Hard bodies being trolled or spun, spinnerbaits or surface lures – they’re all going great guns, although a lot of the fish are just under legal and a lot depends on water levels. To be honest, I can’t remember cod fishing ever being better than it is at the moment in the Murray.

Lake Hume is also fishing really well. This week, we’ve again had numerous reports of great bags of decent reddies. I had the chance to get out there myself with son Ben on Thursday morning and we managed about 30 keepers.

I wouldn’t say all those keepers were great fish, but we both took home a couple of good feeds with a couple of them around the old   1 ½ lb mark. Yabbies were great, as were Yakamito vibes and some small blades we flicked about for a while.

In the end, we were just dropping them over the side and were flat out getting to the bottom. But as I said, lots of small fish. We got on to that particular patch of fish after spotting some gulls working, so keep your eyes peeled when you head out.

Up at Blowering, reddies have also decided to have a dip by the sound of things, with a few decent reports finally coming in. They’re using pretty much the same techniques we were using at Hume, but there’s also been a few decent ones being spun from shore.
