big Neil Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Not long to go before the Murray Cod season opens on the Murrumbidgee. In the meantime the target species are Carp and Yellowbelly. Went down the river this morning and got a few shrimps in the net. The weather was shifting from very bright sunlight to being overcast and I had to search around for where the fish were located. Lost a fair bit of tackle in that exercise but managed to find them and for an hour they were taking the shrimps. Managed 4 and kept 2, of around 48cms, for a feed.

Cargo05 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Another good report Neil. There is nothing like being on the water early in the morning for the start of cod opening is there? Less than 40 sleeps to go!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cargo05 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Yep, the closer the day approaches the more time spent playing with the tackle box, sorting lures, checking trebles, replacing leaders, checking drags, cleaning out the boat etc. etc. LOL. Great to be alive (and fishing) isn’t it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefisherman6784 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Good job mate Never knew you could eat yellow belly It's going to feel like years waiting for the cod season!! Keep at it mate, well done Cheers Gianni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Yep Gianni, yellas are pretty good eating. Been out early this morning for a few hours and the yellas weren't there. Caught a Silver Perch and had a decent battle with a Carp of about 10lb...was hoping it was a nice yellowbelly. Good fun anyway. Back to the grindstone! ROLL ON DEC 1st...hoping to do a lot more lure and spinnerbait fishing this Summer. Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
