The morning of Christmas eve.
95 cm Cod caught on 12 pound Fireline, 12 pound vanish leader and a 3/8th purple spinner bait.
Shimano 10Xsg reel and 2 - 4 kg Daiwa Heartland rod.
Have a happy new year and many hours of successful fishing.

All times wasted thats not spent fishing
now thats a bloody better fish they are healthy,are you in
Alright I think it is time for roydsy to go cod fishing. Where were you fishing, dam?
Can anyone tell me if northern NSW has any dams, river systems within 3 hours drive with these babies stocked?
Not enough time in the day, to many spots to fish!
great work howard,
where abouts were you fishing, is it a dam or river and which one,
not asking for specific snags or anything just a name of the lake or river.
Roydsy, most of the border rivers/dams are stocked with Murray Cod,
a couple of impoundments worth fishing are Glenlyon and Pindari, as for rivers try the severn, mcintyre and Dumaresq. All these locations are about 4-5 hours from Brissy/Gold Coast.
As for closer locations maybe try Cooby Creek Dam at Toowoomba,
I know its mainly yellas but there are some big cod in there for those who spend the time looking. perhaps sound up the deep holes and drop some big spinnerbaits/Soft Plastics down.
Good Luck mate
Cheers,
Ben

PM me when your getting closer and I can let you in on a secret or two location wise
Cheers,

bdowdy the dam is not to far from your stomping ground. Storm King (better
It is handy for me as it only takes me 15mins to put the boat on and be on the water, fish it up to 3 times a week when not fishing Glenlyon and Coolmunda.
Best Cod to date is 125cm out of Storm King. Plenty of 1 meter + fish in Glenlyon and I never get sick of fishing there, must get back and see if Brian Dare retrieve my favorites Home made lure.
Yellahunter, some big Golden's in my dam, 60cm+ not unusual.
As I fish catch and release I have been thinking for some time now that I would like to tag the fish, as I am sure I have caught the same fish several times. Must look into it.
Cheers

must give me a pm next time i would be keen to fish this place in a boat as only ever fished from the bank cheers bdowdy
Gday Howard
Very nice mate what time of day?
wamjam
wamjam,
The time the fish were caught was around 7 am. For the past month I have been getting most fish between 6.30 am to 8 am as the sun is higher, I think they are moving around in the shallow warm water.
