Another EPIC Morning Session Fishing On The Campaspe River

After an epic morning session late last week, I set my alarm nice and early with the hope of having the same level of success. Armed with Jan Juc fishing worms, I headed to a spot I call "the tench hole". I caught my first fish within 5 minutes of setting up! But it then took another 90 minutes to catch a 2nd fish. The good news is that after I landed that second fish, I was met with bite after bite and the session turned red hot.
I ended up with a couple of yellowbelly, a couple of redfin, and 4 carp - not a bad mixed bag! (I lost 3 or 4 fish as well, 1 of which relentlessly pulled drag until snapping me off..... BIG!)
I was going to keep a 48cm golden perch for a feed, but the slippery bugger flipped down the bank and back into the river!

Hello Rohan I’m a Robbie fan through and through. But you Boys are Friends so I need to include you in my weekly watch. Love the bells 🔔 🤗 just ask Robbie about me I have followed him for a year he is awesome. So what can you do? Just kidding hello Rohan 🤗👍💪 Robbie taught me how to catch at Murray cod. Great Carp we need to eradicate those horrible things 🤗🤙💪

[@RKJFishing]

Hi there! Thanks for coming over to check my videos out! Haha yeah I'm happy removing carp from the river, and they are fun to catch as well!!

[@MC-il2ge]

Haha so funny Rohan what an ending to a ripper day!

[@RKJFishing]

haha it was certainly entertaining!! Thanks mate

The Yella Fella was Ya Best Release so far Ol Mate....Lol

LOL it made for a good laugh aye!

[@robbiefishing]

Haha that yellowbelly at the end is a ripper. Love it. Great video mate. Gee that spot is fishing well. 👍

[@RKJFishing]

haha it was a pisser aye! The first yella I've tried to keep all year and that happens LOL. Thanks heaps mate, yeah it's really producing!

[@John3w]

Legend mate, love seeing the carp pulled out of the system

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks so much John. I have fun doing it too! haha

[@tonymcrae7649]

Lovin the regular vids again Rohan. I accidentally let a nice yella go about 2 weeks ago, haven't kept a yella for about 2yrs, caught a nice 40cm one and as soon as I got the hook out, flip flop, back into the river 😂. Anyway, lovin the vids.

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks so much Tony! hahaha so pretty much the same thing that happened to me! I rarely keep a yella and when I do they get away LOL. I'll happily keep up the regular vids if the fish keep cooperating haha

[@LangeysFishingAdventures]

Great work mate that bite window was awesome that second fish I believe was a cod I could be wrong doing amazing Rohan

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks mate, yeah I reckon it might have been a cod too

[@davehendricks4824]

The only man I know who can complain about terrible luck and continue laughing and having a good time. By the way, what’s weird is that perch, (Redfin) here in the states aren’t found very often in rivers. They prefer deeper lakes. I’ve seldom caught them in a river!

[@RKJFishing]

haha thanks mate. It's all about the fun for me, I'm glad that comes across in my videos. That is interesting! They definitely like deep lakes here as well but I guess the conditions in Australia let them thrive in rivers as well.

[@chrisbender7399]

Wind, only good for drying clothes, after that, what a pain in the …….., and so, so much of it this spring.

[@RKJFishing]

Haha yeah it's been shocking! Here's hoping summer is a bit better

[@brentonclarke]

You have had some really good catches on the Campaspe recently. Well done and a nice yella for tea

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks Brenton, it's fishing VERY well with bait. It would have been a nice tea if it didn't get away lol

[@fredscheerle7592]

Great Vid Rohan, I've alway's wondered those Phantom Bites are just carp swimming by the line and pulling it with them.

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks Fred! Haha you might be onto something there!

[@craigparry5648]

That second one was a cod😊, had to laugh when that yella saw the knife coming, jumped out of the net and swam along the grass, then back into the drink.

[@RKJFishing]

I have a sneaking suspicion you're right Craig, it wanted to go straight downwards and it just WENT! I might have missed out on dinner with that yella but at least I got some good footage aye LOL! Cheers mate

[@ttecsolar2846]

Great day for fishing mate

Thanks Roo, haha yeah the rest of the day was quite enjoyable indeed!

[@AndrewFishman]

Maybe better with a Yebbly dinner, but thems the breaks, eh? TBH, I laughed hard as it made its break for freedom! Ya know if you were going to return it, it would have gutted itself with the hook. Right?@@RKJFishing

Good to see you set the alarm Rohan. I'd like to introduce you to my pet yellowbelly - we call him Houdini .... Nice session.

[@RKJFishing]

It's worth setting so it seems! Although I probably could have slept another hour LOL. haha houdini that's funny. Thanks Frank

[@peterhipwell4632]

Wonderful session those two were great and the colours WOW how good was that even the red fin were not too bad

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks so much Peter, yeah the colours on them have been top notch lately! The reddies were definitely bigger than the ones I've been getting on worms recently!

[@bussieboy7064]

17:23 happens to the best of us. There must be a lot of Reddies in the campaspie, I’ve never fished it but I’ve fished Eppalock once (nice lake). The golbourn and broken river where I’m based have 0 Reddies in the rivers . I think it’s because there’s soo many cod and yellas in there. Anyway tight lines for cod opening

[@RKJFishing]

There is a good quantity of redfin but nowhere near as high as it used to be. When I was growing up the only things in that river were redfin and carp, it was very rare to catch anything else. They have thinned out for the same reason you mentioned, the cod and yellas are starting to take over. Hopefully they can start to reduce the carp as well (I can hope lol) Thanks heaps mate

[@user-vo3zx7fo8h]

That was a productive little session. You can't complain about that. Awesome scenery, a couple of reddies, a nice couple of yellow belly, and a few less mud marlin. Very nice indeed, Rohan. Shame about the last yella getting away. Still great content, mate, thanks.

[@RKJFishing]

Thanks heaps mate. That last yella that got away made some good footage though so I can't be mad lol

[@mrFU]

That Yella said "nope you ain't eating me"

[@RKJFishing]

Hahaha yep he was onto my shenanigans!

[@bushfishncook2128]

At the start that might have been another PB hahahaha 😂😂 Ohh man sorry he got off but hey ypu made up for it with plenty more fish caught 🎣💪 Always great to see some natives in the mix amd some more muddies out of the system

[@RKJFishing]

haha that thing just took off! I suspect it was a pretty good cod but I'll never know. We'll just call it a carp lol. Thanks buddy

Dam the one that got away that would be eating at me not knowing what that fish was you lost. Only next time you want a feed have the mat further away from the water haha

Always just "another damn carp" that got away around my fishing holes. Even if there are no carp within miles.

@@AndrewFishman there just everywhere in the millions. Even the spot I use to fishing when I was a kid not one carp went there 3 years ago caught carp after carp

It was a big carp on a mission ;) @@RKJFishing

Great job mate got onto a few that’s all you can ask in a day but looks like it’s steak for dinner tho because the fish was to quick to get away haha good stuff mate cheers

Still waiting for you to fish below the weir wall at lake Hume 😂

[@RKJFishing]

haha there's so much fishing I need to do over in that area. I was meant to be over there right now but my plans fell through unfortunately! Hopefully I can get over there soon, although I'll probably be lure fishing for cod and trout before hitting up lake hume and below it. Hopefully someday soon mate

[@Rocco10104]

Haha what are the odds of that! Plenty of good Cod and trout fishing that way, would be awesome to see you get into a couple @@RKJFishing

Yella on the run!!! Haha shame about the feed. They reckon carp is tasty haha 😆 .. i flat out refuse to see if they are right.

Hi Rohan, long time follower, don’t forget the esky next time, that Yella was a nice pan size. Just wondering where is this awesome fishing spot mate, nice and flat.

I don't often bring the Esky, but when I do I don't catch anything worth keeping LOL

[@Warbr33d]

What stretch is this? All the Campaspe spots I've been to are rife with snags and too narrow

Try Aysons Reserve near Elmore mate it's really wide and deep there! The whole river has snags though, even the wide bits lol
