Melton Reservoir - Cracking The Code | Part 1

#murraycod #yellowbelly #redfin #goldenperch #shimano #stumpjumper
Welcome to the first part of a special two part series I have created on Melton Reservoir! Melton Reservoir is located on the southern outskirts of the Melton township and thanks to the efforts of ‪@VictorianFisheriesAuthority‬ has become an awesome recreational fishing destination! In this first part I am discussing tactics for land based fishing, kayak fishing as well as gear and lures that I use to target the species in there! I really hope you enjoy it as I have been working very hard on this! :)

[@charliet4752]

Great information well your the man jordy. Well said looking forward for part 2. See you on the water old charlie with my feathered friends

[@Landbasedwithlures]

Can't wait to get down there soon just waiting for my friend to finish he's kayak great video again

[@jakepartridge2606]

hey mate, how do you find spinner baits? worth trolling with? cheers

[@jordythebassist]

Hey mate, I wouldn't troll them personally as they will want to lift their way up the water column instead of dive down like Stumpjumpers would. However I do know a few people that have caught some quality fish there just casting them around the edges

[@LarrysFishing]

Some terrific information Jordy, makes me want to jump in the car and make the road trip.

[@jordythebassist]

Cheers Larry! You've got the kayak now so it would be well worth it 😎

[@treknoffroad]

Very thorough video mate! Will be very helpful to many fishoes heading down there for the first time! It is really great to see it fishing so well!

[@jordythebassist]

Cheers mate; thanks for putting your lure tips in as well!

[@treknoffroad]

@@jordythebassist my pleasure. You gave me an idea for my next trip out there. Chasing yellas and cod on plastics!!

[@lucky4meyeah]

Can we fish with a tiny in the reservoir?

[@jordythebassist]

Hey mate, you can but you're technically supposed to launch from the ski club boat ramp which requires membership

[@bushfishncook2128]

On it now keen as legend 💪

[@bushfishncook2128]

The best way to kayak is with an electric motor like mine 😅 But in all honesty I actually still paddle a lot, I just really enjoy it for some reason... Now the best tip you gave I reckon was for bank fishing, "COVER GROUND" I mean you can rock up to a spot and catch heaps, but if you aren't catching, you need to cover ground and find the fish 👍 I run 40lb but I reckon 30lb is fine for cod, I'm just being hopeful of a metery haha I like leader for cod, just because if the lure goes back far in the mouth, that raspy mouth will even rub through 80lb braid in a few seconds... The size 1 stumpy hooked my first big cod on lure but I lost him unfortunately, I reckon some better trebz would be better... Some great tips and advice all in all in this video bro, I think the one thing I'm going to do is, step down to the size 2 stumpy 👍 Keep up the awesome work mate Looking forward to part 2
