Lake Weeroona

Lake Weeroona, in Victoria, Australia, is the kind of lake where a careful approach pays off. Shore anglers do well casting parallel to the bank along reed lines and overhanging trees, where ambush predators wait. Boat anglers can fan-cast points and submerged humps — anywhere the bottom changes depth quickly. Lure choice at Lake Weeroona usually mirrors the local forage: small baitfish imitations in spring, larger profiles through summer.

Fishing Techniques

• For Japanese meagre

  Target Japanese meagre during low light conditions or at night, and work lures slowly and methodically near structure.

• For Murray cod

  Target structure like fallen trees, rocky outcrops, and undercut banks, as Murray cod are ambush predators.

• For Common carp

  Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.
