Murray Cod Fishing - Big Fish and Small rivers

Shit the light is good so just sitting in the boat about to cast I got both rods ready I've got the couple of dobbins here the 705 it's got the 80 smoke on the sub and then I've got the light bait to swim with my lit surface. It's humpback 90. ​​So let's drop the boat in the water and get it going. What is the first bite like? I'm about fucking 50 meters from the car. Look, the car up there was already hit by that good guy. He just missed the hooks. the hunchback, so keep throwing, hopefully, it looks more like that little fella in there, oh little one, these are angry little fellas here, the

small

est little cut I've caught in a long time, little fella looks cute, I have his tail very happy with that.

Okay, that was a good start, but the sun has set and it's pretty rough here, so I'm going to head back. Get closer to the car. A few bites only got a

small

one, but there were a couple of better ones. The surf section was hot there, so I was looking forward to getting back in there tomorrow morning. I slept well last night, woke up a little late this morning, but I'm going straight to the surface again. I'm going to go back there where I lose that good about 50 meters from the car and then I'm going to go up so let's get into it, look at the hunchback and give me a good dunk, early, man, I just hit him so hard, little pissed off, you're You're so angry, right?

That's cool, okay, here we go, he hit it, it was three or four times before it finally connected, but I got it on the lizard-colored humpback. Wow, okay, that's a good way to start the morning. Sips of morning coffee and a nice burst of water on the surface like that came back a bunch of times, that little guy was pretty pissed, but it looks like he's getting all the bites where the foam washes in front of the cool little river of the edwards. Um, you don't even need a boat up here, you'll probably catch the same amount of

fish

just walking around, jumping off the banks, but, um, I'll keep going up, try to find a little more foam, okay, I'll head back downriver to camp. and I'm gonna throw some underground smoke 80 in the new duck color, see if we can get a nice one, we'll just aim for all these big logs here, oh I got it, little buddy in the smoke, little buddy in the smoke, there is. pretty little

fish

, that super pretty one, there we go, little and cute, the first underground of the day in that 80 smoke and the duck crushed it next to that little lady on the log, there's only one small fish there, but man, these great colors, super healthy little fish in here, okay, this is the beauty of bringing the lady

fishing

, I can keep

fishing

here and uh, bacon and eggs are down here, bacon and an egg broken in the boat, sounds good to me , eggs and bacon in the river, above, just tastes better. the river for some reason, I don't know why I went to change places, but when I went to take the boat out, the trailer decided it had other ideas, okay, so ends another quiet session, just a couple of small salvage benefits, um, again. the bank is now making a chicken curry that looks amazing chicken curry and uh nan bread for dinner and will be doing it again tomorrow okay it's just starting to get light up there so head out for a moment of prime time on the surface, beautiful morning. nice, calm and cold, so I hope to get a bite.

It's a good fish. It's a good fish. And it has me in there. Oh no, oh, it's not good fishing. You have it right there. Oh, can I take it out again? That is the question. oh, it's coming, I think it is, it's coming, I think it is, here it is, holy smokes, that's good, holy smokes, holy smokes, that's big, it could be a meter long, holy smokes, oh, smokes, that's a good fish, what fish, what fish, shit, the leader is everything. I'm scared too, I think he's a meaty, how does that first thing in the morning make it all worth it, doesn't it?

Wow, what a fish for the Edwards fishing small water here, small lures, expecting a lot of fish, but you never know. what's coming and that's just amazing mead on the surface of the water first thing in the morning, first meter of the season for me and getting me out of a small water like this, just amazing yeah how good it is how damn fish so excited. what a cool fish, old, gray, river fighter, okay, actually, as you see, as you would have seen, the fish had me on a piece of wood, actually something, I managed to tear off the hunchback's bib, but never you would see it. but I'm glad he took off his bib and I got the fish instead of losing it, okay, there's the hunch, let's let this beast go, wow, what a beautiful fish, thanks for coming buddy, I've played with it . long enough you're king of the river again, excited, that's how you do it, thin water, big guys, let's get another one, okay, super excited after that fish and, uh, Jamie's got the browns we're going to get excited about even more, nothing better. that uh coffee in the river in the morning beautiful morning super excited after that fish now I'm going to have caffeine and get another one so fresh here you can't see anyone there's no wind not a cloud in the sky that's the same as I was Talking from before, you just get a little bit of foam and that stuff builds up there and they love it, these little guys are hiding there waiting to feed a lot of these healthy little guys in the system right now. uh looking good for the Edwards River, Blackwater can stay away for a few more years should be awesome catching these very ferocious little guys this morning, a lot of these guys will be on the top of the water, great, not used to catching numbers, usually just go for the big ones but i gotta say it's great to fish for some little ones and do things a little different, we'll go and see you later buddy ok the sun's nice and high now the jump's no more It's, the sun's on, so I think I might get rid of the surface, damn days, on the surface, get a couple of smaller fish and that's a good one, excited about it, but Jamie's got breakfast here, it looks very okay, so I think I'll have this little bacon, eggs and tomato. and then, uh, I'll come to a basement on the way back to the car and I think that might be it after that, so Jamie made an amazing breakfast on the river, French toast, bacon, eggs and tomato, I'll tell you what It's that too.

Well, at the river for breakfast, you might go running a little more often, Jamie, what do you think? Okay, wow, I think that's what's really fighting in the underground right now. Just give it a couple hours straight now with no joy, so. I think it will be good to pack up and head home to get out of the river in search of a fish so I caught some topwater action and got that big one topping it all off in the first meter of the season for me and I love it get them. On the surface I'm pretty excited because it was a good trip, I fished some new water, I've never fished here before and I've never fished a meter on the Edwards so I got pissed and I'm looking forward to exploring new water very soon, there will be plenty of fishing of cod will be made in the coming weeks or months, so stay tuned.
