My favourite campsite on the River Murray. We check out Yarrawonga Weir & camp near Echuca

In episode 3 of this little journey, we check out the Yarrawonga weir, watch a guy catch a Murray Cod & camp at maybe my favourite campsite on the Murray so far. Plus do a campfire cook up.

[@driftingingilliganexplorin4409]

Yep, I have done them that way before & very nice but that one was a mistake, I was looking forward to munching on the skins 😊

Loving the content - great review on the Devon.

[@driftingingilliganexplorin4409]

Thanks mate

[@geoffhunt6439]

Another interesting video. As far as Murray cod in SA you are correct, they are a protected species and shouldn’t be removed from the water if caught.

[@driftingingilliganexplorin4409]

Thanks Geoff.

[@grazzasfreshwaterfishing]

Got some great Drone footage of the Weir around this time

[@sailingseriously2035]

Interesting fact about the bridge at Yarrawonga, you may have noticed a dip in the bridge when leaving Victoria prior to reaching the main structure. It’s not supposed to be like that. I was told the engineer was so distraught that it ended up like that he took his life. This story was told to me back in the late 80’s whilst working in the town.

[@driftingingilliganexplorin4409]

Very interesting, yes I did notice the difference.

[@toby621]

So isent there cod in sa I can’t believe you have not cought one you should come back to vic in the summer and catch you self a cod mate 👍

[@driftingingilliganexplorin4409]

That sounds like a good plan Toby, will come up with the tinny.

[@benos4x4adventures49]

Unfortunately catfish and Murray cod are protected. hope they Relaesed it 👍👍

[@driftingingilliganexplorin4409]

I believe that the rules in Victoria are different from SA. You can keep them if they are between 55 & 75 cm & only 1 per angler per day.
