FishingMad is back on the water chasing HUGE fish close to home. Fishing metro systems around Melbourne. It was a pleasure this year to be heavily involved in Victoria's Metro Stonker Stocking program. I had the pleasure of releasing hundreds of these awesome fish into multiple metro systems around Melbourne and catching plenty of them too.
I run through the stocking process and highlight releasing some huge brood stock rainbow trout into Albert Park Lake a wondaful metro system only 3 kilometres from the Melbourne CBD and follow that up a few days later fishing on the Hobie Lynx at Karkarook Park lake catching a few huge freshwater giants.
Wonderful job by the VFA having annual programs like the Eildon Festival and metro Stonkers which makes huge fish accessible for families and beginners close to home.

Albert Park Lake - 120
