Good one for naming the river. The locals love you even more !.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. The old way of thinking by not sharing and helping others is a scarcity mindset and something we don't believe in. The Ovens River is a well known and super healthy fishery. It gets fished a lot through summer as it's such a beautiful place to fish and it will continue to get fished and the river will be in just as good a shape. People also guide on the river and there is plenty of content out there on this spot. Fishing should be for everyone to enjoy and if we can help people find a spot to fish we might be helping a young kid get into fishing and start a long time passion, create a bonding between a family, possibly help someone who is struggling with mental health, or just help keen anglers have a great day on the water. I respect your opinion though and there is nothing wrong with not wanting to share or help, but there is also nothing wrong with wanting to share and help others. Thanks for the comment, I think it's a conversation we need to have more often. Cheers Rhys

@@socialfishing_au Well said, some people think they own these spots

[@stavio12]

The locals love the visitors coming in mate. It's good for local businesses. Most of these people make a living off tourism so I think the more people that go there the better it is. Cheers.

@@socialfishing_auyou know why you have that mindset it’s because it’s not in your backyard Rhys. Why don’t you do more footage of your spots in your backyard and name it ?. Exactly you barely do it because you’re not exploiting your zones for $. I’m all for fishing footage etc but why need to name the area you are at ? You know for a fact there’s been plenty of places you have given good spots too and then you put them up here which have upset the locals. It’s nothing new to you. Just spoon feed them the gps of each log. Why do you think there’s so many dead cod around the area ?. Scoping and people need to for fill their social status with media.

@@Ozzierob Thanks for sharing your thoughts again, I appreciate the open conversation. As mentioned it's okay for everyone to have different opinions. We do and have created a lot of content in our backyard, a lot more than places we fish on the road. If you follow all our channels (emails, podcast, socials) you'll see a lot of content from Blowering, Burrinjuck, the Murrumbidgee, Tumut River etc. These are all local and I'm more than happy to help others come and fish these waterways. I've helped many people plan trips along the Murrumbidgee River. Thanks again for commenting but remember we can all have different opinions. Luckily for the young anglers out there getting into it, we are making a change and trying to help them, show them how to fish and also educate them on proper practices (looking after fish, respecting the environment etc). We will keep doing what we are doing. Cheers Rhys

Great video Rhys

[@socialfishing_au]

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Nice content, well produced and presented. Thanks for sharing, just subbed! :)

[@vaughanpemberton4467]

Good stuff me and my boys just spent Christmas at bright and fished Myrtleford and we we landed 11 cod and dropped 6 and got 3 trout at bright truly a special place

[@socialfishing_au]

Great job mate! Awesome to hear you got onto some nice fish on your recent trip. Such an amazing part of the world!

[@robjugovic]

​@@socialfishing_au you should add Buffalo River to your list!

[@jaycurrie8797]

Unreal cod fishing and such healthy looking fish. Currently looking at moving to VIC from QLD, we fish the Severn River in Ashford for Cod get a lot of fish but only small. Looking forward to fishing down your way.

[@michaelhogan1389]

Great video! Question how have you been able to attach the casting deck to the top of the inflatable please?

[@austindunn661]

Cool video mate 👍 Do u mind me asking what combos u blokes run ?

[@socialfishing_au]

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed the video. In this video we are obviously all running different brand gear. I'm running Abu Garcia reels. The Revo SX and I'm using it on the Veritas rod. It's a great setup for small water fish and entry level as well. 50lb braid (not that it's needed for these fish but we run 50lb for all our river cod), and a 40lb leader. I'll check what dan was using for you. He like to use Shimano Raiders, good cheap rod any any baitcaster reel. You don't need super expensive stuff to do this small water fishing. Hope that helps mate and let me know if you have any other questions.

[@kingmungi]

Hey mate could you pls recommend a spin reel rod setup. Just getting into fishing for Murray’s with lures and keen on your suggestions. Thank you

[@rwilko9525]

5-6kg fast taper rod with a 3-4000 size reel is a good start.

[@janosczovek8524]

Mate from where I Australia can be purchase the top water lure ? I don't live in Australia thanks 😊

[@MideanStone]

Too loud, too fast, i couldn't fish with these blokes. My cod fishing is quiet and steady. Each to their own i suppose.
