REEF MAGIC CHARTERS Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 While the fishing was quiet off Sydney we went down to Wyangla Dam to try & catch our first Murray Cod. We had never fished here before so it was a challenge but the weather was ok and we managed to catch 9 cod (between 50cm-78cm) 3 x yellow belly & 1 x carp. All caught on spinner baits and stumpjumpers. All released to catch again on next years return trip. Cheers Damo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi mate sorry for the late reply.. we were only running 12lb line so they fought quite well. When you speak to some of the locals they are using 50lb + just in case that monster 1m+ fish grabs the lure. Cheers Damo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bessell1955 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks for the reply Reef Magic, I guess using 12lb as opposed to 50lb line you would have to use more skill in landing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
