Small cod changes my thinking!

Post by Rod Bender » Tue Jun 19, 2012 11:09 pm

Hi All,
Have been spending some time of late chasing carp in the shallows of Waranga Basin after dark. Mainly because I thought that carp would be all I can catch. I know these early cold months can be good for monster cod but I haven't heard of much happening. Instead of doing the 100km round trip to Waranga Basin tonight I did the 10km round trip to the Goulburn. Picked up this small cod on worms and dropped another smallish fish. From what I could tell my knot failed obviously due to me not tying it properly. Anyway, I am thinking now that it is worth chasing cod up until the season closes. I may also try some largish baits like carp fillets.
thanks
Jim

You did well catching that cod Rod Bender.Rod Mckenzie does winter fishing around Red Cliffs and Robinvale and catches the occasional large cod flicking lures amongst structure.
If you are looking for the person to change your life.look in the mirror .Cheers gus

Probably around 25 - 30cm max, not much more!
