About Lake Purrumbete
Lake Purrumbete, 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 Purrumbete usually mirrors the local forage: small baitfish imitations in spring, larger profiles through summer.

Vary your retrieve speed and depth until you find what the fish are responding to, as their preferences can change daily.
- For Tiger trout
Tiger trout often ambush prey; target areas near structure or drop-offs with quick retrieves.
- For Shortfin eel
Fish near the bottom in areas with cover, such as submerged logs or weed beds; Eels are often most active at night.
