Yarra this morning

[Milk man]

Well shayne and I hit the newly crowned "C Hole" again early this morning. We gave it that name because its a cod spot, a carp spot and its a c*** of a spot to land fish as I found out this morning, I feel for shayne trying to land big fish here by himself haha.. We got there at about 6:20. I had a couple of scrubbies on a running sinker rig and Shayne had a cheese/ scrubbies patternoster double sinker rig lol.. There wasn't any action for about 2 hours when the golden window which seems happen everytime at this spot opened, my rod buckled over.. We both thought it was a cod by the way it took the bait and by the way it was fighting.. Turned out to be a 66 cm carp and it was heavy, we estimated it to be around the 5kg mark.. No other fish caught but we got a fair few decent bites

Very nice carp! I have never seen one that brightly colored before! Does the 'golden window' open around the same time every time you are there? eg. right on daybreak, morning tea time, when you are about to have a pee?
thanks

It's from about 7:30 til 9 ish, it's almost like someone flicks a switch and the fish start biting

It's actually still alive in that photo haha.. It's bleeding from me trying to lift it out of the water with my fingers behind it gills but it wasn't happening so ended up using the lip grips

Nice work. They are great fun, especially at that size. :thumbsup:

Was **** funny trying to land it. Hayden's not kidding, it is the worst fishing spot in history!!
Plenty of fun though. I've been there quite a few times now and only ever came back fishless once, so that's pretty good as a strike rate!
