Not what I expected for my first cod session...

[@bradleywilson8503]

Love the commitment dean'o, very informative as always , and you explaining that safety is paramount is the key to hopefully making all fisherman think that way.

[@DeanSilvester]

thanks legend, its just something a lot of us do without thinking about and others that don't hit the water as much might not think about at all.

7:10 Good safety tips Dean, thanks for including them in your vid mate.

All good legend, something we should do more often as video creators

[@docwheelie]

Old Goodoo been dead awhile! Would've come out of the creeks with the fresh. Yeah keep chucking them lures bud. Love this time of year 🤤🤤🤤

Going to be amazing this season! Lake looks very nice

[@peterdwyer6094]

Mate very similar situation for myself at Pindari on the weekend those bloody logs make things rather dangerous in low light

[@DeanSilvester]

sure do mate, especially in the fog

[@evanmiris5765]

Googong dam was dirty and full of debris a few weeks ago after heavy rain , spent more time avoiding semi submerged logs and trees than looking for a fish.

[@DeanSilvester]

bummer mate, end up catching any?

[@evanmiris5765]

@@DeanSilvester Nothing mate so much debris in the water the sounder was going nuts , they ended up closing the dam for a couple of weeks when water was going over the wall. Eventually it cleared up but only got some yellas, Roman got onto some cod with his new Lowrance livesite gear. Some of the others running the Garmin gear found fish as well.

[@DeanSilvester]

@@evanmiris5765 nice, i have heard there are some really nice cod in there

[@syoksaltyoutdoor2238]

Off topic: can i ask a question if you use fish scents what is best for barramundi. Im hunting them in brackishwater!

[@DeanSilvester]

i have tried them and not sure i can prove it does or doesn't work. I like the Pro Cure super gel mate. Sticks for a fair while to the lures

[@jrsmithfish]

Wondering what camera you’re using mate? Looks crisp! Looking forward to the winter cod grind

[@DeanSilvester]

The main video camera is a sony handy cam set up. About a year old now. The other cameras are GoPor 9 and GoPro max

[@jamesc5320]

Hey mate all the water is dirty around where i live. Was wondering if you had any dirty water lurer fishing tips. Cheers

[@DeanSilvester]

for cod? mainly chatterbaits and white coloured lures. in the dirty water the fish should be shallower and tight to the structure

[@jamesc5320]

@@DeanSilvester cheers mate that means alot

[@craigo472]

Yewwww.. cod videos are back! Haha. You’ll have to hit Copeton, it’s looking so good out there at the moment, there is a bit of crap on the water but definitely no where near as bad as that, water isn’t as dirty either. Went out yesterday for a paddle/fish in the yak, no fish but was good to get out for the arvo. Got the biggest surface strike of my life last week out there, no hookup.. was fuming, next time! 🤙🏼🤓🤙🏼🎣

[@SunnyDazeFishing]

Nice mate, can’t wait to get back out there, loved the vid giving some insight to how the lake looks now 👌🏻

[@DeanSilvester]

thanks legend. Going to be a cool lake this season

[@stevenraabe1531]

Hey mate ,another great vid.Was out there on the weekend and nothing has changed, still very dirty and lucky to have a ft visibility. One 83 cm was caught on a shrimp .Think I might have done 3000 casts lol.

[@DeanSilvester]

hahaha bummer mate, i am super keen to get back and was looking at going next week. Maybe need to give it some more time..

[@Jake_UpNorthFishingAdventures]

You know you're a pro when you're designing your own lures mate!. I couldn't see in the video, but how do you retrieve those glide baits? Is it slow roll with pauses like swbaits? On another note, that looks cold as heck man there's no way I could handle that kind of chill being a FNQer!! Haha good on you! 👍

[@DeanSilvester]

hahaha! yep and thats not even cold yet. Wait till later in the year when runners and reels start to freeze up. Yes just super super slow roll with some pauses etc to trigger any following fish.

[@Jake_UpNorthFishingAdventures]

@@DeanSilvester far out that's brutal!! No chance I could handle that cold. Thanks for the tip on the glide baits mate I've looking at giving one a go soon.

For sure!!

[@No_mans_flies]

Have you found the active target to be helpful? I’m still tossing up whether to get one or not. Haven’t seen a bunch of Australian use of it yet.

[@DeanSilvester]

It will be useful when i find fish during a feeding time haha! have only used it on barra so far and it is frustrating watching them ignore lures haha

[@zacmackey6079]

Even with no fish caught I still manage to watch all the way through every time. Thanks man.

[@evanmiris5765]

Good safety tips Dean , there's been a few blokes falling out of tinnies lately with their boats still running in circles and even worse a bloke went missing and hasn't been found yet. Life jacket and Killswitch lanyard should be mandatory when fishing alone.

[@DeanSilvester]

definitely should mate, especially in the colder months when the heavy clothes and cold water play a big part in not being able to swim properly
