hey there,
good to see another fishing forum around! looking forward to reading more about a sport i am super passionate about!

Great vidoes, are most of your adventures landbased if soo nice work!!!!
-
howdy bjm,
not all are land based, i head out with Romen to Googong a fair bit as a ring in, but that footage is fishstrikes (Barry and Romen) so any footage i put up is always going to be land based or in the occasional Hobie.

thanks all,
im still wearing that grin, but i have to get used to the idea that they are hard to come by but when you do get them it soo special

its not freshwater, but thought i would put this up here too.
Down at victor harbor in south australia with the family and was able to head out and chase bluefin tuna on a pretty sloppy day before leaving. my father in law and myslef ended up getting our first Tunas. great experience and memories. one of the boats out around us as we pulled up had a triple hookup, and somehow with only two people on board managed to get all three of their tuna in!
good times, back to murray cod next week, but what a fight these guys have! memorable stuff!

cheers bushwacker! im all about catch, release & safe handling of Australian natives. Mind you in saying that i usually eat fish maybe three times a year only but when i'm in the salty stuff i don't mind a feed like the xmas tuna vid- still eating and enjoying bluefin!!

Hey Fellas,
Recently i have been getting back into fly fishing, particularly for the local native Murray Cod and Golden Perch. While it has been a long hiatus from fly-fishing for me (nearly 10years) ive found that waving the wand has given me a new challenge to focus on this season 12/13. Ive had some success three cod and three yellas in the last few trips out but usually each trip have been seeing fish if not sight casting to them. sight casting Murray cod has been one of the most intense experiences with the little buggers coming up chasing the fly striking it then disappearing without hooking up, then siting high in the water column waiting to have another go at the fly!! crazy stuff.
getting used to fly casting with the heavy 8-10wt gear has been a different experience- nearly giving myself a few additional piercings through ripping the big cod flys out of the water or having the wind catch them on the back cast and lodge in my backpack or hat. there is a real technical challenge getting the fly out of the water and then back into the water at distance without doing yourself some mischief.
got me thinking, do many of you in Canberra target Murray cod and golden perch on fly? and how have you gone chasing natives in the local area?
i know of at least three or four people who are actively chasing natives on fly and was interested to see if there are many more people out there who can share their native fly fishing hints and tricks!
heres a few of the ones i have got since getting the setup in late December,

Embed seems to work fine on a new page. Might be a youtube or the forum software limit per page.... ? ???

I used to do alot of fluff chucking but definately no expert. Tendonitis in elbow was giving me grief and I cracked it with getting the casting effective with other arm so pretty much I tossed it in went to spin rods. Only ever got a few cod on fly but did get some nice yellow belly, got alot of bass, saratoga and and sooties. Spent some time with Harro, saw him put some big flies into places I'd struggle to throw a rock....
Most used combo for natives for me was a 8wt GLX mega and intermediate line. Loved surface strikes so would fish this where ever the situation permitted.
If you're hauling bulky flies you might want to go to a 9wt line over an 8wt rod, it might help.
-
Some nice fish there well done ! :thanks
Going up a line class for the rod is a pretty common thing to do but may require you to slow down your cast a bit to let th eline do its thing.
I wish my first yellas on fly was that big ! Only half that size :walkplank

In that small window between autumn and winter where the chill starts to set in the big Murray cod begin to feed to stack on their winter conditioning. this gives anglers the perfect opportunity to upsize their pb before the winter shutdown. surface lures are by far the best way to target these voracious hunters during light changes as the chill sets in. Stoked to have gotten two additional meter plus fish this season making the season tally three
