Fishing In The Berrigan Channel in NSW

Рет қаралды 34,380

Ай бұрын

The Berrigan channel is fed with water off the Mulwala channel, which is fed with Murray River water off Lake Mulwala. In this episode of my From The Vault series I am fishing in the Berrigan channel with my wife Lauretta back in spring time last year.
Berrigan is a small town in the NSW Riverina region, a part of the world that I really love.

Just drove past there on my way back to the Coast and the channel is near empty, but have always had some good luck out that way. Nice session on the Carp and Reddies, but several guys from Deni swear by that area for Murray Cod in the summer. The bakery in town is worth a try too if you get back over there. Nice job and hopefully you get back there again!

They are draining all the channels, the ones out my way are being drained atm, im not there as we’re travelling but family has said it is great for fishing as it is so low, the main Warranga wester channel is know for big cod in some spots so it wouldn’t surprise me if there was cod in there

@kevdimo6459 Ай бұрын

I know you have in the past Robbie, but I think that an explanation that these two species of fish are not native to Australia. So they don’t feel too bad when they’re hooked too deep or they feel that you’re being cruel just for the sake of being cruel. Which is nothing like you mate. Fish on my friend and keep your awesome videos coming.

Hi Kev, that is a fantastic idea mate. Thank you. Next time I'm fishing here, or in a spot where I catch both of these species, I will try and remember to do that for sure.

Hey Robbie, next time you try Chanel’s take your shrimp net and yabby net, there’s tons of shrimp and tons of little perfect bait sized yabbies, I found you catch way less carp on the shrimp and yabbies, the channel fishing is my type of fishing, the channels I used to fish are way smaller than that one.
