new south wales Severn River Murray Cod

[Madmic]

Hi everyone,

Made it to the Severn River over the weekend. It was still showing some signs from the floods but it was great to be out chasing Australian Natives in such a pristine area. No Yellas unfortunately but I did manage to catch a few Murray Cod. I'm glad that the size improved once I got the hang of the retrieve  Hopefully next time I'll catch a legal sized one.

I was on private property but the were 3 public fishing zones where you could access the river at anytime. A great place and worth a trip at some stage if you can

Well done @Madmic - stunning looking country and 3 is a great effort. Geez that first one had eyes bigger than his stomach!!

Thanks @kmcrosby78. The guy who owns the property caught a few more than I did. I wish I had more time there as there were so many pools we had to walk past that looked perfect for more.

Nice work, Mick. Good to see a cod thread. Congrats on the catches.
Another old member spent the weekend chasing cod from the Severn for the first time over the weekend too. He got 5 around the same size.

I also went to the Severn where son, Dan, had a fish without any hookups. I didn't play the game as it was a trip first and foremost to get away from it all and avoid people. Successful on those fronts so no complaints.

Glad to hear you had some rnr and I know what you mean. Although I did manage to keep myself busy most of the time, having practically a whole weekend out of phone service was bliss

Where did you stay/camp Mick?

I was on some private property, about 2000 acres with the NSW Severn River running right through the middle.

This is the house we stayed in
