Murray cod fishing with cheese and worms feat. Brett Corker

Brett and I headed out Murray cod fishing with cheese, worms and lures last week. The fishing was red hot, well it was for me anyhow. I landed quite a few fish made up of 3 species. Murray cod, trout cod and carp.
Brett had a quiet afternoon managing just a few bites. That's the way it goes sometimes when fishing. Brett has outfished me plenty of times!

jee Robbie that looks like a very healthy creek system great vid it's so good to see little cod in that creek haha we all love brett

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks buddy, sure is a ripper of a system.

Bloody healthy river mate.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate, sure is an absolute ripper.

[@erlinglarsen]

When I lived in Townsville and we would fish the freshwater for Barra I'd always have my shoes off with my feet in the water. You would get all the little fish coming up eating the skin off your feet in places they pay money to have it done .I used to get it for free sounds weird but it's actually quite relaxing 😂🤣

[@debramage739]

Yes, its wonderful

[@AndrewFishman]

Don't want to do that in the salt water in Townsville. The crocs will eat the skin right of your leg. 😁 I used to live down near the Strand, where were you mate?

[@erlinglarsen]

@@AndrewFishman i lived in Hyde Park I used to fish the Ross around Black Weir I caught 3 over a metre there.

[@robbiefishing]

Oh WOW, that would sure be an experience!

[@AndrewFishman]

@@erlinglarsen Some good ones in the Ross. I used to get down into the Mangroves behind Oonoomba alot. The breakwall near the river mouth was good for Trevaly and Threadies and I would go down to the Rock Pool at the end of the Strand most evening for a flick. Good times.

[@jimdobies7314]

[@alexanderwright9064]

Sitting in Darwin one day .I decided That's it! I'm going to catch a Murray Cod. Travelled to the Murray went into the fishing shop and asked what's good bait foe Cod. He said Cheese! I said I'm not trying to catch a mouse mate..!I catch Barrumundi everyday I'm not an idiot. Ha ha. Now I know you can catch them on cheese. I caught plenty of carp which was OK I never caught them before. Good stuff Robbie .!

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. Strangely enough cheese is a dynamite bait for cod. As for Barra, I've never caught one. Hopefully one day...

My pet Cod is about 25cm 4 years old, spent his first year eating about 50 of his brothers and sister's and around 50 catfish in a large water tank he's been in my tank at home for about 3 years, not the same as a river but that's what I know. Brett should make his on lanyards and sell them he'd make a mint 😁

[@TheOutbackFisherman]

Ha that’s sounds awesome Jinda, there make a good pet for when you get bored of the guppy’s 😉

[@jindatackle]

@@TheOutbackFisherman they are a pretty cool fish for a pet I think iv owned every kind of fresh and brackish fish there is at one time or another 😁

[@robbiefishing]

haha I shouldn't laugh but that is kind of funny. LOL I was talking to a scientist a few years back. He got a permit from fisheries to keep a trout cod for a demonstration. So he caught a trout cod, put it in an old bin full of water and threw a couple of river blackfish in to also show off. By the time he got to Melbourne the blackfish were gone. hahahaha

[@jindatackle]

@@robbiefishing haha yep that's what they do, my 3 year old dropped a gecko in there awhile ago., the gecko was in there about 0.2 seconds then a strange large BOOF sound then it was gone 🤷 like magic

This video remind me long long ago when my handcast got pull hard into river, handcast was floating to the middle of river, I had to swim it was smell stink the water up to my neck and got my handcast back the line was snagged further to the reeds had to pull broke line... Carp did it LOL

[@robbiefishing]

haha That sucks mate! Carp have a bad reputation for pulling fishing rods, and handcasts into the river. LOL

[@grahamwhittaker8844]

Every time ya said Brett hasn't caught a fish yet I replaced it with Graham or anther turtle Graham😂😂I've got a mate Adrain that fishes like you and I hold him in awe as well.10% of fisherman caught 90% of the fish is a lot closer to the truth than I care to admit 🍀🍺🇦🇺

[@robbiefishing]

hahaha Thats funny. You want to know what happened to me yesterday? I fished Greens Lake with my mate Rohan. I drove a total of 330km, bought my lunch and my tea, fished for 4 hours, paddled 6.4km in my kayak and caught 1 redfin 4 inches long. hahahaha That's a hell of an investment for 1 small redfin. LOL But... it was a great investment because we had a mountain of fun and it was awesome to catch up.

[@grahamwhittaker8844]

robbiefishing I grow spuds once which turned out to be gourmet,price to grow divided by kilos returned.If a lot of us used the same calculations when fishing then perhaps were just gourmets😂😂😂

[@kierank9522]

Robbie i gotta go fish for murray cod, they are such a beautiful fish...

[@pecanjesaaleksandrom1108]

Bravo care.

[@neilcondron8315]

Hi Robbie. I think those 15 -20 cm Murray Cod would be from last years breeding. If not then certainly from the previous years breeding. They grow to about 55cms in about 5 yrs and are able to breed. They produce more eggs as they get bigger and older. After mating takes place the MALE looks after the fry until they are a few months old. That's why there's a 3 month closed season.. Cheers

[@robbiefishing]

Hi Neil thanks for the great insite mate, I knew most of that but didn't know how fast the fingerlings grow. I also didn't know that the male stays to keep guard for 3 months. WOW I spoke to a friend of mine who has done a lot of university training in marine biology and he too said that those cod would most likely be from last season and that this seasons fry would probably still only be a few cm long. SO you both gave me the same answer. Thanks mate.

[@stephenfredrickson4722]

Hi Robbie, chicken breast is supposed to be good bait for murray cod.its used in lake eildon with good results.

[@T.J-and-Soul]

Cod reach 65cm by age 4 or 5. After that they put on roughly 1kg a year. They breed at 4yr old. They grow rapidly in the first 4 years so that must be last winters spawn. Vr fish website.

[@byronloveless2039]

It seems many people wait for the the big bites that bend the rod right over almost pulling the rod in however it looks like you strike even when there's a few nibbles. Might try this.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. Yeah I do that because you never quite know what is biting. It might be 120cm cod or a 10cm yellowbelly.

Hey Robbie nice vid. I’d love to see a video where you use big baits in the Murray . I use a huge 150mm slice of chicken on a big circle hook when I go there, you’d be surprised how many smaller fish go for it but ups the chances of a real big one

[@robbiefishing]

Hey John that's awesome. Absolitely it does mate, the bigger the bait the more chance you have of catching a big fish.

[@robbiefishing]

Hi Alex, I do have a number of catch and cook videos. I will definitely keep a legal sized yellowbelly, or a cod from a stocked lake. I keep a lot of redfin too, but rarely ever keep a wild trout. If you search "robbiefishing catch and cook" you should be able to find a video or two of mine. I even have 2 carp catch and cooks. hahaha
