Reply With QuoteMate's first cod
Ended up in my old haunt of Canberra over the long weekend so went to see if my old mates were still in the Bidgee - answer yes [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]
Caught three cod (but no Goldens which was surpising considering they used to dominate at the site) ~2, 6 & 12 kg

"The underlying spirit of angling is that the skill of the angler is pitted against the instinct and strength of the fish and the latter is entitled to an even chance for it's life."

Nice catch!

Jeremy,
all were caught on spinnerbaits - mainly cheap Kokodas plus one on an Aussie made Bassman.
I hardly use anything else for cod, goldens or bass these days unless surface fishing. I use to be fixated on hard bodied, deep diving lures with a good wobble (i.e. Hot n Tots) but the old man visited me in Canberra once and bought his bass spinner bait lure collection with him from Queensland and thrashed me in terms of fish caught - so I've been a convert ever since!!

nice fish mate
What type of spin outfit are you using.
Jeremy,
been wanting to find out the blank type before I replied to you but havn't got into the right town (Ballina) yet to confirm - is a custom made stick ( I think maybe a Aussie blank? - pacific composites) made by a guy in Ballina NSW, with a Shimano Symetre reel (the most expensive spinning reel I've ever purchased - and worth every cent!) spooled with 4 kg grey fireline - lovely rig for the sweetwater in northern NSW (where I live) - though I do get bricked by the occassional large bass or eastern cod. Have landed ~20kg Murray Cod on this rig fishing from a kayak where the fish could be steered clear of trouble to safe landing pads.

J.Nelson
Hey jeremy
do you have a pic of the tiger trout??? also where did u get it??? to my knowledge the only place in australia they stock them is in a dam in tassie north of launceston. but anyway they arent a true species of fish anyway they are just a hybrid brown/brook trout. but itd be good to see a pic of it. also how big was it??
cheers
phil
Are they eastern or murray cod?
The eastern cod are alot more common than fisheries would think. Have seen days when you get upwards of 10-15 cod in a session. Some area's in the upper clarence, the cod are so highly populated that the bass are almost non-existent.
