Some Cod at last

[Barry Ehsman]

Couldn't get a Bobcat this morning so i grabbed a mate & went out to Copeton Dam....On the water at sunrise,,great conditions... Had heard of some good Cod being caughtso hopes were high ...

In the first 10 minutes i was on & shortly after landed a little 55cm Cod on a spinnerbait made by my son,,,, great start

About an hour later with the spinnerbait about3m behind the boat a Cod of about 75 to 85cm hit the lure in plain view of us then spat the lure Bugger!

Not long after that i had this almighty wack & i was on again & at one stage thought i might have had my first metery but after a bit of a fight he came on board at 75cm a very fat fish...

All up a great morning & home by 11am...both fish caught casting & both released

Cheers Baz

Hi Pete
No mate the only one is the restricted area near the dam wall no fishing or boating...

Whats the level at the dam? Is there any blue green alge at the moment?

Not exactly sure mate but it is around 7% & did not se any algae at all.. the level might be low but down at the wall area there is still up to 35m of water..

Great pics and report Baz. Gee they're a beautiful fish. And Cind's right....it is nice to see reports about species other than our beloved silver sides. Hopefully there might be a few reports from us about toga and bass after next weekend.

Green fish are definitely on my list.

Cheers and well done

Well done Baz. Have not been out for a few weeks (waiting on new boat) but had a go on the Severn two weekends ago for two (55 & 50cm). Hope they are still around in a month or so's time. Cheers Brett.
