Great video bud. I love watching your videos because you remind me of my father who passed away in 2019. Watching you be a bit of a knucklehead warms my heart. Cheers mate.

Haha. LOL 😂😂😂

[@LarrysFishing]

What a great way to end winter and break a drought. That Carp was a monster and 5 different species, great for anytime of year, but the highlight was Ivy, what a gorgeous puppy!

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Larry. Ivy certainly is a beautiful little girl.

[@OVTraveller]

Robbie, loved your fishing in little creeks in the N E. For years I have been going to Mt Beauty and Bright and have often wondered about some of the Ovens back water just beyond Markwood as you enter back into the valley from the Hume. Have you ever tried these? Some will not have been linked to the Ovens river, but seem always full of water. Worth a try? Cheers, Otto

[@robbiefishing]

G'day Otto, I'm so sorry mate but I'm not sure exactly which waterway you are talking about. Markwood is quite a long way from the Hume Freeway. Sorry mate. 🙏

[@OVTraveller]

@@robbiefishing Sorry Robbie, if you follow the road from the Hume high way and the short cut to Myrtleford, passed Markwood, over the hill, you drop back into the Ovens valley, several old oxbow lakes are evident on the right, full of water most of the year. I have never stopped, but have been tempted. You could get there from Wang on the Greta road in 20 minutes. Good luck, but if you miss out, back towards the high way there a some deep holes in the King where the road crosses the river. If still out of luck drop into Brown Brothers in Milawa!?

[@Vincentdonnelly5158]

QUESTION: The 75cms Carp is what I call a "Mick Jagger" Carp because of the large lips...any idea why some Carp are like this but most are not? An excellent video to round off the Cod season Robbie, now we wait for the arrival of Summer and a new Cod season.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Neil. I think the carps lips get bigger and fatter as the fish do. A bit like us when we get a double chin. Haha

Hey Robbie, bit of a random question but I saw that you posted the riddells creek bridge on Instagram last Saturday and the day after that I had my Rupertswood football presentations at selesian college. I saw a man at the back of the room and thought jeez that looks alot like Robbie and considering you were in riddells creek the day before I was wondering was that you there? Because if it wasnt i saw your doppelganger😂 Good video mate keep it up!

[@tonycostanzo4276]

Do you think different type of worms make a difference ,there night crawlers which are compost worms and then there are earth worms.

[@robbiefishing]

I think there's a lot to unpack on this subject. The best worms are the ones found on the bank of where you're fishing. They're natural. As far a bought worms goes, they're all similar as far as attracting fish goes. The best ones are the biggest, the juiciest and the strongest. Worms that fall off the hook when you cast are horrible. They will catch fish... If you can keep them on the hook.

[@EdwardYang-wu7yq]

I bet you can pull out a mud marlin in 1 cm water. Hahaha!

Thanks so much mate. There are many differences. Macquarie Perch are more of an upland species. They're usually darker in clear water and pale in dirty water. They have a larger eye and are generally a much fatter fish. Silver Perch are a much more solid, muscle fish. They grunt, and they bend like bananas.
