place to start. If you have a boat target these fish amongst the structure. Oar-Gee Plow lures in either 60 or 75mm in Colour A, Colour GR, and Colour H, and Predatek Boomerang in sizes 65 and 80mm, in colours PT, and EJ, are my go to lures in these waters.

Garrybeynon Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Try Zman grubz 2.5 in motor oil. With a 1/6 jig head size 1 hook. Works for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrybeynon Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Slow roll retrieve with some pauses instead of a drop and jig up like you would for flathead. Great tasting just you tube how to fillet it and you will get to boneless fillets crumb and fry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirvin21 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I've found during winter redfin will school up in deep water presumably to spawn, its just a matter of finding them with a sounder and dropping a lure to them during warmer months they disperse around the edges, we caught dozens at copeton casting bream style hardbodies and plastics in particular areas where boats and skiers stir up the water just a simple slow roll retrieve generally does the damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
