BIG Brekky Ck cod- 62cm

[sharkbaithoohaha]

Hi all again.You must be getting sick of my marathon of posts, but I saved the best till last.Itook my 2 yougest kids to ,yes you guess it,Spot X again, this morning.I like to fish the run out just after the high.As soon as the baits were in the water we were into it.A small grnter bream ,then a small Moses Perch then a BIG cod. :) :) :) :) :) :)I've got to go and clean it for dinner now,and have a cold beer.As they say it's better to be born lucky than rich ( I think it was a rich bast@#d that said it )and luck was definitely on my side.It went 62cm and weighed 3.6kg.My biggest landbased cod.I still havn't caught an estuary cod from this spot,as they have all been Morgan's,not that i'm complaining as they're almost the same fish.Cheers

[sharkbaithoohaha]

Thanks guys.It was an awsome fight taking about 15min on 15lb mono and a 30lb trace.Thank god for the heavier trace.It was well rubbed up too.
Stephen-I certainly did work for Peter .Best bloke I've ever worked for and best fisherman I've ever met.I learnt a lot from him and have a world of respect for the man.
Cheers.

Phew! What a fish!!!! Brekky Ck.???? Always thought it was mainly good for old tyres, rusted bits and piecses I'm impressed and amazed!! Well done.

[StevenM]

SBHHH

Yeah your right about Pete...bloody top bloke and puts in an effort for the punters on board

Cheers

Steven

[sharkbaithoohaha]

Thanks Moondancer.You are correct,there is a lot of crap in the creek,but i suppose this is what creates the habitat for these kind of fish.It's the same down at Boggy Ck.You definitely loose a lot more fish than you land due to all the snags,but that's half the challenge for me.Cheers.

[Smailesy]

great catch

[fish_n_chick]

Now that's a cod! :o Bet it was good eating, and the kids must have been stoked ;D

The only thing better would be a good size Moses Perch ;). Have you ever caught any of size there?

[sharkbaithoohaha]

Yeah thanks FnC :).I got a couple of keepers early in the year around Jan/Feb,but at the moment they're all small but as summer approaches hopefully they'll get bigger.I have a spot down near Brett's that a few other Ausfishers know about where they are a bit bigger.When the Ck starts producing the keepers I'll give you a PM ;).
Cheers.

[fish_n_chick]

Thanks Sharkbaithoohaha. I look forward to it! [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

:oGreat fish for a city environ....Haven't seen an estuary cod that size for a while. My grandfather used to talk about mothers like that up around the creeks near lake Cootharaba and surrounds but I am yet to see one myself.
That makes me keener than ever to get otu there...just one Q, early morning or late afetrnoon SBHHH??
I am wondering if the turn of the tide tomorrow will be a good bet seeing as the lunar predctions are very good?

[SWFISHER]

top fish mate

[sharkbaithoohaha]

4x4 it was about an hour after the turn of the tide on the run out.I find Brekkie fishes better at this point in the tide.It was surprisingly not early morn or late arv but around 10:a.m..I saw your reply in "saltwater" section and with the moon phases around 1:00p.m when you have lunch,would be a good time.Send us a PM and let me know how you go ;).
Cheers.

[pedostool]

yep great fish ;D but it only has 0ne eye :-?

[chief]
