Thanks Ross. I knew Grumpy. I still have one of his custom made fishing rods here. Hom and his wife were very close friends to my grandparents Bob and Joy Alexander. One of Grumpy's grandkids actually follows me here. I remember walking along the bank of the actual Majors Creek shooting ducks as a teenager, just up from the lake. Life was so much simpler back then wasn't it. Everybody got along. There was no ego, less Greenies, and more people willing to share the campfire and tell a yarn.

@@robbiefishing so true, mate. As a young bloke I got heaps of tips and coaching from older blokes on fishing and shooting trips. Kevin Law taught me the importance of swinging through the target when I first started. Like being coached by a guru of the sport. God I miss those days!!

Also knew Kev he did some gunsmithing for me years ago also shot clays with him and Clarry Richies...small world

Hi Ross, I'm Grumpy's Grandson. I'm glad I have seen your comment. I have many memories of this place also, fishing and duck shooting as a kid and teenager in the 90's and 2000's with my Dad and Pop who are both long gone now. - All the best mate, Ben.

@@robbiefishing Hi Robbie, we used to get as far up majors creek as we could in a tinny chasing ducks. Up in the everglades there was a 44 gallon drum on a tree that Grumpy used to shoot out of, I wonder if it's still there, haven't seen it for 20 years. Where the new ramps are now in front of the old shack is where the original ramp used to be. I was told Grumpy built it back in the 50's, took him a lot of work cutting into the high bank, all hand tools in those days. That ramp was in a poor state when i was a kid before it was rebuilt.

Thanks so much Catherine. Thankfully I didn't delete the file this time. LOL 🤣

Thanks so much mate. I agree. 👍🌄

Haha that's right. I have a tonne of patience for fishing, but not much else. Haha 😅😅

Thanks Butch. I am expecting a few people to say that about the second ramp. Haha

Thanks mate, wasn't it a ripper. 👍🌄

Thanks mate. It's a lovely place to fish at sunrise and sunset.

Thanks so much mate. 👍👍

Thanks so much Mike. Haha Those big cod are a favourite for many anglers here.

Thanks so much Wayne. 👍👍

Thanks so much mate. I wouldn't be surprised if they were blackfish either.

Thanks Dmac. 🤟🤟

Thanks mate, the adventure is the part that I love the most.

Thanks so much brother. 👍👍

Thanks so much Larry. That thumbnail was a screenshot from the time-lapse. Haha 😅

Haha thanks so much mate. 👍👍

Thanks for watching Jeff.👍👍

Thanks so much Robert.

Thanks mate. 40cm blackfish, the kind of stuff the my dreams are made of. Haha

Haha thanks Kev. Did I sense a hint of sarcasm on there? LOL I ALWAYS forget my net.

Thanks so much mate. 👍👍

Thanks mate. 👍👍

Thanks so much Cam. 👍👍

Thanks Chris. Many happy memories for you no doubt. I hope you're going OK buddy. 👍👍

Thanks mate. They were the good old days weren't they.

Thanks so much mate. I'm hoping to fish Old Man Creek one day.

Thanks mate, you're not wrong. It is a glorious place at sunrise. It is usually a lot calmer at that time of the day too.

@@robbiefishing I agree I’ve spent half of my life growing up there doing fishing comps at the local fishing club

Thanks mate, hopefully one day I can do that.

Thanks Greg, you sure can mate.

Haha You're not wrong mate. Especially this one, that rod was a goner. LOL 😂😂

@@robbiefishing I reckon the blioke who dived into the pond at Winton has been getting fishing tips from your channel, mate 🤣

Thanks mate. I hope your surgery goes well. You need to walk about 200 metres from the car park to get to this spot.

Thanks for the tip! 🎣

Thanks UF. When they drain the lake the weed always disappears for a few years before slowly coming back.

@@robbiefishing TELL me about it! Nhill lake is FULL of weed already!

Thanks mate, it sure is an axing bit of water. Plenty of structure.

@@robbiefishing it’s like a hidden city down there, and so deep in areas.

Haha you're not wrong.

Thanks mate. I had a great break over the school holidays. I only filmed a couple of videos in that time. I had a lot of videos banked up so was able to have a break while I released them. 👍

Oh no... What a pain! I hope it doesn't cause you too much grief mate.

Thanks mate. Absolutely I would, I really enjoy it, especially pier fishing.

@@robbiefishing LMK when you want to have a flick at my family's caravan on the South Coast if you want a couple of days, or weeks, on the coast. 😁

Thanks mate, this was the week before last. 👍👍

Thanks so much mate.

WOW An eel in Lake Mulwala, now that's certainly different. Well done.

Haha thanks Simon. There are people here in the comments telling me that I owe you a box of beer for the amount of times your rod holder has saved my fishing rods. LOL 😅😅

Simon, that rod holder is the best investment Robbie never made. Thankyou for sending it to him, mate, lol.

Awesome, well done mate.

Hahahaha

Without a doubt. All over 100cm too I reckon..🎣🎣🐟🐟

@@robbiefishing ALWAYS a carp. If you do not see it, it was a carp.

Thanks mate. WOW what an ordeal. I'm glad you're all OK.

Hahaha 👍👍

I have caught some great cod on bread as bycatch when carp fishing, and they gobble corn baits.

Haha I have done it on my fishing rod before. LOL

@@robbiefishing clever man 🤣🤣🤣

Haha It's only a problem when you hook a big fish. When you catch nothing it doesn't matter. LOL 😂😂😂
