For some time now I've been wanting to target a freshwater cod. None of the guys I fish with target them nor caught one so it's been hard to convince any of them to give it a crack with me. I'd be sussing out some areas where I could walk the bank or take the kayak but this trip was organised with intent of using Wades boat. Our plan went to cr@p as soon as we arrived at our destination and ended up going through about 4, on the water an hour later then what we wanted but we made it there and everything had been forgotten. In about 10 minutes Wade snagged up in good looking structure so I done the nice thing and cast into it, 3 winds and feeling the spinnerbait nock a couple of branches I hooked up Out comes a beautiful 575mm Murry Cod! The rest of the day was pretty quiet with both of us catching a small yella and I missed another cod next to a big fallen tree. Looks and sounds like that part of the river gets smashed a lot with countless set lines We both don't think We'll go back there, defiantly have the cod bug now. Can't wait till next fornight for another session in a new area.Cheers, Mick.
Mick,Keep fishing and putting in reports, we need as many keen river fisho's as possible, and keep an eye out for the set lines too! Cheers,JD
