Thread: Balonne river cod.

  1. #1

    Balonne river cod.

    Arrived at the river about 2pm Thursday afternoon, flicked lures all afternoon for only one hook up from a yella and not a touch from a cod, wasn't looking good. went back to camp just after dark, had a few beers and cooked a feed. Woke up early had a feed hit the water before sun up. First hour one hit and my mate landed a nice 58cm cod. Flicked along the river for another km or so bang onto a nice 78 cm cod, took a few pic's then released him to fight another day. Moved to the next snag only to see a good snag on the sounder, flicked a lure back over it to have another good hit, mate cast in to land a 63cm cod, moved across the river to land another two small cod. Turned around at the end of the hole and cast our way back landing another good cod weighing in at 28lb within 20 minutes, cast for another few hours for not a touch.Temperature was getting up around 40 deg. went back to camp packed up and hit the road for home.

    Cheers rossco

    Thanks guys.
    Yes Bear, the fishing has been exceptionally good out here the last few years since the 2012 floods, I was trying to get Wamjam out here last year, think he may of left his run a bit late as the river is dirty again.

    Cheers rossco
