North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

hi

two trips ago i was casting a lure into a tiny inlet of a lake ,no more than a foot deep that i spotted a brown trout in.

got smacked by this cod......who no doubt was after the same trout as me !!

no sure what he weighed or any of that cause once i got the lure out i put him back

scared the sh...t out of me though !!!

Oh my cod!! A nice surprise there BM!

Were you really expecting a trout to take that No# 2 stump jumper Mick???

Or did you know there was cod in there?

hi,

yep i use them all the time for trout ( im pretty sure its a small stumpy,not a 2 )

probably catch at least half of my trout on stumpies ,the trout love them.

cheers

So do the cod,BM.They cant resist a stumpy.. top bycatch! Stoked with that i bet. Well done..

Didn't have a dark line through the eye towards the nose did it mate? Bit hard to see from the photies. Looks a little like a trout cod, protected and rare ....unless you know where they have been stocked ....

prolly not....

Nice fish though on light gear

hi punter,
`
definatly not a trout cod...ive caught a few before around toc and yarra.there about the only places near me ive caught them.

as far as i know ( which is not a great deal ) there isnt any trout cod in eldion ????

somebody else may no if there is any stocked in eldion ???

thanks for the link though...interesting reading

cheers

No worries....I know of a reservoir not too far away from Eildon that has heaps! Just a bit difficult to get too if you catch my drift. Beautiful fish!
