Kayak Fishing For Murray Cod, Flicking Crankbaits And Surface Lures

[@vincecotton127]

Sunday arvo...having a few beers and not seeing a Robbie Fishing Vid.....and Boom there it is. The world is good again....😁

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks so much for your kind words mate. I was actually fishing down the river with Holly this evening. I had a feeling I would have no phone service, so I scheduled my video to publish at 7:15 in case I didn't have enough service to publish it at 7. And I didn't. LOL That's why it was a bit late.

[@coopersfishingadventures]

Awesome Robbie! I’m glad you got to get out and catch some cod out of the kayak. Keep it up buddy all the best

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Cooper. 👍👍

Always a good day when robbie uploads. Finally snapped my girst rod on a fish today... Side quest complete. (P.s it was a 94cm carp, and yes i did measure it)

[@robbiefishing]

WOW mate, what a monster that's incredible. Well done. Bugger about the rod though.

[@The_Real_Semen_Demon]

@@robbiefishing thanks mate. It was my first time breaking a rod so it's more of an achievement for me, hopefully it doesn't become my new habit hahaha. You should fish at lake weeroona in bendigo one day, it's got some donkey redfin and carp and has been fishing well lately. That's where I landed that beast of a carp. What's your pb carp? Mines 104cm didn't even know that they could get over a meter

Finally the cod season that means great content from Robbie.

Looked like a relaxing arvo/evening fish mate, the cod off the top are something else

G'day Robbie, just a quick tip so help stop the trebles on your lures getting caught up so much when together put cigarette rollie filters on the treble barbs definitely helps when there together in a container.

G'day Robby. Seriously bloody ❤ ya chanel. Having a few broken body parts, including no right collar bone & my right arm is bolted on I can relate to your issues with kayak fishing. You should check out the Pryml HD330 inflatable kayak. Made from SERIOUSLY heavy-duty material. Electric motor mount & more than capable of carrying everything for a great time out fishing. Many thanks for ALL the time you spend making these videos. You've brought much joy into my life watching them, especially on the days I'm stuck in bed through my injuries. ❤ your attitude ❤ your style. THANK YOU so MUCH

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much for your kind words Matt. A mate of mine has just bought one of those kayaks I think. I'm looking forward to seeing it. WOW that sounds hectic about your injuries mate, I really hope that you are OK..🙏

[@timwalsh2983]

Good to see yellas in that area again mate . We only seem to catch cod and troutys when around there in previous years. Been getting dozens and dozens of yellas in our rivers close to home And a lot less cod then we use to before the floods.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. I'm loving the yellowbelly fishing in my area. Haha I've caught heaps this season already. It's amazing how the floods can move things around isn't it.

[@allanotoole3304]

Onya Robbie got to love yak fishing👍🏽. I know your suffering with the bad back mate I’m battling a crook hip which has kept me home this weekend but DR Scotch🥃has been guiding me through 😊Al

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Al. I'm not going to lie, and I know it's bad, but there's absolutely no denying that whisky has medicinal purposes. I had a couple in my kayak this trip for the same reason. I don't show it in the video because it's not a great thing to encourage in a kayak, but I honestly reckon it helped with my back.

Awesome session Robbie, that one you missed on the stumpjumper looked like a really good fish. 👏🙌

One suggestion for you Robbie. By some clips and rope. Clip EVERYTHING to your kayak. If you have a whoopsie you won’t lose gear. Learnt my lesson years ago.

Excellent idea. It's definitely something that I need to get better at. Thanks mate. 👍👍

There is always expectations when you cast lures- an older fella that I used to work with used to fish with the old floppies Hang onto your rod they hit so hard

Thanks Peter, that is so true. I remember trolling Floppies and Mudbugs with my dad back in the 1980s. Little did we know that there was about to be an explosion in the Murray cod lure scene.

[@gregm959]

Hi Robbie, great vid. Sadly sold my kayak last yr because of my bad back, miss it a lot. Up in north QLD, we used to mix baby oil and dettol, Biting bugs hate it BIG time. A lot cheaper than Aeroguard .Cheers mate

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much for the great tips Greg. Was it a sit on top, or an enclosed hill kayak? I find the sit on toos like mine are quite good, but the enclosed hull kayaks are terrible for my back.

[@gregm959]

It was actually a sit on top, same as yours, even had a good seat. The rowing action was the issue, need to invest in a pedal kayak. BTW, you can use that repellent tip in a vid if you wish. Very handy. Rod Harrison told me once that they used thick coconut tanning oil in New Guinea for the bugs, they stick to it and die, just scrape em off after a session. Cheers mate @@robbiefishing

[@brumbyrider54]

another great video robbie, some nice cod no they weren't big but they were still fish. robbie is there a chance you can do a video on lures, eg, crankbait, chatterbait, surface lures and what lure to use and when ? cheers mate.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much mate. That is an excellent idea. Someone else suggested that recently. I have filmed one a few years ago, but I think it would be a great idea to film a new one..

Great video i enjoyed that alot Robbie .just wondering when ur using ur top water lure do you let it sit for a bit and then giggle it and then sut and then wind it in and then pause for a second then go again i use this method bass fishing it should work for cod aswell try it out brother and see if you get better results

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. I like to mix it up a bit. It depends on the terrain etc...

[@markwigmore2103]

Bloody accurate casting mate! I'm thinking of getting a torpedo 7 kayak 2.85 meters long, was wondering what length kayak is the best for lake and river fishing?

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. There is no easy answer sorry. It all depends on your size, the weight rating of the kayak, whether you want speed or stability etc... Shorter and fatter are more stable, but much slower to paddle.

[@peterlipsett4644]

Another enjoyable watch. I recently got a 5kg baitcaster and am wanting to get on to some natives. Is 50lb braid not too heavy for a 6kg rod? What is the correct weight for a 5kg rod? Also, what do you do if you snag? 6lb line breaks off when targeting trout. The heavier line would make this a bit harder. Not to mention to cost of native lures.

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, I use 50lb braid with my 6kg baitcaster rod and have no problems. I don't know what the recommended weight is. Basically, the heavier the line the less lures you lose. If you use too heavy it may effect the swim pattern of the lure. I find 50lb to be a good balance.

[@peterlipsett4644]

@@robbiefishing That should stop the line snapping. How do you get the lures off submerged logs etc? Or, do they just bounce off?

You’re still fighting with your lures in the box. Those hook covers make that a lot easier.

[@Dvlanlong]

Hey Robbie , not sure if i missed it or not , but what size Sumo Lamborghini are you using? Cheers!

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, I am using the smallest one. I think it's 110mm. It's not that big, unlike most lures OneWell include the bib in their measurements. The 110 is great for cod and yellowbelly, but if you're after big cod in bigger waterways you may want to choose a bigger size. The 110 is ideal for lure casting in the types of waterways that I usually fish.

[@Dvlanlong]

@@robbiefishing thanks for the reply! They are currently out of stock of the 110mm, do you think the 137mm would be any good in The Ovens? Also are you friends with a guy by the name of Lindsay Knowles? 😝

[@robbiefishing]

@@Dvlanlong haha I sure am. I know him very well, he's a bloody great fella. I reckon the nest size up would definitely work, but might be a bit harder on your wrists if you're casting. No worse than a number 1 stumpjumper though.
