Kayak fishing for Murray cod and not catching any Murray cod 162 2

Kayak 5 years ago 2,596 views

I have always loved kayak fishing for Murray cod, but sadly due to a sore back I have not been able to get out in my kayak for any fish, let alone Murray cod. Thankfully, I have dropped a few kilograms and my back is already starting to feel a little bit better, and I am able to go kayak fishing once again. To be honest, I thought I would struggle. I honestly expected that I would really struggle paddling my kayak this evening. I expected my back to hurt, my arms to hurt, to be out of breath etc... Turns out that I done it easier than I do when I am bank fishing. I was able to paddle my kayak and go fishing for a couple of hours without any problems whatsoever. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I am hoping to get out for a paddle again really soon, even if I am not fishing, just kayaking for exercise. I honestly feel great after this evening Kayak fishing for Murray cod session. The Murray cod fishing has really slowed down in my area, it happens this time every year without fail. We have a few good days and stacks of really poor days. I had a great day fishing earlier this week, the night that I snapped my fishing rod. Now, a few days later the fishing is poor and they have just shut down again. No doubt the Murray cod fishing will pick up and improve a few more time yet before the cold weather gets here. I absolutely love my Safari H20 kayak. It is black, it is cool and it is called The Murray, even though I use it mostly on the Ovens River.

Beautiful location. Thanks for sharing about your Kayak setup. Looks like it would be great fun in the waterways around here.

Thanks mate.

Thomas Voss - 5 years ago

Looking to buy a Kayak, what are the best brands? Wouldn't mind one that could handle some light ocean action as well. Any suggestions?

robbiefishing - 5 years ago

G'day Thomas check out the Safari H20 website mate, they make a large range from river fishing like this to ocean kayaks.

Rob Graham - 5 years ago

glad to see you out on the yak again.. and that you showed the life jacket mate :D hehe.. the Cockies are bloody annoying this year, was down on the river a little while ago up here.. and the tree's have been realllllly messed up by them.

robbiefishing - 5 years ago

Thanks mate, it's the same here. They wake me up most mornings. LOL

robbiefishing - 5 years ago

G’day Robbie. Great little vid on the kayak! Unlucky on the muzza’s, but guess that’s expected this time of year. Still, entertaining to watch! Good stuff :)

robbiefishing - 5 years ago

Thanks so much mate. They sure are harder to get on to at thisbtine if the year.

Andrew Fishman - 5 years ago

Too bad you got no cod mate. Nice to be out any way. Great opportunity to show us your kayak setup. I really need to get a kayak. But I need a car before I get one :)

robbiefishing - 5 years ago

Thanks Andrew. I love my kayak, so happy to have a black one mate.

Kanga Ron - 5 years ago

mighty amount of time spent in our favorite hobby. How can you manage it it with your employer

robbiefishing - 5 years ago

Just out of curiosity, can I ask why you're asking me this question?

robbiefishing - 5 years ago

I have very good time management.

F-U-2-2014 - 5 years ago

Would be very interesting to know who the 3 people are that always leave dislikes early on and why, I know they won't respond giving a reason why but it would be interesting to know.

F-U-2-2014 - 5 years ago

+robbiefishing Yeah I didn't think it would bother you Champ, I'm just curious why they do it. I myself have two channels I do it to one being Fine Bros as a one man show of disapproval for when they tried making creators pay a royalty to FBE if they wanted to do reaction videos lol. The other channel I do it to is Drama Alert because the channel is presented as a news channel but is little more than a platform for personal opinions...… As you say YouTube don't see thumbs down as negative they just see them as an interaction so I don't see them as a bad thing provided there is some thought put into them and not just to be a hating little nancy

Urban Fisho - 5 years ago

Useless greenies I would expect!

robbiefishing - 5 years ago

haha mate, I have my suspicions. LOL Doesn't bother me buddy, all youtubers get haters. In fact, anybody that sticks their neck out and has a go gets haters, usually people who would rather try and pull other people down rather than actually try and achieve something with their lives. YouTube actually sees thumbs down as positive interaction and uses it to help promote channels.

robbiefishing - 5 years ago

Thanks mate, yeah I like this one. It is the most comfortable soft seat that I have used.

Pat Gillem - 5 years ago

Nice video Robbie. I was just curious, do you have any croc's in your part of the country? I live in the United States.

robbiefishing - 5 years ago

Hi Pat, thanks so much for watching me all the way from the amazing USA. I went there in 2001 and fell in love with the place. No crocks here. We have eastern brown snakes and tiger snakes, but thankfully no crocks. They're about 1200 miles north of where I live. I am in the soutrhern most state on the mainland.

Urban Fisho - 5 years ago

LOL!

Rusty Gypsy Roving - 5 years ago

My friend it must have been the video. When the boat comes in. But you not got any fishes. The mozzie could attracted to the infer red from camera to help with lighting the photo. The river looks great and i love what people write. That shows you we love what your doing. Russ

RKJ Fishing - 5 years ago

Good to see you back out in your kayak mate. I can't believe you still have the lure from your first cod! Have you tried trolling the surface lure behind you as you paddle back?

robbiefishing - 5 years ago

Thanks mate, I have actually done that in Lake Mulwala but did not do any good.

George kolls - 5 years ago

what bait casting rod is that?

robbiefishing - 5 years ago

Hi George it is a Shimano of some description. Not sure of the model sorry. It is my back-up rod that I have had to use since breaking my Venom.

Mohammed Novalija - 5 years ago

LOL - a nothing video - absolutely nothing - I can't even recall what it was about - but I watched the whole lot and was interested completely - THAT'S how I know its YOU and not the video what makes this channel popular

robbiefishing - 5 years ago

You are such abound man. Thank you so much for your kind words Mohammed.

robbiefishing - 5 years ago

The only dinosaur there was the bloke paddling the kayak. Hahaha Thanks for your kind words. You and I think very much alike. I always look at the positives and that was the biggest one of the night. Most people would focus on catching no fish. LOL

robbiefishing - 5 years ago

Thank so much Brad. If you ever decide to make sure you hit me up mate, would be my honour to show you around.

robbiefishing - 5 years ago

Hey Benny thank you so much mate.

JackVoodoo - 5 years ago

robbiefishing - 5 years ago

Hey buddy, nah it's just my backup Shimano. I bought it before Christmas because I wanted the reel that it came with.

john dwyer - 5 years ago

Hi mate great video do you think being in the kayak changed the angle of the lure.
Hence no fish or did you catch them all in the 90's great video mate

robbiefishing - 5 years ago

Hahaha Thanks John! Nah mate I think it is just the cooling water. They go quiet this time every year mate.

Phillip White - 5 years ago

Good video anyway Robbie. Ever thought of drifting down in a kayak casting soft plastics? Something I almost forgot ...what store did you say you buy the pink yabbie scoop nets from? Not only would they help when I am out handlining for yabbys, they would help no end withthe tadpole study that I am doing.

Phillip White - 5 years ago

+robbiefishing Cool Thanks mate!

robbiefishing - 5 years ago

G'day Phil you can buy them at Kmart for about $5 mate.
I have caught a few cod on plastics but am hoping to do more next season.
