‘Let's Talk’ BIG Impoundment Murray Cod | Things I wish I knew before going Cod fishing

[@withouttheodour]

Great video. Love the tips - cheers.

[@fishinjosh]

Thanks for watching!

[@V.a.n.d.e.r.s]

Great info mate, got to agree, the gear/info vids you do are really good.

[@fishinjosh]

Thanks mate! Appreciate the feedback as always 🙏🏼

[@neilwedlick9851]

Interesting info Josh thanks. Nice to hear some basics on getting started.

[@fishinjosh]

Cheers mate!

[@Ben_the_Codhunter]

Great info Josh. Interested to know which gloves you use. I have been through heaps of brands in the boat as well as at work and I'm beginning to think a pair of gloves that are waterproof, warm and durable don't exist outside pairs like my boarding gloves that make my hands feel like the michelin man and prevent the finesse required to tie knots etc. Also new subscriber here bud. Cheers.

[@fishinjosh]

Legend mate thanks heaps! Yer I think you’ve hit the nail on the head there, I’ve tried so many pairs now and just keep going back to my anaconda home brand ski gloves, there pretty thick but can still cast in the easily and most important they’re super warm. You can navigate changing a lure with a clip while wearing them but you’re no chance at tying a knot haha

[@PredatorTechbaits]

All good tips, very compatible with Winter Pike fishing here in Europe. Hope alls good!

[@fishinjosh]

I don’t think our cold would even come close to what you guys get over there man 😂 those pike look epic!

[@PredatorTechbaits]

@@fishinjosh Honestly, its cold as shit here on a good day lol, Yeah the Pike get big here, crazy cool and very toothy fish!

[@fishinjosh]

@@PredatorTechbaits haha I bet it is man 😂 looks like they eat cool lures too which is fun

[@PredatorTechbaits]

@@fishinjosh Yeah they'll absolutely mollywop a Miuras mouse, they flare their gill covers and expose their gills when angry, crazy shit. I mostly use the Berkley Zilla lures for them, been very effective!

[@DougKelly2828]

I think I've made every mistake mentioned here haha sure wish I'd seen this before my first winter dan cod fish. Only other tip is some of those hot hands hand warmers in the back of your gloves keeps the feeling in your fingers a little longer. 👍

[@fishinjosh]

I think we all have mate 😂 Those little hand warmers are the best! I remember stuffing them in my boots one trip to try and keep my toes warm haha

[@johnloudon2396]

Great info.will be looking at your next production.......

[@fishinjosh]

Thanks mate, appreciate it 🙏🏼

[@johnloudon2396]

[@thepreussnerboys8409]

Thanks for the infoJosh , l,m about to head out west and fish a couple of dams on the full moon, and l,m swagging it, but l think l,ve done my homework and should be fine. PS got my Uggs delivered just in time. Keep the tips coming mate much appreciated.cheers.

[@fishinjosh]

Good luck mate! It’s prime time for them now. Hope you slay a few giants 🙌🏽

[@gregryan5362]

Copeton dam mate?

[@thepreussnerboys8409]

@@gregryan5362 No, a couple of dams west of tenterfield.

[@ColinTrenaman]

Great vid josh, just wondering what fluro you use, wich brand and breaking strain keep up the good work mate

[@fishinjosh]

@@ColinTrenaman Cheers Colin! The fluro is 30lb Sunline shooter it’s been great so far

[@ColinTrenaman]

Thanks mate i am a braid boy and i am thinking of branching out, thanks heaps

[@mattshaw9779]

Hey mate great info and great job on the vids 👌 Can I ask where you got your champion xp rods ? been looking for one for a while and I can only find the fury sb rods available online around

[@fishinjosh]

That’s heaps mate! Really appreciate it 🙏🏼 I’m lucky enough to be able to get them direct from EJ Todd’s. What area do you live in? I’ll check with the guys if anyone local to you stocks them

[@mattshaw9779]

Oh nice !! I live in Adelaide mate And yeh please let me know if there is anywhere I can get one 👍 Nearly going to order somthing from the US

[@fishinjosh]

@@mattshaw9779 hey mate! I’ve done some asking around and can’t seem to find anyone that stocks the swimbait models online. Do you have a store that stocks Dobyns near you? If so they should be able to order one in for you. I had a look and EJ Todd’s do have limited numbers of the 795 and 806 in stock at the moment

[@mattshaw9779]

Cheers mate appreciate you going out of the way to try find one I honestly have never seen any dobyns rods locally but I’ll ask a few shops if they can deal with EJ Todd’s and see if they can get me a price and order me one in

[@fishinjosh]

@@mattshaw9779 no worries mate fingers crossed you can get your hands on one!

[@damonsimovic6638]

excellent Vid mate , how much fluro did you get on the 300 as I'm waitng on one to turn up

[@fishinjosh]

Thanks mate! It was probably 85-90m I reckon. The spool was 100m and it’s didn’t quit fit all of it. They’re a great reel man, you’ll love it!

[@damonsimovic6638]

@fishinjosh yeah it's my 4th Calcutta, bought the BFS a couple of weeks ago an going to give it a run on the yellas on the weekend, you using 30lb, an do you go straight to the lure because that'll be a big knot in using a leader ?

[@fishinjosh]

@@damonsimovic6638 shit yer! The BFS is an awesome bit of kit man, to be fair I don’t think you can really go wrong with any of the conquests haha. Yep I’m just running straight to a lure clip and onto the lure, I do know a few people that run 50 or 60lb bite leaders but until I get a fish chew through the 30lb I’ll just keep doing it like that.

[@yep.fishing]

Yes im with you, dont like watching fishing in the dark. Also in low light the gopros absolutely suck and it kight as well be dark.

[@fishinjosh]

The only decent ones I’ve seen are where people put a livescope screen recording in and turn a light on as soon as they hook up but I’d still much rather watch a daytime vid. You’re not wrong about low light GoPro either 😂

[@gremlinfishing4286]

Not really relevant to your video content ,but worth a thought none the less , fishing Pindari dam once a week before the cold temps set in my friend and I were catching a lot of large catfish that had been monstered by cod , top fin nearly torn off , sandpapered belly and various other injuries, we have seen this before in copeton but nothing like the numbers in Pindari, my point is a lot of anglers shy off big lures ,they are only jelly beans for big cod ,and will still get a reaction through aggression when their not hungry , and you are correct in saying cod are all over copeton and all other dams , there are no secret spots or lures , cheers on a good vid .

[@fishinjosh]

You’re dead right mate! I really don’t think there are many lures too big for the cod, especially when it’s a strike out of aggression. Are they eel tail or fork tail catties? I’ve seen the Barra in callide eat the eel tail before but haven’t heard much about forkies getting munched!

[@gremlinfishing4286]

@@fishinjosh EEL Tail , there are no forkies this far south ,probably the main diet as far as fish go in any of the dams in northern NSW , A cod in copeton would only have to swim 6 body lengths to fill up on catfish and Bobby cod , there are millions of them . 👍

[@TheHuntForBronze]

Wishing there was that hand wave f off as an emoji cause damn that was perfect

[@fishinjosh]

Would use on the daily hahah

[@maccathirtythree]

You're a bad influence mate - picked up not one but two Calcutta Conquests recently - the 23 31HG has been responsible for a few dozen Estuary Perch and some Bass. The 301 MD XGLH will be chucking swimbaits and surface at Cod in the next week or so down here in Vic. cheers

[@fishinjosh]

How good 😂 Definitely not a purchase you’ll regret mate! Good luck with the cod mission 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@LostFishingAus]

Talk to me, talk to me 🤲🏼

[@fishinjosh]

How’s the trip going man?

[@LostFishingAus]

@@fishinjosh had to cut the trip short unfortunately bro! I’ll be back that way Xmas! All the best brother 🤙🏼

[@harrisonmiller9286]

To be fair, I was supposed to bring trackies but forgot to put them in my bag

[@fishinjosh]

You were relying on the kamikazi to keep you warm

[@benhore8052]

Where are the BIG COD? oh that’s right it’s more click bait junk..

[@fishinjosh]

What part of the title or thumbnail say FISHING for Murray cod? Oh that’s right none…..

[@benhore8052]

That’s because there isn’t any like most Pootubers 😂
