- It's always great to catch a mixed bag of fish when fishing instead of the same fish all the time. Lately I have been catching a lot of carp, so it was great to hook onto something different, a Murray cod.
It wasn't a huge Murray cod, but it was a Murray cod and a welcome change of fish species for me.
Great session buddy, we’ll done. The kids and I got a kick out of knowing our bait weights were part of the adventure. Thanks mate
G'day Mat, those bait weights are so awesome. I love them and have been using them a lot.
robbiefishing plenty more where they come from mate, just send me a size anytime and we’d love to send you more as stock diminishes, ur dads old rod is a bit of a dancing queen. Lol it goes off, man it’s whippy, whip it good. Lol
Great afternoon of piscatorial fun Robbie. 👍👍🍻🍻😷😷
Your enthusiasm shows no boundaries mate.. nice cod..
Thank you so much mate.
Great vide robbie, gotta love the bend on that rod
I can’t wait to get back up the river and go fishing.😩🎣 Great video.👍👍👍👍👍
Great fish Robbie great to see that the cod are on the chew
Thanks Joshy. They sure are on the chew mate. Im hoping to get out to try again in the next few days.
Hope you get out and snag a few if so good luck mate
That was a beautiful Murry cod
Thanks heaps Luke.
Another good day out, nice COD and great to see the Black Queens in action.
Nice one Robbie. Two great looking fish.
Well done, and braving winter cold
The black Queen. I'm absolutely positive my dad had that sort of rod mid 70s around Corowa. Thank for the fond memory
Thanks mate. Yep, this one is a genuine Black Queen from the 1970s as well. It was my dad's.
Good job Robbie. I've bloody got a few pairs of those shallow pocket trackies. The amount of times I've thought I'd lost my phone only to learn it's beside the seat of my car. Phew 😅
Hahaha yep, that's exactly what hapoens to me Ron. Every time I sit in my car I hear it fall down between the seat and the door. LOL
Well done mate
hi it is good idea keep going Thank you for sharing
Awesome video my black queen is 6foot 9inches - says that on the rod in 1978 I caught 20 Redfin on in about 4 hours in the Murray
Thanks Peter. WOW thats awesome. I remember cstching reddies in the Murray too, below Lake Mulwala. Rare to see one there these days.
G'day Robbie. Great to see you deploying the legendary Black Queens. I was encouraged to buy one 15yrs ago at a fishing show at Jeff's Shed. It still gets some use and whilst they are a very "forgiving" rod, I've caught some rippa freshwater fish with it. Love the bendy action. Cheers CB
Thanks Cam. They certainly do have a lot of that bendy action. LOL
nice video mate that was a nice cod
Hey Harrison thanks so much mate.
Beautiful 👍
NICE green fish Robbie!
Thanks UF.
Nice Video. Love the new old Black Queen. Those glass eyes are very nice.
Thanks heaps Trevor.
Hi bloke been watching you since this time last year, the black Queen will never die still have to one of the best fresh water & bream & Estries rods out, I had my 7ft grandfather rod I even put new eyes on it my self got a couple of great yrs fishing with it before it got stolen at corowa few yrs now I was p**sed. Any way keep up the great work bloke
Great job again Robbie
Thanks so much Chip.
Bravo care.
Great video Robbie loving the content, keep up the good work. 😀🎣🎣🐟
Thanks so much mate.
Hi Robbie, brilliant film as usual mate. If you have time Google how to make cheese paste. It's used a lot by anglers to the south of me down in Englandshire.
Hi Andrew thanks for the heads up mate.
Lucky you mate... lucky you
Hope your well robbie good video mate enjoying them keep it up from Ryan Hobday/nsw
Thanks so much Ryan.
COUNT ya blessings bud!
The joy of history Robbie.
Nostalgia is a wonderful thing.
One of the beautys of a black queen....get a reasonable bite...they shake like an earthquake fer 30 seconds!!! Good if you're distractable!!. A few variants of queens too. Std..deluxe..new style middle style and old style. Lengths vary a bit from round 7 foot to 7 foot 8 inch or so. Love em!! The real old ones can be broken in the handle section under reel seat area. That bit is made of wood!! Glass starts under front corks..later hyperlon gripped versh shorter prob coz glass goes all the way thru handle
Hey Trevor wow thanks for thebgreat insight. Possibly the most iconic fishing rod on the market.
The bend in the rod ways makes it seem as though you're fighting a Marlin. 🤣
Hahahaha I wonder what it will look like when I hook a monster. LOL
I used to love using a genuine Black Queen for Bream fishing down East Gippsland way. I swear that you could notice a fish breathing on the bait!
Good one mate 👍👍👍
that was so great
I found a new spot up here in QLD on the North Pine River & caught a 26 cm Bass, beats a good day at work.
I heard Robbie say duelling black queen fishing rods and was so hoping to hear some banjo's playing at some stage in the video.
Hahahaha deliverance. Would have made for epic background music, and be hit with a copyright strike. LOL
@@robbiefishing Squeal for me piggy! EEEIIIII!
@@Urbanfisho hahahaha
@@robbiefishing ;oP
They are great rods the Black Queen’s I still have 3 at home there very solid
my mum (RIP) always used a black queen fishing rod. seen her catch multiple 2kg bream on that rod. she was a great fisherwoman with that thing
Hi Sean sorry to hesr about your mum. She had good taste in fishing rods mate.
good robbie .... good.
My mate from Oxley used his black queen when we fished the Goulburn between Eildon and Thornton back in the early 70,s
They certainly were a very popular trout rod back then mate..
What a video mate keep it up
Thanks so much mate.
great video robbie as always cheers 👍
Lovely murry cod. Pity line snapped. I wonder what was on the other end. We shall never know.
Thanks Vincent, I am assuming it was a massive European carp. Do you have them in your area?
Murray cod don't fight half as hard as Murray cod of the same size.
@@robbiefishing Hi my friend. Yes we have carp. They grow very big here in ireland. The polish eat them here in Ireland there looked on like turkey they have them for Christmas dinner.
awesome vid buddy, keep up the awesome work
Thanks so much Connor.
G'day Robbie, good cod and carp you caught there, just like an old bag of 50 cent mixed lollies. Awesome video as always Robbie, keep it up! I also have a a close waterway to me, its a stunning natural creek, I decided to go for a walk there the on sunday and it was flowing and majestic.
Hi mate that sounds wonderful. Sounds like a lovely spot.
you are unstoppable with both them black queens hahaha
great video mate
Haha thanks so much Daniel.
Great video mate healthy fish on the chew in winter !! That black queen is as straight as a twisty awesome stuff 🤘
Hahahaha isn't it ever. Thanks heaps Bren.
Great Joke my friend. 😁
hahahaha Thanks Wooly. :)
Brother moved down your way for w9rk about 8 months ago. Keen as to get down there and do some fishing in your neck of the woods Robbie!
Hey Ben, hopefully this horrible situation doesn't last forever and we can all move around and go fishing again.
@@robbiefishing im a few hours north of the border. So im lucky I still get to go fishing, went to South West Rocks last week. Keen to get down that way and smash some Vic trout
@@avatarofpapermagic That's awesome mate. I can still fish as long as I stay local. Its Melbourne people that can go fishing.
@@robbiefishing awesome mate, cause when I'm not out fishing your my fix haha. Stay safe mate and tight lines!
I use 120 pound line for bait fishing for cod. Never snapped off. Intact I drag out snags and get lures. 50 pound for lures.
WOW 120lb that's epic. I can see the benefits though. LOL
Haha, Robbie. My Dad had Black Queens and I'm 70. They were THE Bream rod until superseded by the Lake Pedder. Zero power, 100% bendiness, The originsl "Spaghetti" rod. Good stuff mate. Sent from Melbourne "jail" lockdown.
Thanks so much mate. Yep my dad is 70 and he used them too... including this one.
The stage 4 lockdown must be tough mate.
Stay safe down there. A fall in numbers today is a great sign.
The black queen's at its best well done mate perfect days fishing keep up the great work 👍
Thanks so much Chris, it sure is a ripper if a rod..... incredibly soft. LOL
That first carp made the rod look like a noodle
Haha didn't it ever, and it was only 52cm. Imagine what a 70cm would do. LOL
Nice work mate, beautiful cod! I'm always reluctant to pull in that 2nd rod straight away for that very reason, but it's never actually landed me a fish like you did here haha. The river definitely got high and muddy again here after all the rain, with more rain to come. Oh well, who knows maybe it might wake up the fish in my area lol
Thanks buddy. I really hope the fresh water stirs the fish up for you.
Hi Robbie I don’t want to be a pain but could you make a cray fishing video or yapping video I love These videos! Love your channel ❤️
Hey mate, its way too cold for yabbies and I'm hoping to go craying soon, but I am very limited as to where I can go with stage 3 lockdown.
Oh yeah my bad my bad stay safe
Mate what a great debut for your "new" queen you have to love the action of them lol😃. Great looking Cod. With the 2 queens sitting there took me back to when i was a kid fishing at the Patto chasing Bream. Great video as always mate keep em coming mate. Makes lockdown a bit easier.👍. And yeah i did get a bit dizzy.🙃
Thanks so much mate. Hahaha When I was measuring that carp I was thinking "this footage is going to be terribly shaky" so I ramped it up a bit. Hahaha
Well done Robbie. Great rods and great catches
#blackqueensmatter
Good one Jaron!
Hahahahahaha Thanks heaps Jaron.
Hi Robbie, do you find it better with the paternoster rig to only use the one hook rather than two? Cheers mate!!!
Hi mate, for some reason I only every use one. I know I am allowed to use 2, and have done in the past, but for some reason I only ever use one. Maybe it's the huge part of me that likes to simplify things.
@@robbiefishing It's a good rig mate i use it all the time, love your videos too mate keep it up 👍
Cant wait for lockdown to end......... Sick of sitting around at home!
I didn't have a Black Queen, but my father spent half a week's wages to get me an Erskine Deluxe, named in honour of the legendary Jack Erskine. I still have it more than 50 years on.
WOW that's awesome. I have heard of an Erskine Deluxe but never actually seen one.
We where there only 1 week ago and caught stuff all. Great video robbie
Hey Nate, that's a bugger mate. Hooefylly next time it is a better experience for you.
Hi Robbie,
Do you have a vid on the buffalo river south of the lake, if not what is the fishing like that way
Hi mate, i have spent a lot if time fishing up there buy im not sure if I have ever filmed a video up there or not to be honest. I will have to make sure I am filming next time I go up there.
love your vids at the start of the year I went to a private fish farm like about 5 mins away from where u wore fishing.
Hi mate, that sounds like fun. I dont know of any fish farms in Wangaratta, but then again if it's private thats why.
@@robbiefishing yeah its a private fish farm its in king vally up there
@@vin6694 Ah I know the one. I've never been there but I know roughly where it is. He breeds a lot of native fish.
Thats a lot more than 5 minutes from where I was fishing... closer to 45 minutes. LoL Thats what three me out.
There cat fish there and they sometimes have Australia bass and they have Murray cod and yellow belly and a lot of other fish and they have redfin in there dam
@@robbiefishing Lol i didnt quite know I just gessed
Ah yes, I remember the bend in the old Black Queen ........ pity it's been 20' underwater in the Murray for the last 35 years.
LOL I lost one on 20 feet of water at Lake Eildon once. Wasn't a black queen though. It was an NS hurricane with a Shimano Stradiv on it. LOL
@@robbiefishing Ouch ....
LOL....you and your cheese....you should arrange a filmed fishing trip with Peter Russell Clarke.....it'll be very very very good ....that's why
Hahahahaha Peter G'day Russell G'day, Ckaaaaaaaaaarke!!!
I remember his show from when I was a kid. I couldn't wait for it to finish because then Inspector Gadget would come on..🤣🤣🤣
magnificent! You use 4lb line yeah? I like my 10lb Jarvis Walker Hercules line from kmart I reckon it is a very good product and I am no sponsored! LOL My heavier rod has 15lbs. With snags and carp hard to miss a trick and it is bright yellow good to see the bites and for youtube handy for all to see. Can't wait for Monday, fine and 14 here!! Sounds hot for this time of year! hahahaha!
Haha thanks heaps Les. Yeah I use 4lb, but I will likely move uo to 6lb for that rod, I think 4 is just too light.
I will get 6lb Maxima Ultragreen and I'm not sponsored either. Hahahaha JMGillies have sent me a number of things to play with over the years but I've always bought my line. LOL
it's a year since the man and woman cop stopped by? honestly doesn't seem that long ago.... Not trying to doubt you but are you sure? I'm going to check after I watch this lol
Aug 4, 2019.......... well shit I have been watching you a while then because I'm sure I was subbed a while before this video.... if you get bored with all of your free time (lol) you could tell me when I did sub ;)
@@mrFU Hey mate, time flies when you're having fun. Is there a way to tell when someone subs is there? I had no idea. LOL I will have to look into it when I'm on my PC.
Ah yes, my home town of Wangaratta.. love seeing it
Thanks so much Lindon. Have you been gone long? I've lived here all my life and love it.
@@robbiefishing I moved to Melbourne in 2011, but my whole family still live there. Before the lockdown I'd go back home every weekend.
I didn’t hear Brett’s bells tonight? 😂😂
Hahahahahahha I won't live that down any time soon. 🤣🤣🤣
Mate I laughed for about 10 minutes afterwards it was a classic.
Shit I envy your fishing as I have come down with shingles and my right side is good for for nothing!
Hey buddy thats nit good to hear. I hope you feel better soon.
If its any consultation, I too am very unwell at the moment. , hence not replying to any comments last night.
I've heard shingles is very painful. Stay safe buddy.
G'day Robbie 👍
I literally just dug out my old man's black queen from the shed! 😅
What size reel reel would you recommend? I'm a bit of a newbie hahaha
Anything up to a 4000. But 2500 is perfect
@@dropbear68 awesome thanks Paul 👍
I like a 4 inch Alvey for rods like them, but I'm in Queensland and a bit biased lol.
I reckon a 2500 size spinning reel would be ideal mate, with 6lb line. I habe a 1000 size with 4lb line but it is too light, hence having my line snapped.
@@robbiefishing ah righto! Thanks Robbie, keep up the great work mate 👍
You should have fed some carp to the bird.
Phone keeps falling out? Next time leave the daisy dukes at home 😂
Could you do a short video about ur visit by the police
Hey buddy, the video is on youtube called "I can't believe what I caught fishing in the Ovens River".
hey robbie i got a black queen from my local fishing shop and I got 9 redies on it
WOW that is so awesome, well done mate.
@@robbiefishing thanklsw
My 2 black queens are my landbased go to rods for over 20 years.
I wouldn’t use anything else
I can see why Paul, theyre great fun.
robbiefishing they certainly are mate. I
Landed a 10kg stingray a few weeks back on one of them
Weir they yellow tail cockatoos
Yes mate, but that audio was recorded elsewhere.
....... maybe the drag queen on the black queen broke the line.........
Hahahahaha don't give away all of my secrets. 🤣🤣🤣
Why does robie catch the cleanest and best looking carp ever
I'm very selective mate. Hahaha
Hey Robbie, is there any Victorian freshwater fish you haven't caught? (That's catchable)
Hi mate, I have never caught an eel, SIlver Perch, Tupong or southern freshwater blackfish.
@@robbiefishing im sure you'd love to get the silver perch off that list
I think you need to change the name of the rod Robbie, you can't say that anymore it's offensive hahaha
Haha I have thought about that. LOL
It's a shame how super sensitive society is about things like that now. Same as coon cheese as that was the family name.
Good little session by the way
You don’t have to where a mask if you are an asthmatic but great to see you wearing one 🙏
Thanks so much Kate. I'm doing my best. They're shocking things for some asthmatics. I have noticed that some are better than others. The ones that I have to wear at work seem to be the best.
BQM
Hahahahahaha I thought about changing the title to that but thought it would be a bit too controversial. LoL
robbiefishing everyone matters mate and we all know ya not like that 👍
HEY!!! ROBBIE!!! 🤦♂️You need to STOP 🛑 FISHING 🎣 while I’M in STAGE 4 LOCKDOWN 🔐 otherwise I may have to UNSUBSCRIBE!!!! It’s just not FAIR!!! 😢.... Nah!!! Seriously Mate thanks for another entertaining Video, Helps make the next 6 maybe + weeks go by... CHEERS MATE!!! 🤣😂👍👍👍👍
Haha thanks heaps mate. It must be bloody tough for you guys. Today's numbers have dropped a lot, hopefully a good sign.
