Exciting Murray cod fishing with heaps of fishing tips

Here is a video from my Murray cod fishing session yesterday afternoon.
It was a stinking hot and balmy afternoon and the sweat was rolling off me.
The river looked OK, but water quality was a bit dirty.
The fishing was still quite good though and the Murray cod were still active, despite the dirty water.
I do not know how long this fantastic Murray cod fishing will last but I have a feeling that there is going to be a huge cod fishing slowdown just around the corner. It is pouring rain now which is sure to make the rivers and creeks dirty, even for a little while.
Hopefully they bounce back pretty quickly and we get some more great Murray cod fishing this autumn before winter sets in.

Just watching your old videos and I caught a 20 cm bass on a number 2 stump jumper just shows they work for all sizes of fish

[@joshvb9484]

Surprised you havnt been picked up by a television channel yet Robbie, your videos are great. Exciting, funny and just feel good to watch. Awesome seeing your Chanel grow and always look forward to your next video 👍🏼

[@curtisbaxter6362]

spinner baits work good to😀😀 love the videos what the biggest cod you've caught

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate my biggest is 98cm.

[@chalrzm]

Great video, one huge takeaway from this video is Robbie's skills in observance. Noticing a lizard in the first few seconds and tiger snake not much later on, being able to pick up on these little things is a skill that for most people takes a lot of work. They are also a plus when it comes to learning the ways of these fish and becoming better at seeking them out.

Thanks mate I’ve been fishing in the mitta for a while now and haven’t got much

[@CamBill_ROBLOX]

Another cool video. We have bass up here not sure if we are allowed to target cod in the rivers. Have to get out again and chase some when the rivers go down

[@collieyak971]

I love that lure retriever mate, have you got a vid on how it works?

[@chippyinthebush7361]

Hey Robbie, loved watching this vid. Have been watching a few this year and love em. Have been trying to catch cod in ovens, now in Murray at Easter with stump lure and bait fishing. What bait casters are worth a look at? I haven't got reel or rod in bait caster department. Thanks again for video's.

[@glenbaker4024]

Hi Robbie. Can you please make a video showing the design and use of your lure retriever?

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Fantastic fish mate. That recovery weight is amazing, the old man knew a thing a too. Cheers Moose.

[@robbiefishing]

MOOSEDOWNUNDER hahahaha thanks heaps Moose. He still does....he's still going. LOL He's down at Lake Mulwala fishing right now, probably using his own retriever. I have the rest of the day off and am just waiting for my camera battery to charge and them I'm heading up into the hills....can't bloody wait!

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Enjoy brother.

[@isaiaharo5176]

Hey Robbie, got any tips for me I’ve yet to catch a yella on a lure I’ve been flicking at some good snags where I’ve seen yella been caught but just haven’t been able to get one any tips?

How do u cast so Good

[@ShaneAusinka6]

LOL ....Rob ya can't beat a bit of comedy with ya fishing , makes things interesting.....I always have a few Monty Python moment's myself.....just have to scratch my head and laugh

[@mmmtea1263]

Awesome video Robbie, nice fish too. keep up the good work

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks heaps mate.

[@Vincentdonnelly5158]

I laughed when you got the bejesus frightened out of you when a fish grabbed your hook which is the whole point of the exercise but when you seen the snake you had no fear you laughed at him. Fearless fearless Robbie ha ha ha be careful out there

[@robbiefishing]

Vincent Donnelly hahahahaha even your comments make me laugh Vincent. The tiger snake has killed a few people over the years. The potential to get bitten is always there but they won't Strike unless they have to. Usually if the feel cornered or in danger they will strike. If not they're usually happy to get out of the road.

[@rayhocking305]

love the colour of that stumpjumper that caught the first fish

[@robbiefishing]

Ray Hocking Thanks Ray. I bought it at Adventure Camping and Fishing in Wangaratta. That colour is exclusive to compleat Angler stores.

[@rayhocking305]

Thanks, great fishing videos too mate. Keep up the good work

[@marty8697]

Another great video

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks heaps Marty.

[@kencoleman111]

Hi Robbie, thanks for your videos. I have just bought a Simano cod raider and a Curado 200hg reel (never used one before). I'm new to fishing and have not yet set this rod and real up as yet but will review your video on your venom and curado. I was also wandering how that lure retriever works. Could you shed some light on that please.

[@robbiefishing]

Hi Ken, that sounds like a great rod a reel combo you have. Here is a short video of my lure retriever. My dad made it for me.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWWlmJp4qqyVjtU

Andy A Hey mate not really sorry. I don't fish over that way.

[@jessgarratt1539]

Well done mate!

[@mmmtea1263]

Also like you said, some tips of fishing small water streams would be great

[@crazyfishotezza6286]

I notice you using quite a fast retrive is that due to the small lure

[@MP-no8yy]

ah good old tiger snakes give you a good old fright in you have hooked on on your lure

[@robbiefishing]

MpFishing&Outdoors LOL Mate I'm sure they would. Hahaha

[@marty8697]

Your video are very informative 👍👍

[@robbiefishing]

Marty Evans Thanks heaps Marty.

[@preds2880]

was swimming in a mates dam one day when we were kids, had a tiger snake enter the water on the other side and come straight for us haha we all shit ourselves and got outta there as quick as we could haha was cool though seeing it swim along the surface of the water

[@bossgamer_sam7858]

Is the river under copeton or pindari good for cod mate?

This is just like the snook fishing environments I fish in s.w. Florida. Robbie... what area of Australia are you fishing in?

[@dtomic17]

Do you think it is worth while investing in a bait caster if your not particularly fishing for Murry cod?

[@robbiefishing]

dtomic17 Hey mate they're great for lure fishing if you're using big lures, but if you're fishing with light lures, or for bait fishing I would stick with a normal egg beater type setup mate.

[@dtomic17]

robbiefishing i just feel like I'll be limited with a bait caster, I have never caught a fish on a lure only on bait. I really need to go up to Shepparton and Murchison haha or particularly anywhere just to get a cod. If I do hey I'll send you a good pic. You have motivated me to get one.

[@robbiefishing]

dtomic17 Thanks for your kind words mate. Egg beaters are certainly much more versatile and can be used for many different purposes. Quite a few anglers prefer to fish for cod with egg beaters. My biggest gripe with baitcasters is that they don't have anti reverse. LOL Nobody else I know ever uses that anyway. hahahahaha just me!

[@johnhahn4679]

I couldn't stop laughing when you said you russle

[@robbiefishing]

Robbie just wondering I'm going to lake Windermere wondering about yellow belly lures

[@jednagel]

Number 2 stump jumpers are pretty awesome on yellow belly.

[@Brandon-cc8vh]

Ok thx

[@jednagel]

Spinner baits also work really well

[@robbiefishing]

Brandon Butler Hey mate Jed is spot on. Small too medium lures are great. Don't overlook lip less crank baits.

[@jakodenno9752]

jackals at windermere are great

[@ciferr1032]

Robbiefishing is this down at the northern beaches?

[@robbiefishing]

Dank Uchiha No mate it is elsewhere. I don't name a lot of places on social media unless they are large enough to handle excess fishing pressure, and this particular spot probably isn't.

[@ciferr1032]

Yeah i under stand mate all good

[@jetta1482]

When you say number 1 stumpjumper, is the number 1 the size of the lure?

[@maxl3189]

yeah mate

[@robbiefishing]

Jamie Bushnell Hey mate make sure you invest in some kind of lure retriever. When all else fails try a really light or fluro coloured lure mate.
