T Dot Posted May 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 That's cool! But check out Baramundi fishing, those fish are nuts! Will do! Thanks for the recommendation. I am already highly intrigued about this fish. I wish they were closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T Dot Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Here is another pic. My understanding there many fish caught already, some being meter fish. A meter fish is a trophy in cod standards, most weighing in excess of 50lbs. I can't imagine what the fight would be like - it's something I would want to experience.

FishDr Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Murray cod - a fish that was on my list when I lived in Australia, but I never did manage to catch one. Now I've got one more reason to go back (not that I need a reason...I just need money)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishDr Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) Out of curiosity why didnt you catch one and what lures/gear did you use? The main reason was that I only had a chance to fish for them once, and that was back in the days when Vic McCrystal was still writing for Modern Fishing. I was fishing with a mate down around Albury-Wodonga and was throwing small deep-diving cranks on a medium threadline outfit. I did get a couple of redfin, but no Murray cod. The next time I visit, I hope to fix that problem - I did get a barra north of Cairns a couple of trips ago, and some sooty grunters, jungle perch, and mangrove jacks, but Murray cod and golden perch eluded me (mainly 'cause I lived in the wrong area).

breamtim Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I'm from Australia, on the coast so not the right area for cod but they can get to 250lb, a big one now is around 30-75, got heaps of other big swimbait eating fish too like barramundi, big bass, Saratoga, mulloway, estuary perch. bassing305 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
