Fishing the Murray River "Secret Spot"

My first time back fishing the Murray River at Cohuna since the floods. The river is now very low and infested with Carp.

Well done putting the fire out, I have come across this sort of thing a few times. Keep up the good work.

Big wedge tailed eagle👌

[@brentonclarke]

They are amazing to watch

[@brendosghanasenditsaws]

@@brentonclarke I’m used to them it’s the big sea eagles I have never seen before and especially around a fresh water lake👌

We got 90 of the pests still it was fun

[@brentonclarke]

Wow that would have kept you busy. They sure are a real pest. Nice work cleaning the river up!

[@Hellfire506]

Good work on the rescue and the camp fire bud! 👏🏼😎

Things you see travelling, great rescue. Let's hope he listens to you. Going to be some time before the Murray recovers.

[@brentonclarke]

Yes might be a few years for the river to recover

I can't believe someone left a fire pit like that, what the hell. I have tried a couple spots on the Murray lately with the same results, not sure why we are getting so many Cod now over here, but not going to complain. Looked like a nice day and you got a couple out of the system, just need more anglers to do the same if there is ever going to be a change in the rivers around here.

[@brentonclarke]

It is not the first time I have come across an unattended fire up there. Hopefully a few of the cod up your way make their way down the Murray

[@pdkonkol]

Do you have to look for crocs and snakes?

[@brentonclarke]

Haha no crocs but had a few close encounters with brown snakes

Hi Brenton. Good job with the campfire! The turtle probably would’ve appreciated a lift to some water but off the road is a great start. The first video of yours I watched was about using hotdogs as bait; please try ‘Primrose’ brand canned hotdogs. Don’t try eating them because they’re HORRIBLE but they’re good for fishing because they’re in a tin and last forever and they have the most pungent smell! Cheers mate.

[@brentonclarke]

I was surprised to see the turtle as it was middle on nowhere. A few hundred meters down the track I saw there was a lagoon so Tuttle seemed to be making its way there. Never heard of tinned hotdogs which do sound disgusting but will look to give them a try

@@brentonclarke canned hot dogs available in Woolies or Coles or IGA Plumrose used to make they were very popular in 1980’s my Dad used used to love them but me that’s another story
