Hi mate, thanks for watching. You can still fish in the rivers here in Wangaratta, you just cannot target Murray cod. If you catch one accidentally you must release it. Good luck my friend. , 🤞

[@lenlemaic7849]

Hey Robbie, you gate crashed a cod party they were happily playing and singing Kumbaya till you came along. 😂 Amazing fishing, Robbie, a classic pre storm mad hour.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much mate. That's exactly what I reckon it was. It was truly insane!

[@browntrout1156]

What a session Robbie. I was thinking about your Dad and the rabbit, it's like getting sharked in the salt water fishing.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. haha It is a bit the same isn't it. LOL

[@krissteel4074]

Wow, what a trip out to the river! I suspect maybe those cod were on the move somewhere for spawning and maybe found a gentle place to lie up out of the current on the bank where the current runs a little slower. Bit of food gets washed past them once in a while and eventually they'd move on to wherever it is cod go. Awesome to see fish like that in the numbers they are. Back when I was young, I used to use worms as cod bait, but they were a particular kind of big bluish coloured earthworm in northern NSW and they'd be about a good foot long and a centimetre or half inch thick at their biggest, most were about half that. Never really figured out a species and they were uncommon outside of sandy-loam areas with a bit of clay in them, but fish loved them.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. WOW I reckon bigger worms certainly catch bigger fish. We get really large scrub worms here that are a popular Murray cod bait. I reckon your theory of them sitting their resting as they move upstream might be spot on mate, that's the best theory so far. It makes perfect sense to me.

[@captainfrank01]

Wow, that was some session Robbie, great to see so many cod.

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

Fishing a storm front has always had good results for me. Especially in warm saltwater. Then the Mangrove Jacks get angrier than usual (they're usually pretty upset about something to start with) and attack like rabid dogs. Fireworks also send fish nuts and I've talked to guys in the US who like to fish in Florida when there's a rocket launch at Cape Canaveral, as they'll bag out in minutes when the rocket fires up. Air pressure vs water is a funny thing.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate, I agree 100%/ I remember once in the middle of summer having an amazing cod session, then the storm hit. The wind swung around and the awesome fishing just stopped dead. LOL

[@sjt275]

Hi Robbie , Bob from Bairnsdale here, it was very interesting to hear you talk about barometric pressure , Dad used to tell the story of how he and Mum were fishing on the Anabranch not much happening, but they could see a big desert thunderstorm coming ,all of a sudden all hell broke loose ,Redfin biting like mad ,sometimes double hookups Dad was so busy taking fish off Mums line and rebaiting he had no time to fish ,they eventually had to take cover from the rain and lightning but after back to nothing ,Dad said it was the sudden drop in barometric pressure that set them off , any thoughts ?

[@grahamwhittaker8844]

I’ve experienced this myself 👍👍

[@robbiefishing]

G'day Bob, I certainly believe that mate. I love fishing ahead of an approaching thunderstorm for that reason. The sharp drop in air pressure can often trigger a good bite. In saying that, to bake a cake you need many ingredients. Fishing is the same. The drop in Barometer might not work if the water is too cold in winter, or too hot in the middle of summer. If the water is too low in oxygen, or for whatever reason the drop in barometer might not work. Whilst fishing ahead of an approaching storm can be very good, it's not the silver bullet. We still need other factors to be right.

[@chriscoyne4827]

Wow you ain't wrong what you told me the other day when you texted me it's cod crazy over your way amazing. I bet you can't wait until cod opening where you will not see one cod haha

[@robbiefishing]

Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣

[@catherinekamoen6685]

So what’s the difference between Murray cod n a trout cod? They look pretty similar to me

[@robbiefishing]

Hi Catherine there are many differences. Murray cod have mottles and are usually more of a green colour. Trout cod have spots and are usually more of a silver/blue colour. The larger ones can sometimes be a bit more green though. Trout cod have a stripe through there eye, and convex forehead and an overhanging upper jaw. Murray cod have the opposites to those features.

[@catherinekamoen6685]

@ I’d probably have to see a video with the 2 of em I can’t picture them sorry mate

[@LeighWoolley]

I'd say they might be on the sand bar laying eggs robbie😊

[@robbiefishing]

Hi Leigh, Murray cod lay sticky tacky eggs on hard surfaces where they can stick. Usually hollow logs, rock etc... They then fan the eggs to prevent any slime or algae building up on them. It is hard to imagine them every being able to lay eggs on sand.

[@LeighWoolley]

@@robbiefishing thanks robbie

[@jamberoobigsplah924]

Hey Robbie how come you only use 6pound line?

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, it is easier to detect nibbles from smaller fish. I was targeting yellowbelly. When the cod season opens I will be using much heavier line.

[@mikeholt3229]

Hi Robbie. We love your videos. Can you show us how you detect a bite - not very clear in the videos and how do you gauge when to strike. My strike rate is only about 40%, due to slower reaction times with that comes with aging

[@robbiefishing]

Hi Mike, I just watch the line and the rod tip to see it moving. When I strike, I like to lift the rod tip up as the fish pulls it down.

[@SimontawMoo-bq1bg]

Robbie it you want yellow belly you should go to Loddon wire

[@glenbaker4024]

Hey mate. I think you might have been fishing in a cod spawning area, it’s the only explanation for there being so many fish in one small spot. What do you think?

[@robbiefishing]

G'day Glen, I think the whole river is a cod spawning area. Most of the rivers in the catchment are at this time of the year. Cod like to spawn in hollow logs, in cracks between logs and rocs etc. They need their eggs to stick to a hard surface. They can not spawn over sand, which is why I was surprised at the amount that I caught on this sandbar. I think they were just biting like mad ahead of a weather change to be honest. Those smaller cod wouldn't have been spawning anyway just because they're too small. I think it was just a case of being in the right spot at the right time,
