Catching yellowbelly and Murray cod with a bladed spinner A FIRST for me...

[@Aidanjacksonkightly_reptiles]

I absolutely love using spinners, that pretty much all I use for flicking. Cod do hit them, but yellas absolutely smash them.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. I've caught yellas on various bladed spinners, they love them but these cod were a first for me.

[@Aidanjacksonkightly_reptiles]

@@robbiefishing Makes the catch ever better, then! Always good trying new stuff and succeeding

[@michaelhayes1068]

Good morning rob Well I'll thank you straight away because that video has brightened a very cold and gray morning...beautiful fish mate.. Iv have been seeing the flooding over there and hope your all safe and you havent been affected to much... Mate our heart felt regards Stay safe and as always many thanks 😎🇬🇧

[@robbiefishing]

Thank you so much Michael. We're nit flood effected here thankfully. We have had above average rain, and the river is high and dirty, not nothing like the massive floods that ate a bit north of here.

[@RKJFishing]

Well done dodging through the snags in the current. I would have turned around at that point I think lol. Beautiful fish mate, size doesn't matter at all. I might have to invest in one of those spinners. Looking forward to seeing the guppie plastics once you sort them out

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. I didn't realise that for the hardest obstacle to navigate my camer wasn't rolling. LOL I had to squeeze under a low tree in the current. It was a tad sketchy. Haha

[@Urbanfisho]

Check OUT my mate Adi, from Adispin lures. You can find him on FB. He makes a lot of lures & spinner baits! He is now located in Brisbane!

[@kioobee705]

These streams and creeks in temperate countries are always so beautiful. I could sit at the bank of one and admire the view all day without having the urge to fish (for maybe 30 seconds). I hope to find myself at one in the future, but for now, thank you for sharing the scenery with me.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Kioobee. I certainly am very lucky to live where I do.

[@deerhunteraus5014]

A small Celta like one you would use for trout is my all time favourite lure for yellowbelly and silver perch seem to like them too.

[@eclipseau_1765]

hey robbie.i went fishing on the weekend and cought my first cod on my rod and it was over a mitre and it was on a surface lure so it was so much more exciting.

[@kevdimo6459]

Geez that looked like a lot of fun mate. Thanks for showing us again Robbie good onya.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Kev. It was a wonderful stream to drift down thats for sure. I had a blast.

[@evanmiris5765]

Good vid Robbie, I had a spinner bait with a creature bait on it the same colour as the one you are using , black and red skirt, black creature and hot pink tentacles and claws. I fished it all day at Burrinjuck dam and it caught yellow belly all day long. I had it sitting on the bottom while getting a drink and it still got sucked up by a carp . That colour combo was deadly on that day.

[@Paddy.Fishing]

What's up Robbie! great video mate keep the good work up...Pat

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much for watching Pat.

[@kennethsmith3260]

that's a nice healthy waterway. plenty of small fish, they'll grow..great video ,thanks Robbie.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Kennetg. They sure will grow up.

[@KB4th]

Great vid mate, a nice fishing adventure.....

[@brendangray1985]

Robbie fishing, fair few years ago using the Aus spin branded 4 blade spinner bait I think it was red black and yellow one I caught a snag that turned out to be a fish it was a cod that was around 50 pound from memory or over 21kg it was about 130cm long below the Hume weir wall on the back water side the Victorian side if you ever want to make a video there you can put the kayak in there, there is no heavy currents that side and I’ve never ever seen a fish that big ever caught there except that one time I’ve never caught a cod there since only yellow belly and Redfin and trout.

[@MikeSargentOnline]

Hey Robbie. That giant "Celta" was interesting. And hooked one on the drop too. Good fishing mate. FYI l subscribed to tackle box. Great value there. Bought a couple of black queen deluxe too. Nothing wrong with a bit of nostalgia.

[@chriscoates2399]

Love the colours n markings on them little cod

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate, they are beautiful fish.

[@bretthass1347]

G'day Robbie the other Brett again here 😀👍 another very well done footage / yellAbelly on the spinner was awesome, still to tick off my list of things to do well done 👍

[@robbiefishing]

Hey Brett, thanks so much mate.

[@blakep4507]

Got a little 60cm cod on the baby bidjiwong from tackleclub last weekend on the gwydir river, Bingara, NSW. Middle of the day, drizzling and overcast. Great lure!

[@robbiefishing]

Hey mate thats awesome, well done. I am very impressed with that lure.

[@davidlove7825]

Robbie I see you use the Wilson Venom baitcasters rod. Which model do you have?

[@moomoo9611]

Winner winner don’t be scared to use a spinner👍 100% agree, I’ve often got yellas as a by-catch chasing bigger reddies with bigger spinners and I’ve got yellas on spinners targeting them (although I prefer jackels for yellas). Color, flash and vibration will get the fish curious no matter what the species. Thanks for the vid, got heaps of tips off this one Thanks for sharing Love your work Healthy habits

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Moo Moo. In other news I walked 4.5km today with an attitude gain of 125 metres. My app says 3.5km because I accidentally paused it while walking. LOL Thays a healthy habit. 👍

[@l214laus]

Robbie, a great float and some beautiful casts right in the snags etc

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. Sure was a ripper float down some new water. Well, new for me from a kayaking perspective anyway. Haha

[@peterhipwell4632]

Wonderful video Robbie interesting too see how the Berkeley lures go

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Peter. I definitely need to work out how to rig them properly.

[@rodgeorge7244]

Bloody rippa vid Robbie great to see so many small cod around because they will grow into big cod over time.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Rod, I bloody hope so mate.

[@AndrewFishman]

Muzzas love inline spinners. Remember the old Aeroplane Spinner? I got a couple of big spinners last year that I have not had a chance to throw. Looking forward to some good weather. If it actually clears up soon, I might get out for a flick.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Andrew. I hope your rivers (and weather) all clear up soon. The downside to La Nina.

[@alexllama1]

Great job, keep it up. 👍👍

[@robbiefishing]

Great to see your waterway there so healthy. Great video Robbie.🍻👍

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. Our river here sure is very healthy.

[@Loco-qb3ix]

Love the video mate, just wondering how do you cut your braid? I use 50 lb braid and scissors don’t work at all and neither do the sharp part on the pliers. I use a knife currently but it takes a couple of goes to get one without it being a mess? Cheers

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. I usually use a sharp knife. You can buy braided line scissors from decent tackle storsles and they work very well.

[@shadowjohn2266]

great video and any cod is fun i am still waiting to see your face when you get a meter cod a 80 cm or 90 cm is exciting but over a meter is a huge adrenaline rush and i can feel it your going to get one soon i hope

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks so much John. I think that the law of averages says thats it has to happen eventually doesn't it? LOL

[@OneSixMotosport16]

Fun fun fun

[@TheOutbackFisherman]

Bloody awesome video mate! Wow! I’ll have to grab one of those spinner they look so good

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. It worked a treat. I found I had to give it a few short jabs to get it to spin at the start of most casts but one spinning it worked a treat.

[@jesserowe5346]

Hey Robbie, where about do you live mate? Some great spots

[@goldentwilight1944]

Yeah, those Berkly Guppie things looked interesting indeed. Perhaps keep the worm hook, but try incorporating a small ball sinker inside the actual loop knot? Just a suggestion (could be wrong)? That spot you were fishing was a neat little creek, holds some nice fish.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate, and what a great idea. I think a trokar hook might be a better option. Same shape and design but with a small screw to hold the plastic rather than relying on the bend in the hook.

[@gregcropp928]

Hi mate, just a question. Would perch survive in my dam ? It's about 2mt in the middle. It has yabbies and mosquito fish that I know of

[@tmurdoch2]

Check your local regs. It's illegal to move redfin or keep them live in NSW. The things will live anywhere but they're not a good thing to introduce anywhere.

[@jameslennox4242]

awesome video robbie! You'll have to get out to the small stream near mine had a good session today plenty of big ones around too. Dropped heaps and the two i managed to catch one foul hooked (jumped probababy 4 feet haha) and the other I got distracted when i casted and a trout took off with my floating minnow that was just sitting there while my bail was open and i somehow catch that but drop the ones that hit it and hook up like a normal catch haha.

[@robbiefishing]

Hey James, WOW thay sounds awesome mate. I was only thinking a few days ago that I must get back up there, probably on my motorbike. Haha

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. I have caught yellowbely on sponners, but never cod.

[@Toobeez1]

@@robbiefishing good work Robbie Luvs how you always willing to try something different. In my local family fishing lake stocked with natives and trout I find the cod respond really well to spinners normally the 5 for $10 from Kmart do the trick. Sometimes I attach them to a beetle spin and they work even better. Basically how I got onto them was I was getting bugger all cod or yelas using traditional spinnerbaits in these smaller family fishing lakes and my mate and someone who is well respected on fishing forum I always go on said try small lures such as spinners or small hardbody lures I'd use for bream and trout etc and ever since been smashing them on the spinners. Been getting few on small spinnerbaits to.

Hey Robbie do you use a leader line or just braid quick question cause I can’t tie any leader knots for shit

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, neither can I. LOL I just tie braid straight to a line clip. If I fished it more to my areas I would take the time to learn how to tie a leader not properly as rocks will run through your braided line very quickly.
