Fishing Lake Fyans for GIANT Redfin ( Redfin fishing Grampians Halls Gap ) !!

Fishing at Lake Fyans in the Grampians, Halls Gap, I'm chasing a 50cm redfin while sharing tips and techniques on catching redfin on soft plastics and lures. Halls Gap provides the incredible backdrop to the Grampians. We're fishing on Lake Fyans in a Drop Bear x300 kayak, and we get into some amazing fishing action. Flicking soft plastics among the timber, weeds, and structure, and trolling, we catch some amazing big redfin, English perch, and rainbow trout. It is a remarkable fishing system with scenic views and unbelievable fishing in Victoria.
