Re the 'No Camping' sign. I pulled up at a spot at one time and there was a sign that said 'No Fishing'. Well, I had heard that the fishing was great, so I decided to try my luck anyway. The fishing was fantastic, almost as good as I've seen anywhere. 'No Fishing', pfftttt! Best fishing ever.
Carry your gear in a bucket. When you set up empty the bucket and fill it with water. Use that to wet/wash your hands and tip it back in when you’re done for the day.
Often along a lot of rivers, the widest and best areas are actually in or around the town itself. I live near the Peel River system, and it's the same, the river is the best in the town of Tamworth, if you go outside of Tamworth towards the east, the river just gets narrower and less reliable. I think the reason is that the town was built around the best area of the river, and the people who built the town also possibly excavated the river a bit more to make sure larger bodies of water in the river exist at the town. Even exiting the town to the west direction, the river becomes narrower and worse, until you reach the next town built around it, where it again gets wider and nicer. The best area to fish isn't right in the centre of the town however, there are too many people, I find the best area to fish is on the edges of the town, where it's not part of the CBD area and it's very quiet, yet the river is still good there. This is simply the best area. There is a small park that no one ever uses that I walk across, I reach a nice area of the river, it's very quiet, but it's nice and deep and large, I catch Yellowbelly and Cod routinely there. Chaffey dam is the main starting point of the Peel, and fisheries on an average year put around 30,000 fish into it, of Cod and Yellowbelly. But also the Peel between Chaffey and Tamworth is also stocked as well, where over the past 6 years or so around 10,000 additional fish have been placed into that as well, of the Cod and Yellowbelly types. So I find it's very healthy with a lot of fish. There is also a stream just south of Kootingal that is heavily stocked with Rainbow and Brown trout, I haven't been there yet however, but it's not too far from home, just a 30-40 minute drive. Certainly there is good fishing in my area, with the help of the stocking map. I have another area I go fishing, on the Cockburn river, out near Limbri direction, this isn't stocked at all. And thus I never catch anything other than Carp, it's totally full of Carp. This is where I go if I want to go carp fishing. I can go carp fishing in this, and it's only 5 minutes from my house. To be honest however, I wish they could eradicate the carp, and put something better in there, I would even settle for Redfin, at least they are easy to get a good fillet off and have a nice meal. I don't currently know any Redfin areas in my area to fish in, obviously they don't stock this fish either. I used to live near Uralla and there is an area called the fossicking area, this place has so many Redfin and is a perfect area to catch Redfin, however it's a bit too far from my house to bother driving there just for some Redfin fishing, it's like 90 minutes away, and a lot of it is uphill, I can't see the point when I have Cod and Yellowbelly fishing just 20 minutes away.
Even better spot is behind the shepp lake theres some steps that lead down to the goulbourne and a big bank with plenty structure awsome area my useral spot and always a fish there
Hi mate my dad got a 110 cm cod and lost another big one in April 2022 from his boat On chicken not far from where your fishing so there’s definitely some big cod down there ,The Goulburn is full of big cod I caught a meter cod out of the broken when I was a kid
There is absolutely no stopping ya mate, catch on catch em all ya reckon. And mate, ya reckon the small silvers are strong mate. Wait until you catch on of a 45 up mate, they are a ripper of a fighting fish mate.
you need a little bucket with a rope attached to it, i use one when i fish from the jetty to get water to wash my hands when bait fishing. also we use a hoop net to land big fish (and rays) from the jetty, might be worth taking one of them down with you so you can use it to land any big cod/carp u get
Hi mate, it's just a slow time of the year. I fished the Ovens River yesterday for 3 hours and didn't get a bit either. As the days get longer the fishing will start to improve..
Some great spots behind the lake & at the back of the caravan park in particular, always lots of silvers & they love live bait like Grasshoppers, always a lot of red bellied blacks around though, with the Broken river & lots of irrigation channels Shepp is really spoilt & not forgetting the Murray is only 30 or 40 mins away.
I use to live in Shepparton & I fish & camp there on weekends & got big cod out of that river .. got to live life to it fullest.. that’s y I love Australia & it has the best fishing & camping & 4wdriving spots 👍🇦🇺
It's unreal how many fish you can catch close to town sometimes isn't it? Some people drive hundreds of miles to get to their chosen spots, yet we can get some amazing action in the middle of a big city! Anyway, nothing can stop you with those silver perch now mate, you're onto their tricks! Spewing you didn't get a look at that big fish but I'd say it was definitely a big cod based on the fight. Loved the video, great work as always.
Hey Robbie I was fishing the exact same spot as you a couple of weeks ago. I was up visiting my grandparents that live in the shepp villages and went for a fish. I ended up catching my second ever Murray cod and ended the day catching 4 cod and a big carp.
Excellent fishing session Robbie. Almost 1/2 way to 100k subs. Your content deserves 1 million. Vic fisheries should commission you to do a series for tourists and locals to be encouraged to wet a line. Stay safe and healthy and keep on giving us all a shove to get out and enjoy what we have.
Nice vid, just went out to the broken river on Broken river drive in shepp, only fish I’m catching is sticks, a month ago I had a yabby nipping at the cheese on my hook in the broken river
@@vinniemcintyre4987 hey mate im coming up shepparton next week for work and would love to get some fishing spots for the week if ur free and dont mind!
those red blemishes i believe might be a symptom of an anchor worm parasite? i read that somewhere on the internet so take it with the obvious grain of salt
Thanks mate. Thats the word that I was looking for when I caught the fish but couldn't remember. I have heard the same, but like you, my info is second hand.
Hey Roberto , went fishing today and got 2 silvers 6 trout cod and a 43cm yella and they all had like dorsal fin blemishes some really bad unsure why ??
Robbie my partner I live on The Boulevard in Shepparton, would have been awesome to come and get a photo with you if we knew you were coming! Maybe next time 🙂 awesome videos that have been coming out the past few months, great work
Hi Daniel that is super awesome. You live in a wonderful place. I will definitely be going back over there again soon so keep your eyes out and if you seebme make sure you come and say G'day.
@@carlstone880 haha yep. You’ll find me on most fishing youtubers. Especially robbies, Rohan’s, Jaron’s, and Andrew’s. Plus I think if you watch a video you should take some time to leave a nice message or some feedback
WOE that is unreal. It's a lovely spot. A friend of mine use to love around the corner a couple of streets behind the boulevard. We use to go there every year for grand final parties. I always ended up at the river with a fishing rod. Haha 😂😂😂
G'day Robbie, great vid mate a good little batch of float catches and a couple of nice little cod beautiful. Can I make the suggestion of a small bucket on a string to catch some water in so that you can just dip your hand in to wet when needing to handle a fish. Cheers.
Hi Daryl thanks mate. A few people have made this suggestion, and it is an excellent idea except for one thing.... I already carry so much crao that it's ridiculous. Haha
Some nasty sores on those fish Robbie - I've seen quite similar in the Murray River in SA and some reservoirs. Clearly the protective slime barrier has been breached, so what you said about handling the fish with wet hands makes a lot of sense. Btw carp doesn't start with an 'F' and keep up the maths lessons .....
Hahahaha thanks Frank. I was literally laughing my head off when I edited this video. As soon as I said 4 I started laughing, then I said what I caught which was clearly 6, and then said "So that's 5" 🤣🤣🤣 Nothing scripted about these videos. Hahaha
4lb line! I know you have had good success but next time go 15lb, you would've got that one hahaha! I have never been to Shepp one day I shall! Loving ya work Rob!
Haha thanks Les. I was actually targeting Silver Perch and yellowbelly hence the light line. LOL if I was targeting this big monster I would have been using 50lb. LOL
@@robbiefishing you'll feel it as much as hearing it Robbie. Good luck chasing the big one mate, trust me , you'll know when you get a good sized silver on the line, their strong little buggers. 👍
Super unlucky Robbie you might have played him a bit hard but still love your videos and I hope your luck turns round and you get a ripper next time 👍👌
Fantastic content Robbie! I Have a few sneaky spots that are producing great fish on the Goulburn. Loving that your chasing the silver Perch. I will try the float fishing rig . Did you have any split shot on the dropper?
That's a really good spot where you at that's exact same spot is where I lost a big cod 2 weeks ago I reckon on a yabbie snapped my line and took of got him right near the bank it had to be at least 95cm or bigger could've been the same fish you lost but I was using 30lb line mate.
@@robbiefishing I got a really good feeling it was mate you will be back in that same spot in the matter of weeks. I won't be fishing for a while yet I gotta move next weekend to Rushworth then got a few weeks of 7 days a week work.
Hey Robbie, have you ever tried fishing barbless with baits? Makes things so much easier as even fish hooked deep are easily unhooked. Worms can however wriggle off and I gave up fishing barbless to any fish Ive had to work all day for. But bait fishing for many smallish species its an awesome way to go
Hey Robbie. Just thought of an idea for your shrimp nets. Maybe put the dog food in the bottle so you don’t have to carry a bag every where then just use that to hold your bait
How things change, fished that stretch of river regularly in the seventies and eighties for hundreds of carp and redfin but the only native I ever caught was a single silver perch
I always get anxious watching your videos when you hook a good one. I won't fish less than 12lb in a river for that reason, having the comfort of been able to put a bit on a fish to keep it out of a snag when i need and trying to land it.
Great work Robbie, I tried there earlier in the year and didn't catch anything. I seem to better in the Freshwater around metropolitan Melbourne than in rural Vic 🤷🏻♂️😅
If your after easy access spots that still produce good fish just message me on Instagram I’ll show you the spot where I got that meter cod which isn’t far from the lake.

Ur fishing where I fish all the time
I live about a block from there, Robbie. I have been fishing down there didn’t catch nothing though. 👍

Hahaha sure was mate.
After a hard day's work of stressful work and listen to the media I get down I put your show on and you bring me back to living thank you Robbie
Great video mate. I have always fished with the white part of the float facing up. Gives better contrast against the water colour i find. Ty
Thanks buddy. I definitely don't believe there is a right or wrong way. 👍👍

I love you showing the fishing opportunities right under our nose
Love your work
Thanks so much mate. I agree. Right in the middle of town.
Great session. As you know at the moment the river is high I want to ask how come I don’t get bites when the river is high?
Hi mate, it's just a slow time of the year. I fished the Ovens River yesterday for 3 hours and didn't get a bit either. As the days get longer the fishing will start to improve..

that could of been a metery 😔

Great to see the natives are plentiful n the Victorian waterways. Bravo vic fisheries 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇦🇺
Thanks mate, and I agree. They're doing an outstanding job.
Love fishing in the Goulburn river 👌🏼 it’s weird that silver perch are still protected though, seems that most of the fish we catch are silvers.
Fantastic content Robbie! I Have a few sneaky spots that are producing great fish on the Goulburn. Loving that your chasing the silver Perch. I will try the float fishing rig . Did you have any split shot on the dropper?
Thanks Brett. I don't mate, but it wouldn't hurt to. It will help keep the bait down a take a tiny amount of buoyancy out of the float.
That's a really good spot where you at that's exact same spot is where I lost a big cod 2 weeks ago I reckon on a yabbie snapped my line and took of got him right near the bank it had to be at least 95cm or bigger could've been the same fish you lost but I was using 30lb line mate.

How things change, fished that stretch of river regularly in the seventies and eighties for hundreds of carp and redfin but the only native I ever caught was a single silver perch
I’ve seen a few good trout c bites and it looked like one over a Murray fight
Definitely a pretty little fish the sylvers
Got so excited mid battle with that big fish then realised it’s the one you lost from the other video :(
I always get anxious watching your videos when you hook a good one. I won't fish less than 12lb in a river for that reason, having the comfort of been able to put a bit on a fish to keep it out of a snag when i need and trying to land it.
Thanks mate. 12 - 15lb is a great all rounder. Lighter line is great for perch, but can be an issue if you hook a monster.... as I discovered. Hahaha
Need to invest in some 12lb braid mate, it will fish the same as the 4lb mono
Thanks mate. I actually have 12lb braid. I don't like it for bait fishing though. I prefer mono, but it has its obvious downfalls. LOL
@@robbiefishing You should try it again, I switched over some years ago and would never go back! Only use mono for leaders now.
