[@colindyer4810]

Small but a good healthy cod hope they get a lot bigger for U , get Holly down their to sture things up cheers from grumpy

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Grumpy. 🙏 I wish I could get Holly down there mate. As the water settles and we can go lure fishing again, that's when she will start wanting to come with me. She much prefers lure fishing.

[@Samsfishing1970]

Well robbie i also comented on your other video but im back again. Great to see that you still got out for opening. I hope you get better soon mate. Keep up the good work. Also i saw a platypus and turtle in the murray at howlong today.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate, that's so awesome. Platypus are such beautiful creatures.

[@brucemoffatt]

Meow. 😂 I told my missus. She LOLed. Thanks mate, very nice video.

[@robbiefishing]

Hahaha Bruce, that's funny. 🤣🤣

[@wayneberry8703]

Great video, Robbie. Love the joke, lol. That water was rising blooming quickly mate. We’ve had just under eight inches of rain in the few days, she’s wet…..

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Wayne. WOW That's an epic amount of rain. We've copped it again this morning. Exactly 1 inch so far, and its still raining. As always they've had more in the headwaters.

[@Dmacs_fishingandfun]

Nice cod opening Robbie, the eyeomitoer is right on

[@robbiefishing]

haha Thanks Dmac. I have plenty of room for improvement this season mate. LOL

[@outdoorswithalex164]

I got up at 5am to go surface fishing with my mate yesterday We caught nothing but had a blast It was my first time seriously trying to catch a cod and i’m hooked😂 Keep the great vids coming Robbie

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much mate. Good luck with your cod fishing. Once the rivers settle down things will improve. 👍👍

[@DragonRyder2979]

My biggest carp was two weeks ago. 85cm, Fought like Tyson in his prime. 4 pound line on a 4kg rod. Was incredible!!! Also managed a 38cm Callop. Paringa caravan park! So good. Love your excitement vibes in your vids!!

[@robbiefishing]

WOW That is unreal mate. My biggest is 78cm and I have caught three that size. I just can not beat it. LOL

[@markhopkins9925]

Thanks Robbie , as always enjoyed the video . On the train going to work and enjoy watching your fishing clips to start the day . Well done on the first cod . Keep ‘em coming !!👍👍🍻🍻

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Mark. I have left myself plenty of room to upgrade this season. haha I hope you have a great day mate.

[@StanthorpeGarbo]

Nice Video Robbie 👍 Nice Murray Cod

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much mate.

[@aaronfowkes2117]

Another excellent video Robbie! Have a good night mate. Cheers 👍

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much mate. 👍👍

[@Michael_Lane_Fishing]

Good adapting to conditions Robbie. Not a lure in sight there... maybe for a while. The next 5 days has another +50mm in the upper reaches of Ovens catchment...

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Mick, yeah you're not wrong mate. I did cast a OneWell around for 5 minutes. I just had too. LOL 😂😂

[@tysonbartlett3410]

Hey Robbie this is an amazing video

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much mate. 👍👍

[@Danscrazyadventures]

Very good fishing 🎣👍

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate..👍👍

[@kevdimo6459]

Well done mate, congratulations on making me laugh with your Meow joke. It’s one of your best! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks mate. I love a good Dad joke. LOL Or in this case, cat joke!

[@neilcondron8315]

Same result that I had for my Cod opening. Murrumbidgee River quite high and one very healthy Murray Cod of 64cms...released to fight another day. Improvement required.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Neil. haha I could have only dreamed of a 68cm cod. I think your result was better than mine. Our numbers were the same but your quality doubled mine. LOL Well done mate.

[@robertcotton9091]

Great to watch as always Mate, keep the jokes coming Haha :)

[@robbiefishing]

haha thanks mate. Dad jokes are the spice of life. LOL

[@peterhipwell4632]

Caught a cod on Cod opening that’s great We have had 3 inches of rain last five days

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Pete. It's the same here mate. There's water laying around everywhere. The mozzies are going to be horrendous in the coming weeks.

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

Mate, the tide sure comes in slow there! lol

[@robbiefishing]

hahaha

[@gusmcintosh7632]

Great vid Robbie hope your back gets a bit better so you can throw some lures around in the kayak

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. I'm ready to do a bit of lure fishing, but sadly I think the kayak session will be a while away yet.

[@HarryRawle]

Hey Robbie your fishing videos are great and yabbieing 🎉

[@robbiefishing]

Thank you so much for your kind words Harry.

[@gregorybeeton5786]

I went fishin yesterday caught 3 2lb trout on the Goulburn very low I was disappointed about that fished from 6 am to 8pm breakfast lunch an tea on the river a great day 😊

[@robbiefishing]

WOW what an epic day..well done mate.

[@roamingbarber3100]

Lets go been waiting for this video! going out sunday hoping to get onto a fish or even my first yellowbelly

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. Good luck on Sunday. Choose your location wisely, there's a lot of water around my area.

[@roamingbarber3100]

@@robbiefishing Going to fish lake albert in wagga since its my local its been really low but now that we've had some good rain should be back to normal

[@AchievementNostalgia]

Awesome as usual, I wanna start fresh water fishing here in QLD but don’t know where to start 😂

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. I've never even been to QLD so I'm not much help to you sorry. LOL

[@AchievementNostalgia]

@ No problem mate I’m sure it’s all basically the same aye we don’t have trout or Redfin up here but there’s definitely murrie cod and gold n silver and spangled perch. I hope to make some content out of it!

[@alancampbell8760]

Liked that head bangin music

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Alan.

[@AndrewCastlemaine]

All the early nibbles on the cheese might have been a mouse in SCUBA gear 😀👍

[@robbiefishing]

haha it would need to be a brave mouse to swim down there. LOL Anything around that size is living on borrowed time at the bottom of this deep hole. LOL

[@khailebziday8537]

I tried my first cod session at cairn Curren reservoir with my kayak ended up doing an awesome yellowbelly session. caught 8 released 4

[@robbiefishing]

WOW that's so awesome, well done mate. 👍👍

[@khailebziday8537]

@ thanks I just picked a patch of snags I like the look of near the shallows and tossed out a set running sinker rig with 2 jan juc worms and a 1.5hr fun session of yellowbelly between 28-42cm

[@krissteel4074]

I was wondering with the weather down your way how that would turn out, got a cod though! Here I was thinking that on a rising river the carp might have found somewhere else to be but that was a couple of really impressive sized fish

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate, they certainly were big weren't they. Monster mud Marlin.

[@captainfrank01]

Tricky conditions Robbie, but at least you got one cod. Hope you're not still there ...

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks Frank, no mate I had to come home. LOL 😂

[@captainfrank01]

@@robbiefishing 😁

[@Matto_Harvo]

Tuned in for the cod; stayed for the dad joke

[@nimrod4400]

Yeah got to love the Rising water 😮‍💨😬 It makes the fishing harder

[@robbiefishing]

Yeah I noticed that. LOL. 🤣🤣 It was never going to be an easy opening was it. LOL 😂

[@bushfishncook2128]

Putting your back into it, might not be the best idea after it playing up recently... Good stuff getting onto your first cod of the season and removing a few carpios amigo 😅 Take it easy out there meow, we don't want you injured again. Keep up the awesome work as always legend

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks mate. 👍👍

[@tysonbartlett3410]

Good job

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate.

[@hiddentruth1982]

I always used 10 pound test for everything but that's me. 30 pound is way too heavy for me. Though I did buy some 50 pound to use after I lost the hugest bass I ever hooked in to due to line breaking. I went back to the 10 pound test.

[@robbiefishing]

Hey mate 10lb is a great size. Slightly heavy for my liking, but plenty of strength. I might go up to 8lb next time. The problem that I have is that as my line gets heavier I need to use a heavier sinker and I lose a bit of the "finesse" feel. It's OK when im catching cod or carp, but not great when I'm catching redfin in a lake,.

[@joshsfishing-ni3lf]

very nice robbie

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate.

[@iUsedToBC0OL]

On the cheese!!!

[@robhunter7236]

Don't ask Meow? Really? There was lifetimes supply of Corn in that one Robbie :) With most of my fishing I use Braid of around 30 to 40lb and simply use 6lb, 8lb, 10lb and 20lb trace depending on species and expectations. It makes one familiar outfit do many things. I even have different traces pre tied usually during wet spells and when I'm too darned crook to move (you know that one right?) Anything to increase the enjoyment and reduce labor :P

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks Rob. As I caught no more fish after telling that joke I almost left it out, but I thought "stuff it... It's too good to waste" so I left it in. 😅😅😅🤣

[@siquinnell6068]

Nice one mate, well they say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, I was once a “ won’t fish with anything less than 15 to 20 pound line “ man, now I fish with line not even half that and you know what ? I catch more fish and have way more fun because it’s more challenging, you have to play the fish rather than just winching them in, hopefully in your next Mail time you will get some photos of my 90 and 95 cm carp I got at walwa recently

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. WOW that's crazy. I can't wait to see those photos. What a monster.

[@danold6443]

Hey Robbie, what is your prefered cheese for green fish!

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, I like Tasty cheese at this time of the year and mozzarella in winter. I find the mozzarella is harder to keep on the hook when the water is a bit warmer.

[@haroldtakahashi8875]

💛...g'day...good eye..

[@nimrod4400]

Light lines more fun 🤣🤣

[@robbiefishing]

Absolutely, especially with big carpio's.

[@rodneylloydnason7455]

Another bloody good video mate.... I went out Sunday night about 10k west of Corowa launched the boat and caught nothing.... Lots of boats about, tried soft plastics, hard bodies and worms....nothing.... Will have to find another place to fish other than the Murray...it's over fished every season...talked to many blokes who had caught and kept their limit all on a stretch of water about prolly 10km long.... I must be doing something wrong... dunno...penny for your thoughts mate..

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. I drove over the Murray at Corowa and Albury yesterday. It looks terrible. Height wise it looks great. It's lower than everywhere else, but quality wise the water just look filthy. They've put the plug in Lake Hume so essentially you are fishing in the Kiewa River, but in the Murray channel. It's just so unnatural. Once this rain slows down and the rivers drop they will need to let water out of Lake Hume again, that should fire the fish up a bit I reckon.

[@LangeysFishingAdventures]

Can you do a video on how to read a barometer in the weather I have no clue

[@cboss5629]

great video. what river are you fishing.

[@hiddentruth1982]

I would say that is a few inches from flooding.

[@robbiefishing]

Yeah, the official flood level is still close to 80cm above that level. I would call this "full". haha

[@LiamGifford]

Where are the bells ahahah

[@robbiefishing]

haha I only use them when I have to.

[@alecedwards3456]

Hey Robbie which lake that you have fished do you think is the deepest? And did you know that Australia’s deepest lake overall is in Tasmania which is lake st clair which at its deepest point it is 215 meters (705ft)

[@robbiefishing]

WOW mate I did not know that. The deepest lake I have ever fished is Lake Dartmouth.

[@Sweaty697]

Robbie can you go fishing at manus lake its good for redfin

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate it's been on my to-do list for a long time. I need to get up there when my back is better.

[@HarryRawle]

Ok🎉❤

[@cordellkent4790]

What is the preferred (by cod) cheese to use as bait please?

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, they seem to like tasty cheese.

[@clintonroppolo1709]

as many carp as you catch you should do a catch and cook.Friend I grew up with used to cook them in cakes like salmon cakes The Asian (jumping carp) here in the states are used in the pet food industry as well as human consumption.

[@robbiefishing]

I've tried cooking them a few times and they are so full of bones that it is crazy!

[@paulelliott2151]

Hi mate what spec rod do you use for bait fishing cod and size reel I want to get a spin outfit for bait fishing cod

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, you're best off popping I to your local tackle store. I don't even know the specs off my rod and reel that I was using in this video. Im pretty sure the reel isn't meant to have 50lb braided line on it. Haha The old rod is missing a runner and has had 6 inches hacked off the end. LOL 😂😂😂

[@WilliamSayers-k5d]

Hi robbie it is zac thank you for that bag at school I hope you can visit me again

[@robbiefishing]

G'day Zac, it was my pleasure mate. I hope you found it useful. I am sure that we will catch up again buddy.

[@WillHuty]

Me and my dad went out and he got a 70cm cod

[@VICfishing]

robbie can you pls do a video seeing what catches more, red meat vs chicken vs bacon vs salami, it will be battle of the meats

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, thanks for the great suggestion. 👍👍

[@jeremym1314]

For the red meat use kangaroo I heard it works well

[@paulsalvestrin7253]

More rain coming over the next week. Rivers are going to be flooding shortly.

[@robbiefishing]

Yep you're not wrong mate. They're pretty full now before the next lot of rain.

[@HarryRawle]

Hey Robbie can you make a another yabbieing video tomorrow please 🎉❤

[@robbiefishing]

Hi Harry, thanks mate. I'm not sure when I will get out yabbying again, but I will be sure to get out soon.

[@catherinekamoen6685]

😂😂 did you actually eat the cat food for breakfast?

[@robbiefishing]

Haha no, definitely not. I probably had muffins with Vegemite on them. Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@catherinekamoen6685]

@ that would have been hilarious if you did but the joke did make me giggle thanks it was interesting watching the water rise I didn’t know they did that until I moved to wang

[@HarryRawle]

Please Robbie

[@HarryRawle]

🎉

[@HarryRawle]

Can you make another yabbieing video tomorrow please

[@robbiefishing]

It won't be tomorrow mate, but I will be yabbying again soon. Probably not for another couple of weeks though.
