First Murray cod
G'day guys,
Well I'm stuck down in Albury/wodonga for about a month, so when a mate asked me if I'd like to go for a fish with him I jumped straight on it. Well off to the local BCF I went and picked up a little spin combo with a stradic fj 4000 size reel and a shimano raider spin rod, I loaded it with 20lb fins grabbed some 40lb jinki leader a hand full of spinner baits and I was set. Plus I got my $6 48hr fishing licence.......
Anyway out to one of my mates property's for a bit of a walk along some steep banks. It was all long casts to snags and slow retrieves along the bottom, and we ended up landing 3 cod and a massive yellow belly and dropping two more fish for the day, it was all catch and release with barbless hooks but had to be my best ever southern fishing trip
