Fantastic slow motion release Robbie. I love it when we can laugh at our mates adversaries and they just have to wear it. 🤣😂

Thanks Kevin. haha Brett and I often laugh at each other, and that's what it is all about. If you're not happy when fishing then you're doing it all wrong I say.

[@Aidanjacksonkightly_reptiles]

Cod opening has to be the best time of year, a golden couple of weeks juuuuust before it gets too hot to want to continue existing!

[@robbiefishing]

Yep... I agree mate. Once the extreme heat arrives the fishing seeks to slow right down. December is definitely the best month in my area.

[@FishtalkVideo]

It was truly touching to hear the sorrow in your voice when describing Brett's bad luck stories....🤣🤣 Looked like a nice relaxing way to finish opening day.

[@robbiefishing]

Hahahaha Thanks Ross. Poor Brett. OMG He is the biggest legend. Haha

Nice session and great catch from your Dad. Feel for Brett, lost a rod a few weeks ago on a very slow day and just wasn't paying attention. Keep up the terrific work!

[@henrythompson8757]

I still haven’t caught me first cod. This Canberra weather isn’t the best. What time of day do you think is best for boat fishing lures for cod?

[@robbiefishing]

Hi Henry, any time of the day will do but I prefer sunrise and sunset.

[@greamewhittaker7674]

hi Robbie what is yellow belly like catch in winter. I'm going to the Murray River today. and what is the best bait to use

[@robbiefishing]

Hi Greame, I find that they slow right down at tgis time of the year. You may catch one or two if you're lucky but I wouldn't be expecting too much. I think thst the further downstream you are the more likely you might be to catch a yella in winter, just because the weather down around Mildure is usually 2 or 3 degrees warmer than it is up around the Albury end.

[@greamewhittaker7674]

Thanks Robbie I'm at torrumbarry fishing.

[@jasondavey-v6v]

G'day Robbie just wondering y u wet Ur hand before grabing the fish

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, it helps to protect the slime coating on the fish.

[@flashy5150]

Isn’t there parts of Australia that there are huge Murray Cod, or is it a different fish that I’m thinking of ? I watched a tv show one time and they were catching fish like them in Australia that were like 3 feet long.

[@robbiefishing]

Go mate, yep thays these ones. They grow well over 3 feet long, even over 4 feet and over 100lb. My biggest is 98cm, about 3 feet. Those mo syers are more common in other areas. We get a few here, but most are around 60cm or under where I live.

[@levihancox1996]

Do you ever do night fishing? I've noticed here in Queensland around 7-8 at night. So basically, pitch black, the yellow belly have been biting awesome. Got a 52 cm yellow belly last week. Idk if it's because it's winter atm but night fishing has been great. Day fishing has been very poor in the creek I fish in.

[@robbiefishing]

Night time fishing can be very productive mate. I sometimes fish into the night but that's about it. I'm too old. Haha

[@levihancox1996]

Yeah, I get that. Cab be a pain doing it at night. Sometimes I just do a camp out for the night . Do you ever use live yabbies and shrimp for bait?

[@greamewhittaker7674]

and can I get shrimp in the colder months

[@robbiefishing]

They really go off the bite in winter in my area mate. You might catch 1 or 2 if you're lucky but they're very hard to catch in winter.

[@stevereed6334]

Hey mate. Another ripper of a video. It’s good to see the juvenile cod about. Have they been stocked into the river system ?

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. The cod haven't been stocked but the yellowbelly have. The trout cod were last stocked about 2005 I think.

[@lukedickerson8559]

Hey Robbie, probably get asked this a bit, but where do you think is the best place to keep worms after buying a punet or 2 ?? Cheers 🍻

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, it depends on what type of worms you have. I store my Jan Jucs on the door in the fridge. I don't put them at the back of the fridge because it is too cold.

[@samevans1672]

Nice original ugly stick, me and my dad collect them we’ve got about 30

[@aussieanvil9187]

hey robbie how many worms do you put on your hook at one time when fishing for cod ?

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, I usually use two when using Jan Juc worms. With regular garden worms it might be as many as 4 or 5. With big scrub worms it is usually 1 or 2.

Haha thats funny. I've never thought of that.

[@chrisa4571]

Hey Robbie Great video. We've going down to the Goulburn river and caught a couple of small cod too but there are more bits then hook ups with our cheese rods. What type of cheese and what sized hook do U use??

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, I am not sure of the size of the hook, but I like them to be bigger than what I would use for yellowbelly or redfin. I prefer tasty cheese mate.

[@henrythompson8757]

Do you think jamjucks work better than other worms you buy from tackle stores? What cheese did you use and do you think there is a limit for the worm and cheese? Great video mate👍

[@robbiefishing]

Hi Henry, I use tasty cheese mate. Jan Juc worms are much fatter and juicier than other worms, and they have very thing and tough skin. Whether they catch more than other worms or not I don't know, but they have certainly been working very well for me.

[@mrFU]

If not for bad luck Brett would have no luck at all haha

Just a bit cheesy with the cheese Just a quick silly one Robbie , why do you use Jan jac worms 🪱 instead of Nathalia night crawlers ..... maybe an alert for cash for comments....

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Andrew. To be honest mate, they send them to me. They originally sent a punnet to my mail time, so I used them and loved them. Now when I run out I send them an email and they send me more. And to be honest, if I was to buy my worms, I would use Jan Jucs over any other worms. I have absolutely nothing against Nathalia Night Crawlers, or any other worm suppliers, but the Jan Jucs are 3 times the size and 4 tomes as juicy. They're also much stronger and stay on the hook a lot better.
