Little skinny water cod

[dnardy]

Little 48cm from our local billabong, in good nick. I caught it but daughter held and released it, she's getting good with a baitcaster and not far off catching her first cod - she's caught redfin and carp.

It's good to see the kids getting out and about.

Rather than stuck in front of a device.

Gee, it'd be nice to have a local billabong. The daughter looks well pleased.

What time of day was the capture ?

Nice fish

It's good to see a dad getting out with the kids. It can be hard to put it all together sometimes. Smiles and memories are gold.

Good to see a few cod still getting around, I was talking to a bloke the other day that said the river was, super low and there were some fish kills. 

Hopefully things will be picking back up now.

About 5.40PM @ellicat.

We had fished for an hour and a half and no luck. I cast a Bassman Tubby at a snag and saw a swirl. Next cast to same spot hit the water hard and no interest. I did a soft cast that landed nicely with little splash on the third go and pretty much knew it would take it before it hit. Fished til dark after that with no more luck. Daughter also had a bait rod with cheese on, no good. They're in there but hard to get right now, I wouldn't have got this one if I didn't notice the swirl.

@Angry51 we try to limit the kids to an hour on screens a day but it doesn't always work out that way, especially if we're hungover

@Bob9863 I reckon you would still be able to find them going off your recent reports.. They're in the billabong and healthy just need to be there at the right time. My mate's been catching a few yella's too.
