Catching Crayfish, Cod And Cold Feet. Murray Cod Fishing In May

I chose a great looking spot to go Murray cod fishing in May, but first I had to wade across the icy cold river to get to the other side. It was a cold Murray cod fishing experience, but I was rewarded with some nice catches of Murray cod, Trout cod, Crayfish and almost a carp.

G’day Robbie, that’s nice looking water, mate 👍🏼. Great video as usual, well done. That water looks freezing, lol, better you than me, but fish to go ol mate and that beautiful Cod 👍🏼. That was very exciting with everything going all over the place, 😂. That was a beautiful Cray too.

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks Wayne. My heart sank when I realised that I had forgotten my cheese and had to walk back across. LOL 😂

[@murrayprosser5082]

Hey Robbie you could put a flat plate near the base of the rod holder that you can push into the sand and it will stop the holder from being pulled over. You could make it detachable for when your fishing on a solid bank. Might just keep your feet dry and save your rod.

[@robbiefishing]

G'day Murray, thanks mate that's a great idea, but then there would be more things for me to carry..... Or forget and leave in the car. Haha 🤣👍

[@michaelhayes1068]

Hello rob Mate I have a problem with cheese as a bait....I eat more than the fish do 😁 And did I hear you correctly the water at -98 🤔 lol Nice cod rob and nice to see crayfish.. Cheers mate enjoy your day.. 😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🎣

Top stuff love the slowmo of that carp Great to see that was a near lost rod experience I think that the case with all rod holders I haven’t come across one that any different in the sand Although I I’ve seen a mate years ago who had a welded piece of chain on the upright and a cable connected via a spring hook to a peg in the ground about 1.5 meters behind the rod holder

[@krissteel4074]

Always nice to see some trout cod in the system given how close they came to extinction and a 50cm murray cod is a respectable fish. He nearly took half your gear Sandy bank like that might also have some freshwater mussels in there too, I'd leave it to someone else to go digging around with their toes in the 9C water

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks mate, so would I. That was a little bit chilly. LOL 🤣🤣

Hey Robbie, just wondering if there’s a rod you’d recommend that is good for bait and lure fishing in lakes and rivers. Cheers!

Robbie is there a different between fresh water cray and salt water cray when it comes to taste?

[@robbiefishing]

Hi Catherine, I think they all taste a little bit different to each other. I prefer yabbies over all of the others. Haha Saltwater prawns are nicer than Murray crayfish in my opinion, but yabbies are the best.

[@catherinekamoen6685]

I’ve never tried yabbies or fresh water crays or actually the Murray cod or trout cod

[@nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn361]

hey Robbie, great video, the fishings been really slow recently, I recommend going to the reservoir in merrigum and there's 2 lakes there, one small one, one big one, the big one has been stocked with big Murray cod from another water system, and the best bait to use there is chicken and you just drop your bait straight down at a pontoon and I got my first metery there, and a lot of other people have got meteries there, if you can go there it'd make a great video, and the smaller lake has big yellowbelly but has weed everywhere and is almost impossible to fish, but it might be boring though, it's a pretty all or nothing spot

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much mate, I must get there some day. 👍👍

[@nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn361]

​@@robbiefishingno worries thanks for the reply, have you heard of the spot im talking about before?

[@nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn361]

@@robbiefishing also dont expect a metery on your first time there, it took me about 3 times, but the first time I took someones advice and just dropped chicken down at the pontoon I got a metery

[@AndrewFishman]

@@nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn361 Metery on 3rd trip is excellent fishing. I love chicken. Got a few vids using it in both fresh and salt for all sorts of fish. For weed bed goldens, float a yabby in the patches between the weeds or above the weeds. Chicken, worms, shrimp or soft plastics on a float will all work well too. Or rig a plastic on a worm or circle hook and fish it with no weight, or a very small running sinker. Rig so the point is buried in the back of the lure so it becomes more weed resistant. I like weed beds, they mean big, fat fish. But they can be tough to fish. And getting a bite is just half the fun, then you have to land the fish that is pretty determined to head straight down into the weed bed and bury you in green stuff. Love it!

[@jaxsonlestrange4103]

Hey Robbie I’ve found another private dam that I got permission to fish and I’ve been catching both big catfish and decent Redfin. Oddly enough the Redfin have been there for years and years and the catfish haven’t been there in as long but they still survived any idea how so many survived? Thanks

[@AndrewFishman]

Catfish are very much survivors. They and our predatory natives lived together for millions of years, the redfin cannot teach them anything. Catfish have a very sharp, and slightly venomous, spine on their pectoral fin and dorsal spine. This makes them pretty unpalatable to many fish, as they run the risk of dying themselves. It is not uncommon on inland rivers to fins a large yebbly or even the odd cod that has a large tandanus stuck in its throat. The catfish, themselves, are very effective and efficient predators and will be eating any young reddies they can wrap their whiskery lips around. When not eating redfin, yabbies are a smorgasbord.

[@robbiefishing]

That sounds awesome mate. I reckon Andy has hit the nail on the head. Also, if the catfish were a little larger when stocked the redfin may not have been able to eat them.
