Kayak Murray Cod Fishing: Beware the Tiger Snake

Рет қаралды 22,339

I went kayak fishing for Murray cod. It was great to be flicking lures while floating downstream in my kayak. Then there was this tiger snake experience. Although only a small tiger snake, it is just as capable of causing a human fatality as a large tiger snake.
This tiger snake was not aggressive, it was just a little bit confused.

Not sure how I missed this one, but what a lovely way to spend some time fishing. A couple nice catches, but also must say you are the only fishing channel my wife will actually watch with me, she just loves the entertainment you provide and just the way you go about things. Thanks and hope you and the family are having a great weekend!

In other news... I was watching a couple of your videos this morning on my TV so couldn't leave a comment. I just found out that I have some very sad family history in Mathoura. So I started looking for fishing videos in Gulpa Creek. I only found 2, both of which were yours. I watched them both. It looks like there are a few carp in there. I'm planning a road trip over that way to visit my family members in the cemetery one day soon.

@@robbiefishing There are Cod in there, but I would suggest Picnic Point. There is an area just right of the platform, but it gets snaggy towards the bushes and then over next to the playground area, have had good luck in both spots. Sorry to hear you have some sad history over there, but hope a visit brings some closure for you.

@@LarrysFishing Thanks so much Larry. There was closure before it even opened. I only found out about it yesterday. My grandmother's cousins all drowned in the creek along with their mother in a murder suicide. 5 kids and the mother. It was 1944 in Gulpa Creek. My grandmother had never mentioned it to me. She would have been 12 years old at the time, the same age as the oldest of the 5 kids.

Great work Robbie, Nice looking Cod. I caught one by accident a couple of years ago. The Mrs & I pulled into a Park in our van, had a bite to eat next to the river NSW (Lunch time) Then the boss said why don't you have a bit of a fish. (I couldn't be bothered, I usually fish saltwater. Not fresh) But to keep her quiet I put on a cube of rump steak on a tiny whiting hook with a small sinker & cast in. Wallop! good sized Murray Cod which took me ages to land, I thought the hook would break or pull out. But eventually got it in 2 kg fish took pics & let it go. Beaut.

@papeep2694 4 ай бұрын

Rapala makes a minnow called rip and rap and another called countdown. Each come in a host of color combos but I'm thinking you'd do well with the mirror blue over mirror silver. I don't know exactly why but it's in my mind that your cod might fancy the designs and I haven't seen any blue over silver baits in your box. I don't think either lure is expensive so maybe you'll give one of both a go. I'd be interested to see if the cod fancy them. Here in the states most predator species will have a go at them if you select an appropriate size for the species. The countdown is a more slender body while the rip and rap is taller from belly to back. Have a look, see what you think. I don't have cod available but I suspect they would find the Rapalas appealing.

@robbiefishing 4 ай бұрын

Thanks so much mate. You make a very good point, I have very few blue cod lures. I rarely ever see them. Next time I'm in a tackle store I will have a look for them. Thanks for the heads up. 👍👍
