Hey Damian thanks so much for your wonderful comment mate. Hooefully Dan gives you a but more freedom thus Sunday.

@@captainfrank01 hahahaha Frank! LMAO

haha Thanks buddy. I am having an absolute dream run.

I'm not! More jealous of the COD he caught! Nice to see!

Thanks so much mate.

Thanks so much mate. I only just noticed this comment now sorry. I do my best to always just be me. I'm a professional at having fun, but not fishing. Haha I know enough to get by..

haha Thanks so much Ben. Hopefully you can get out soon. I absolutely love fishing. I love everything about it and try to convey that through my videos. I don't "pretend" to enjoy myself for video sakes. I genuinely love it.

@@robbiefishing thats why you have a following mate. Can tell your genuine. Ill get out soon, just a bit over carp fishing haha. Miss the coast and QLD fishing. Plus I have to get down your way to visit the bro after harvest season and Covid19. Supposedly some good trout that im keen to have a try for

Thank you so much Hemmie.

Thanks heaps Vincent.

Thanks so much mate. I habe another one coming up early next week. Loaded with fishing action too it is.

@@robbiefishing me to. 👍🍻

robbiefishing can't wait

Thank you so much for your kind words Vince.

Hi mate thank you so much.

Haha thanks so much John

Thanks mate. 👍👍

I choose the bury the carcass of carp so the ones with eggs aren’t returned to the water because carp eggs can survive for a long time and still be hatched.

hahahahahaha LMAO Thanks Frank.

Thanks so much for watching AND for the thumbs up mate.

Thanks so much mate.

Thanks so much Cam.

Thank you so much Mick.

Thanks so much buddy.

Hey Harrison thanks so much mate.

Hey buddy thanks so much mate. 👍

Hey buddy thats awesome. He sure is a champion fella isn't he.

Thanks for sharing, that is wonderful. I have tried eating them several different ways and on each occasion they were poor eating. The last time I ate them the.fleshnwas nice, but the bones were horrendous.

@@robbiefishing as I aged I learned that my uncle must have been a fillet master craftsman lol. It took me quite a bit of trial and error till I could get boneless fillets. It's a delicate process. A raw (untreated) carp tends to be oily and fishy in taste. But those few days of fresh water before processing really changes all that bad. Another possibility may be the difference in breeds between here and there? Also here I noticed carp taken from waters in areas heavy with limestone tend to be "skunky". Sometimes almost a sulfur smell if you processed them which trial and error ended quickly. Also waters with higher oxygen content (moving waters) produce a better fish than still waters. Now carp eating is not the norm here. More don't than do. There is an old "carp recipe" that circulates heavily here. Perfect carp dinner. Take a 1" thick cedar plank the size of the carp. Prepare the carp to your favorite fish recipe. Place it on the cedar plank and bake to desired texture. Remove carp, eat the cedar plank lol. So it's not a popular practice. Here we have many species of smaller fish like bluegill, sunfish, perch, an assortment of bass other than large mouth bass. These are lumped together under one of two terms. The northern states tend to call these species panfish. The southern states tend to use the term bream. But all of these are very tasty table fare with bones being the only difference. Some are easier to cut bone free than others. If I'm sharing things you already know I apologize. I'm fascinated by various cultural differences. When I first learned that New Zealand and Australia practice fishing for sharks from a rubber ring I was like sign me up lol. But I've seen those videos. Some of those fishermen take some wild rides depending what they tie into. That practice hasn't hit the US in a widespread way just yet. I know New Zealand has a name for that sort of fishing but I can't recall it just now.

Thanks Jaron, they were going nuts mate!

WOW That sounds awesome. I would love to do more salt water fishing but it is hard when I live so far away from the salt. Thanks heaps mate.

hahaha Probably more believable than a 70cm yellowbelly mate/ LOL ANd... THANK YOU sooooo much for my amazing gift. I absolutely love it. I just opened it and filmed it this afternoon. Hopefully it will be up tomorrow night mate.

@@robbiefishing Your very welcome Robbie

Sure is mate.

Unbelievable isn't it! Some people should just stick to hugging trees. 78cm... Yeah I reckon you're right mate, I may have guessed slightly down so as to avoid being accused of stretching the truth.

Haha your not wrong mate. I already lost one after I landed it... almost 2. LOL

Thanks mate. Haha and a fun one at that. LOL

haha Thanks buddy. LOL I even caught one twice! LOL

Hey champ thanks so much mate.

@@robbiefishing last 4 days just been watchng ur vids lol

MAY he Rock In Peace!

Thanks mate. That's a great idea and is what I do in populated areas.

Thanks Daryl. I would mate, but there's not a lot of yellowbelly in there and all I would do is catch spawning Murray cod, so I am happy to leave the lures off for the cod spawning season. If I want to catch yellas on lures I will head elsewhere, Like Lake Hume or Lake Nillahcootie.

Hahaha

Thanks mate. It all depends on water clarity and depth mate. Theres not 1 size fits all buddy.

@@robbiefishing it’s about 8 to 12 metres deep does that help

If its for trout tazzy devels are good

@@oldsault oh thanks man I think we have them I’ll give em a go if I hopefully get my kayak for christmas

Anything red for Redfin. Tassie Devils will catch you both trout and redfin. Red Celta's spinners used to be my go to. Always smash redfin. Also any minnow, with red will smash them. Best of luck!

Thank you so much for your very kind words mate. Just what a needed. I hope your young bloke has enormous success with his channel.

@@robbiefishing thanks I just realised I commented on your post as his channel oops sorry instead of as his mum 🤣

@@JJs_fishing haha that's perfectly fine. I just subscribed to his channel. Haha

@@robbiefishing lol I just showed him your comment he’s jumping around crazy saying you’re amazing you have just made his day after his donut day haha THANKYOU so much 🙏

Better than the carp devastating our river systems, carp are a blight in Australian waters

Might not be for you but a lot of people enjoy catching them, myself included.

@@robbiefishing all good Rob 👍

hahahaha yep!

Thanks Curtis, yeah I have been seeing it a bit lately too. I wonder if it has to do with them spawning? Or whether it may be some kind of rash?

@@robbiefishing yes i think it may be a rash. Over the last few years ive noticed it getting worse and a more common thing to see. Bit concerning but it doesn't seem to effect the fish?

Hi mate it is the Ovens River near Bundalong so it is back up by Lake Mulwala, hence the water being calm.

@@robbiefishing Very nice. Thanks Robbie. Good luck trying to find a day without rain this week for fishing ;). I went out to Goulburn river near Tallarook then at a lake in Yarrambat and not a bite...maybe the pressure/weather. Saw a Murray cray fish crawling on the rocks near in Goulburn river.

Hey Phil, everything is too brutal for youtube mate so it doesn't matter. LOL People winge if I kill a fish, release a fish or even just go fishing. LOL I would just use it anyway. I do find it very hard to gaff carp though. My other net has a longer handle, but is a smaller net. LOL

haha I agree mate. As long as it is paired up with the right rod it is great. It would be too light on an 8kg graphite rod. LOL

LOL I wouldn't even jump into that spot in summer. Hahaha

Thanks mate. Hoping to get back over there soon.

Hey buddy welcome to my channel. Sorry mate I don't know what area at all sorry.

Glad to help you out. Head towards Singleton and fish Lake St Clair for Bass. Head north to Bulahdelah and you will catch bass all along the river towards the Myall Lakes. Also fishing the water near Maitland in the Hunter will get you bass. If you want trout your looking at Barrington Tops I'd say. But you have Glenbawn not far away and Lake St Clair which are two prime fishing dams. Lots of bass country heading west from Newcastle

Glenbawn and Lake St Clair also have Silver Perch, Yellowbelly and Cod but are known big Bass dams.

@@avatarofpapermagic thanks mate really appreciate it and do you or anyone else know where I could find eeltail catfish by any chance also ?

@@robbiefishing no worries at all appreciate the response but

Hi mate because we are not allowed to release them alive given their noxious species status. On the bank it will stink and encourage foxes, another pest, but ib the water it will feed the yabbies, shrimp crayfish, water rats etc...

Oh ok thanks also love the vids

Carp is bad eating so may aswell throw it back for the ecosystem

Also are pests so your actually supposed to kill them

Hey buddy they sure do. There is a link to them in my recent blackfish video description. I forgot to put one here. LOL

@@robbiefishing awesome cheers mate

@@robbiefishing they look perfect size smaller than scub worms so good size for trout Redfin and bass thanks mate and of course there good for carp lol

Hey Jason quite possibly mate, there's some monsters in there.

Hey buddy I actually have a video about that coming out very soon, possibly even tomorrow night.

Alright cheers 🍻 keep the good vids coming

That would be great line, but I much prefer to bait fish with mono.

Hey mate thanks for the feedback. Believe me though mate, the way I kill carp is waaaaay better than the vast majority of people that just leave them on the bank to flap around and die a slow painful death. You're right, it's not a good look, but I bet the carp appreciates the sudden death rather than a prolonged and painful death. Most people just throw them on the bank to die slowly and then stink the bank up.

@@robbiefishing please don't think that I was having "a go" at you mate, and I apologise if that's how I came across. You're correct in what you say about your method being much quicker than the "fling them up the bank crew". Us trout fishers here in the UK use a tool called a "priest" to administer the last rights, basically a small heavy cosh, hard rap on the back of the head and the job is done. 👍 Random useless info for you.! Carp is the traditional Christmas dinner dish in Poland. My Polish buddy Michael got so excited a few years back when we found a fishmonger here in Edinburgh that had got some farmed ones in for especially for their Polish customers.

@@andrewwarburton3943 Hey buddy, definitely didn't take it as anything other than constructive feedback mate. I usually leave that scene out buy wasnt able too on this occasion. Carp get treated like crap here. I feel sorry for them in many ways. At the same time, I see the destruction they cause to many waterways. I have seen all sorts of cruel acts inflicted on carp. As for Poland.... I think I will stick to cranskys and let them have all the carp. Haba All good buddy. I appreciate you watching and providing feedback. 👍👍👍

Hey mate, its something that comes with experience and time buddy.

Haha thanks so much for the wonderful comment mate.

@@robbiefishing you're totally welcome mate. I know the feeling about having people from "carp countries" being upset at our national dislike of them. One guy who has a fairly large youtube channel that focuses heavily on them says he even doubts that they have any negative effect on waters that hold them. I suggested he looks at the studies conducted on the Murray-Darling system and how its biomass is now about 90% carp. On another note - I'm hoping we get some rain soon. We've had a very dry winter and my local spot yesterday was down to about 18 inches of water where it's normally around 3 feet deep. Good for killing tilapia but bad for the little natives in there with them.

@@TheCaptainbeefylog Thanks mate. haha It's amazing how so many people from overseas are experts on the Aussie eco-system. LOL I hope that you get some rain soon mate, that sounds quite dire.

80cm Perch.... WOW That is absolutely massive. Well done to you mum.

@@robbiefishing thank you robbie

and if the carp has eggs they are also being released back into the water ways

Hey buddy, I am certain that is just a myth. LOL Absolutely nowhere in the Victorian rules does it say that. It says "Carp can not be returned to the water alive".

@@alexmurphy4178 Hey buddy, once the parent carp dies I doubt that the eggs would last very long.

Well considering how infested our waterways are with carp that probably has alot to do with their sizes, although many waterways are getting better or cleaner thanks to more native fish being stocked and anglers catching and removing carp
