Murray cod fishing with cheese

- Fishing for Murray cod with cheese can be a very good way to catch these native fish. It can also be a controversial subject as many people believe that because the cheese is not natural, it will bind the cod up and kill the fish.
I personally do not believe this to be true because in the summer months there are so many cod caught with cheese that if they were to die, we should see some dead fish floating but we don't. Also, to the best of my knowledge there has been no scientific research conducted into this. That's not to say there hasn't been any, but there hasn't been that I am aware of, and if there has, then it has not led to any rules being implemented into the use of cheese as bait to catch Murray cod.
In this video I catch a Murray cod, but I have a surprise visit from a lovely little trout cod. It's always great to see a trout cod turn up.
Trout cod are a protected species of native fish and must be returned to the water unharmed.

Good to see that spot still has fish in there I know it gets heavily fished. Great to you out there still catching fish mate weather is bloody beautiful for it
Thanks heaps Chris. I often think the same think. People fish there all the time and yet it still regularly produces the goods.
@@robbiefishing I've fished there a few times back when I was living in Benalla and never got a touch. A old fella said to me you won't get nothing here it's been flogged out. Also told me to go under the bridge to have some luck so I did and it all paid off with carp LOL
How 5 more minutes can turn into another hour. Very patient Robbie but your patience paid off! I'm still yet to catch a Murray cod but gotta be helpful to live in Melbourne and catch them. I'm all the way up in Canberra
Robbie nice Trout Cod and Murray Cod mate pretty fish. Once again the Queens reign supreme! Gotta love the action of the Queens it starts right at the handle brilliant mate.👍. Keep fishing and posting the videos it's the closest thing i've got to fishing at the moment.☹🤬 And "Fantasea" really lol😄😁
Thanks so much Dave. I hooe you're keeping well in lock down mate.
Fanta sea. Hahahaha
Gotta love the serenity
Neat fish great vid mate
Haha geez that was a loud vehicle. I thought inwas coming under air attack by Luftwaffe. Thanks heaps mate.
Hey Robbie, Just back from fishing Wyangla Dam (NSW) and just watched your new rod video. My Black Queen is 8ft long. It was a Chissy present circa 1967 and cost $13.20 - a small fortune in the day. You have encouraged me to get it out of moth balls and use it again. All the best Brian
Thanks mate. WOW that's 53 years ago. Not many fishing rods these days will last that long unless they are treated with a lot of care.
hey rob..bit cheesey lol..great stuff loved the commotion on the bridge..peaceful spot hahahahaha..great stuff mate cheers
haha Thanks so much mate.
Great video Robbie. great catches!!I’d take a trout cod and Murray cod this time of the year anytime great work
Thanks heaps mate, so would I. Awesome fish.
Hey falla, ur a very enthusiastic character, im just turning in to ur channel! Just Watched your freshwater cray vido at the same location. Bridges are great fishing areas from the bird droppings that Nest underneath the bridges. You've earned My subscription. Grate job!
5th time's the charm haha! Loved the video Robbie can't wait till I can go fishing cause cheese has given me an IDEA!!!
Thanks mate. I cant wait for you to come up here and go fishing with me.
Another great video Robbie. I really want to meet you!! Everyone in my family watches you
Thank you so much. If you ever see me out and about be sure to stop and say g'day.
@@robbiefishing if I see you around than I will DEFINITELY stop and say G'day
Hey Robbie, you ever caught a carp or silver perch on cheese? We catch silvers on the cheese all the time at mcoys bridge in the golbourn river
Love going back and watching the old vids that I’ve never watched before
Love your content ❤❤
Thanks so much mate. No, I have only ever caught cod and a crayfish on cheese. Haha
Thats a first. Ive never seen a fish hooked get off and you dont loose your cheese. Your a master fisherman.
hahaha That takes a speciel skill. LOL
Loving ya work Robbie can't wait to see some trout popping their heads up
Thanks mate. Im not sure when I will get to go because of covid restrictions. I will miss trout opening, but not sure when I will get to go. At this stage it's mid September depending on how things unfold.
@@robbiefishing here's hoping hey. We had a great day out carp were hopping out at lake nallacoti
Australia's freshwater fish evolution is a lot smaller than in most other countries. For example the Trout cod and Murray cod are obviously recent divergent evolution products, both originating from the same ancestor not too long ago. Additionally the Golden perch, Silver perch and Macquarie perch all obviously have a common ancestor as well. Because of the great dividing range, no oceanic fish species on Australia's east coast were able to make it to become inland species, there are some brackish water species on the east side of the great dividing range, but generally all native species on the west coast of the great dividing range actually evolved from species that lived in the giant inland sea, when the ocean levels were higher in the past, pretty much the entire south western quarter of the Murray catchment system was a huge inland sea.
As the ocean levels dropped over time, it became brackish and then fully freshwater eventually, and species that lived there either evolved into the new conditions, or died. A type of saltwater Cod that lived in that inland sea was essentially the common ancestor to both the Murray Cod and the Trout Cod. And some kind of saltwater perch was the common ancestor to the 3 common freshwater perch species we have.
This is also why these species are native to the Murray catchment system, and nowhere else.
The Golden perch in my opinion is one of the best fish in the world.
As far as introduced fish, the Redfin and Trout are decent additions, but whoever brought in the Carp was an absolute dingbat.
Hahaha true that! Imagine if he was still alive and we all knew who he was. LOL
Hey Robbie when using cheese and baits that can easily fall off I tend to use a bait sock. They are like a little net that you push the bait in and tie it off then chuck it on your hook. They are very good for making sure the bait won’t fall off and are perfect for cod and carp fishing
Hi mate, thanks for the great suggestion.
Melbourne, Lockdown, can't fish, can only watch Robbie's video, feeling better now
Thank you so much mate.
Another amazing video with bonus entertainment!I'm in Melbourne and concerned bout my health and wellbeing due to lockdown.need to get out fishing.
Thanks mate. It really is a tough times, moreso for you guys down there.
Have you got people to chat with? Family, friends etc... to try and break the boredom?
@@robbiefishing I do and being strong for them.thanks for concern
Looks like a great way to relax & get away from these stressful times! 🍻
Another great video👍. Ahh the serenity!😂
Thanks mate. OMG... .What was that? Loudest car or bike ive ever heard. Just happened to cruise by while I eas filming. Hahaha
Good one mate 👍👍👍👍👍 enjoyed that one
Thanks Cam.
Wow Robbie that’s awesome, great to see
Thanks so much James.
As a kid I used to fish in the King just upstream of there behind the old pioneer cemetery. The Chisholm St pool was also there, and was rebuilt on the old Principal's residence site. The bridge across the King went straight across the site of the old pool.
WOW My memory goes back but not quite that far. LOL
I use to catch a lot of redfin in that area too. They're all but disappeared from down here these days, even though I released one back into Lake William Hovell back in 2013.
Im still waiting for them to take over and stuff up the river. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a legend!! Fantastic work mate
Thanks so much Mat.
Another great video Robbie. What cheese do you use? I find cheese breaks off the hook way too easy but yours looks like it's super glued to the hook!
Thanks David. I was using Tasty cheese. Strangely enough I find it much easier to use in the cooler months. In summer it goes soft and falls off the hook. This time of the year I dont have any problems.
Gday Robbie mate just wondering what cheese you use? Cheers cob
Great video mate. Well done. 😉😎👍 you need to do more vids at this spot. Their a great esky . I got one 👍
Thanks buddy. No doubt I will be doing more fidhing there during lockdown.
Really missing cod fishing along the Macquarie River. Cheers Robbie, hope you're using some good Bega Cheese!
Thanks mate. I honestly can't remember what brand of cheese it is. LOL
The trout cod must be making a fair comeback down there. They were fairly endangered a while back werent they?
Sure were mate, there's been a lot of hard work invested I to it, but they're making a great comeback now.
Hi Robbie, great video mate. Great location, what's the name of the place?
What river is this? Looks fantastic
Grate fish on cheese. What was the weather forecast Robbie - fine with a light Bries???
Hahahaha Grate comment.... you always make me laugh. 🤣🤣🤣
Hey Mate! Do you have a tutorial video on how to do your hook rigs?
So good to see trout cod being caught.
My son caught his first cod last year. At Bundalong on cheese from Aldi tasty.
What cheese to you use?
Thats awesome. I was using tasty as well mate, I cant remember where I bought it though. Possibly Aldi as well.
At first sight I thought that was a GWS face mask......and my admiration of you went through the roof.
But then my eyes kicked in...Hmmmm
You're still alright Robbie.....LOL
Hahahaha I use to love footy as a kid, back before GWS were even thought of. LOL
wow beautiful. ive never caught a troutie
Thanks mate. They're an awesome species. Fight mjch harder than Murray cod.
@@robbiefishing ok. maybe that little soft bite was a troutie. i find that silvers bite like that-v soft and hard to hook
Nice one Robbie
Thanks heaps mate.
Lovely fish mate keep up good work
Thanks so much Sam.
Hi Robbie, have you ever thought of using a short hair rig with that cheese? Leaves the hook completely exposed for easier hook up.
Hi mnate, I have not heard of that rig. I will have to look into it. Thanks for the heads up mate.
Smashed it mate.
A otther top video buddy hope you had amazing weekend and hope you have a top week ahead your brother ddtf
i prefer solo over fanta great vid Robbie
Hahaha thanks heaps mate.
I've never seen a trout cod they look amazing
Thanks Luke. They're beautiful. Hopefully you get to catch one some day mate.
@@robbiefishing yeah I'm from a little town in Barcaldine Qld we don't get cod here but I still have fun out here catching yellow belly
Love to do a catch and cook session with you in the future.
it's great seeing trout cod caught robbie it truly is
Thanks Jessica. They really are beautiful fish.
Your dream run continues mate! I'm super happy for you, as well as super jealous LOL I can barely get a bite around here hahaha.
Thanks mate. I'm experiencing unprecedented fishing in these unprecedented times. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm telling you Robbie cheese paste is the way to go rather than a cube of cheese. It isn't difficult to make, include some "blue cheese" in your mix to increase scent attraction. Slices of really cheap burger cheese rolled into little balls works well too.! 👍
Hey mate thanks for the great tip.
Healthy fish Robbie, would love to see ya dad in a couple vids but that’s up to him of course 🤘👍
Thanks heaps Bren. He's been in a few of my videos over the years.
Hey Robbie
I was just wondering how you find so much content and ideas? I really struggle with this, like today I posted a video which I thought was dry on content.
Also what a great day you had!
Thanks mate. I honestly dont know how to answer that sorry. I usually just do what I want to do and film my adventures.
Hey Robbie your cheese seems to stay on your hook do you mind telling me what sort of cheese you use, i use mozzarella cheese it works really good but when I get a bite if I don't hook the fish the bait is always gone it just does not stay on the hook well, and so now I use raw chicken it works well and it stays on the hook a lot better
Hi Dave, it is tasty cheese mate. I find it works so mich easier this time of the year when the water is so cold. In summer the water softens the cheese but that doesn't seem to be a problem in August.
robbiefishing no worries thank and now that I think about it mozzarella is very soft and taste is firm I will try taste for thanks
Hey rob just letting you know that if you want to catch the cod you need a very small hook and leave the hook point exposed 👍
Hey mate thanks heaps for the great tip.
Awesome mate.
Thanks heaps Tezza.
Hey Robbie,
Great vid, what is the stats on trout cod.
*size limit
*bag limit
* what would you rate it on the dinner table
Thanks mate. They're listed as endangered and are totally protected and must be released to the water unharmed.
There are two lakes in my area that are stocked as a put and take fishery where we are allowed to take 1, however I have not caught one big enough and if I do, I am unsure whether my conscience will kick in and prevent me from killing it anyway, despite being legal. LOL I have often wondered what they taste like though. They are on the way back thanks to mountains of habitat work, fish stocking and research. Hopefully they can be downgraded from endangered to vulnerable some day so that maybe we can keep a feed.
Getting a bite on your cheese lucky bastard
hahahaha
What river buddy?
I've seen some quick bites on cheese before today. Cheese hadn't even hit the bottom and had a cod on. Pretty sure it hit him on the head as it hit the water...
hahaha I love it when that happens.
A Greeny AND a bluey! Double header for the day! BETTER than a kick in the bum, or a bag full of carp!
Thanks heaps UF. Not something that I've ever done in August before.
@@robbiefishing Always a 1ST time!
How does trout cod go on the BBQ or is that a no go zone!
They are fully protected you can only catch and release
Hey buddy they're totally protected apart from 2 waterways where they're rarely caught.
I have often wondered the same thing myself.
Could the nibbles be from silver perch
Hey Tyson, we do not have Silver Perch in the river here. There may be an odd one, however I have never caught one here. I suspect they were from really small cod.
Robbie, are "cheese rods" safe to use in warmer weather - or do they melt in the back of the car? 😁
Haha depends what type of cheese they're made from. 🤣🤣🤣
Hey Robbie! What cheese do you use?
Hi mate, I was using tasty cheese, cut into small cubes.
robbiefishing thanks mate!
those little tiny bites are 80-90% mots likely shrimp.like when they go after worms like a yabby or murry crayfish
7:05 is that a fish swimming past? Just near your rod tip. There is a swirl.
Hey mate I dont think so. I think it was just anbit of water swirling around.
Robbie. What type/name is your net?.
Hey buddy im nit sure of the name but I got it from Trellys in Shepparton.
robbiefishing Sweet. Thank you.
What sort off cheese do u use? Never treid it.
Hi mate, I prefer to use tasty but mozzeralla works well too.
5:50 trout cod.. where does that term come from Robbie? Is it a trout that looks like a cod or a cod that looks like a trout?
Hi mate, I'm not sure where the name came from. They're a cod that typically lives in mid to upland waterways with cooler and clearer water. The old timers use to call them blue-nose. They're endangered and totally protected.
Blue nose cod sounds better
Was that under the wangaratta bridge Robbie? Double double cheese cheese burger burger please lol
Sure was mate. Hahaha there's a vloody shop across the river called Chicken Time and it always smells soooooooooo good when im fishing there. LOL
@@robbiefishing haha Haha
Lol, Fanta-sea 🤣
I just can't help myself. 🤣🤣🤣
Love the fish he looks amazing
Thanks Sam. Which one are you referring to buddy?
robbiefishing all of them hahaha
why are your rods so far apart, you can keep them together and cast where you like? nearly went in didn't you. lol good video
haha It would be the first time if I did fall in. LOL They are apart because of the current. If I kept them close together they would end up tangled. If the water was still and I could cast one left and one right it would be easier to keep them closer together.,
Hey You... Do More curry cray fishing
Haha thanks for the suggestion mate. I have plans to do more craying.
This has been a cheesy production 🤣🤣🍻🍻👍👍
Hahahaha Like most out of them. LOL
BETTER than in Covidtown!
Hey You! Healthy looking daily double.
Thanks heaps Trevor.
😂 funny to see they will eat cheese
Might be yabbies or crayfish 🦞 playing with the rods
I actually catch a crayfish on a fishing rod in a video later in the week. Haha
We spray the cheese with wd40. No I'm not joking.
Hey Kris I have heard of other people doing this too.
lololol at fantasea
Hahahaha I just can't help myself sometimes. 😂😂😂
Hey Robbie do you have Facebook Messenger as I don’t have instagram.
Hi mate, No I have messages turned off sorry. Patreon is the best spot to message me.
