Hi All

I wanted to do some fishing in Elgin and have seen a few people on tubes on the waters there. I am going down for a wedding and thought be great to wet a line in the morning. Any advice for fishing from a bank in elgin and good spots?

thanks

The bottom (largest) dam on Galileo holds some very good fish; I've fished it often. Good from a tube or the bank. December is a good time; you wont be disappointed.

My man,you have big gonads to go fishing on the morning of your wedding...may I suggest a romantic champagne breakfast with comments like..."Oh look,a nice looking bass dam,but you know I would rather enjoy this time with you !"
Or are you laying down the 'way it is ' right from the start !! :blue-biggrin:

yip, she is getting ready on the morning, and its 4pm ceremony. So lots of time for a few guys to wet a line and catch 1 or 2 fish.

i am hoping the fishing will settle my nerves but also she knows i love to fish and so does she. so a win win there

Hey Zulu, congrats on the wedding. Love the fact you are planning the fishing 8 months ahead. Galilo has a great little dam that "Coots Cottage" overlooks.
You can almost fish off the doorstep. Lovely spot and lovely dam. Did a reportback a while ago on it.

If they are booked try Inn on Highlands. Also has a lovely dam that is slightly bigger but I think the cottages at Galileo ar a bit more secluded so may be better on the romance level.
Enjoy
