Catching a Rare Species of Fish from the River. EPIC Session

From Murray Cod on the surface to a rare catch fishing in the river. This vid has it all. Filmed in early April. Enjoy

Nice work Will.. great vid👍

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

Thanks a tonne 👍

[@trevorbennett2178]

Good video mate. The water looked so good. Parts of it looked really fishy 👍Yep, had a quick look on the NSW DPI site on freshwater rules re tethering fish, but found nothing. Only a 50m distance from your rod in the water rule. As long as it legal length should ok to tether. And hope no big cod gets it 😀 Cheers.

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

Thanks mate, I’m still forgetful though 😂

[@drew2684]

We love, honour and respect the fish we are so fortunate to be able to catch and sometimes eat. If we are to take some for the table it is best to treat them with the upmost respect and dignity of a clean and quik ending. I don't think tethering is paying the upmost respect to our fish family. Loved the video, so nice to see so many beautiful healthy fish.

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

Thanks heaps mate and I think your spot on. Thanks for watching to

[@DougKelly2828]

Great session! You read the water so well from the bank. Anyone bank fishing could learn a lot on how to fish from the bank no need to fling it right across the other side fish are generally right under your feet. Keep it up!

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

That’s it mate. I love the roots of trees in spring the natives are in there smashing the bait, Thanks for watching

[@lindsaykelly2224]

Looks relaxing out there mate

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

Thanks heaps mate, glad your enjoying the channel

[@simonhumphrey3525]

Lovely Silver Will! That’s your reward for looking after the Yabby and the respect you have for the river. Keep whistling!

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

Was a lucky yabbie for sure. Thanks mate

[@bushfishncook2128]

Awesome as always legend that yabbie must have been what helped you find that silver slab Nice size silver perch Someone lost a bunch in the floods and now my local is holding a few, I caught one on topwater while bass fishing, was really awesome to see it hit a Cicada off the top. Tight lines as always 🎣 Always here watching and giving the good old thumbs up to the awesome work you put in 👍🏼

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

Thanks 👍 legend, thankyou for your support mate. They are a great fish to catch

[@andrews9]

Lovely silver, come across plenty of them lower down....always on bait though :)

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

Thanks mate, my dad caught a monster one bait

[@davidlandells4443]

The clarity of the water is great. What river system is it ? cheers.

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

Sorry mate, my general rule is I don’t give out location unless it’s in title or description. I’m sure you understand. Thanks for watching

[@neilwedlick9851]

Nice session,thanks again Will,keep up the good work.Cheers mate.

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

Thanks, will do! Or at least trying!! Thanks Neil

[@wayneberry8703]

Ha, Will, once again mate 👍🏼 you’ve done a Rudy great job. You really do read the water so well. As usual mate you caught some lovely fish 👍🏼.

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

Thanks 👍 glad you enjoyed it my mate

[@fatheransonfishing2723]

Still heaps of silver’s about in the upper part of the Lachlan

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

That is good news, they are a ripper fish

[@mrpoopypants9586]

Nice Willy. Corellas, trout cod, yabbies in tupperware, cod, silver perch. That's a great area you live in and you're putting it to good use mate. Cheers PP

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

Thanks poopy pants, missed your name coming up on the comments lol. Thanks for watching mate

[@mrpoopypants9586]

@@whistlingwillysfishing8992 Sorry mate, been away fishing too much! Just back from skiing. Always try to follow your stuff, though. Be interesting to see how the water flow goes for the next 6 months or so. The central west has really dried up, creeks are low. Great to see the silver, the DPI are having great success with Macquaries near Bathurst. Keep on whistling them up mate. Cheers PP

[@elvinsmatthew]

I think I was fishingn those spots the other day.

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

If you were you must know the property owner.

[@elvinsmatthew]

@@whistlingwillysfishing8992 my mistake. Thought it was elsewhere

[@Michael_Lane_Fishing]

Nice one Will. I guess the silver like that slightly smaller profile lure

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

I would Imagine so mate, though I wreckon if switched on enough could hit something slightly bigger

[@Kyle_Barber]

Great work mate, incredible silver. I used to catch hundreds of them at Darlington Point probably 2016 was the last time I’ve seen one.

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

Nice one, yer hopefully they make a return in the future

[@glenbaker4024]

I doubt that you would forget any fish you took the time to tether. A quick glance at the rules for NSW was unproductive; I couldn’t see anything regarding it. I’d call what passes for DPI in NSW and ask them before I did it. Odds are if I did it an inspector would definitely turn up and book me. Ps. Great vid as always. Cheers mate.

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

Cheers mate, would happen for me to 😂

[@parso2855]

I couldn’t find anything on nsw but no tethering live fish in vic

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

Thanks mate, I will just not to do it, to risky and I am very forgetful. Thanks for wayching

[@parso2855]

@@whistlingwillysfishing8992 yeah it’s best to just keep a fish if you’ve got the preparation like ice or a cold place to put. No worries mate awesome vids you’re killing it keep it up

[@billmago7991]

Where do you get your lures from?😊

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

Hardbody’s are Australian Crafted, they are found in most tackle shops also Anaconda and Bcf, I have 7 exclusive colours that can be bought from me through fb which is part of Sponsorship.

[@laurencetilley9194]

I have been watching your videos for ages and I have been wondering why you had not caught any 'Grunter Bream'. I was beginning to think that they have have become extinct. As a young bloke back in the 70's it was not unusual to get Grunters 5-8 pound, and yes they really do grunt. Have you ever caught a 'Tench', we use to catch the odd one up to 5 pound when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing.

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

I haven’t. Grinders we’re a little commen back in the Lachlan as a kid , my uncle caught one sround the 5/6 pound once. Would be great to see them come back in numbers. Thanks for your continued support mate, much appreciated

[@LoganCastle-by7kf]

Hey mate what real you use

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

I use several different ones. I’m rough on gear, curado 200 is my oldest, zillion, and other Diawas . All around the same size.. hope that helps mate

[@LoganCastle-by7kf]

@@whistlingwillysfishing8992 what size real is your favourite flicking under trees and the fishing u do for cod

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

I use several, my oldest is a curado 200 , so all around that size, if that helps

[@glenbaker4024]

Ps. Buddy was very grateful for the treats fed to him in honour of Kimbo.

[@whistlingwillysfishing8992]

Awesome, glad Buddy got some treats 🙏 , give him a big pat for me tp

[@168amax]

Tethering live fish is illegal
