Yummo the tasty mosquito 😅 That was giant that long neck turtle. PB 😂 Rip the new shrimp trap, at least you still managed a few shrimp still. Christmas comes early with every Rohan video 🔔🔔 Great to see some natives. Keep up the awesome work mate 🎣
Not the PB I was expecting, that turtle was huge! Always nice to catch some Silver Perch, they are fun to catch. Great job as always, thanks for sharing Rohan!
Thanks heaps Cooper! Try to fish close to the snags (without losing lures if possible LOL). Cod are an ambush predator so they hide under and behind structure to ambush their prey. Casting along the banks can be good if it looks like the water might undercut the dirt a bit. Good luck mate
Someone told me they are a 'western carp gudgeon' which is a native fish! Glad someone knew what they were because when I tried to google different types of minnows it just showed me heaps of different lures LOL
Thanks so much mate. I actually watched half of your cod opening video last night before I got too tired and had to go to bed LOL. I gotta few vids to catch up on including the second half of yours, should get to it shortly
G'day Rowan Happy new year buddy, was that a long neck Murray. I recently bought my daughter a short Neck Murray but I'm looking after it, you might know if l we're get rid off him in the compaspe would that be ok to do so and would be survive.
Thanks heaps mate, happy new year! I'm really not sure about the rules regarding turtles but they usually recommend not releasing tamed pets into the wild because they aren't used to providing for themselves, and they also get exposed to all kinds of viruses and stuff that they aren't ready for.
when i was growing up and my dad use to take me fishing with his mates they use to call the old worm/shrimp bait a mixed grill, from memory it wasn t a bad bait
I took my son and nephew there two weeks ago lost a big carp got two more carp a silver and a red to your right in the leafs above the stones are heaps of worms
Ah yeah there's plenty of carp around. Good to see the silvers in there though. Haha yeah thats been a good spot for worms since the stones have been there.
Thanks heaps Les! Ah ok yeah I was worried they might be a pest, but lets be honest if my net wasn't in that day they would still be swimming around anyway! I'll do some extra research and hopefully do the right thing next time. Thanks again mate
hahaha I'm pretty sure you're just being funny but just in case I'll say they are a protected species, we have to release them with the least harm possible. Thanks heaps mate
I thought guppies had a big fan tail? These ones seemed to have a small tail. Then again I don't know much about minnows LOL. Pretty things whatever they were!
Silver perch! A new addition to my “couch fishing” adventures. What did I think of this video? That PB turtle made my day! My hope is you continue to catch turtles EVERY video.😂😂😂
haha it had been ages since I caught one as well but they have found me again recently. Thanks Brenton. I saw in Robbie's comments that you've been unwell mate, I hope you are back on your feet soon.
@@RKJFishing thanks Rohan. Yes getting better but my first dose of COVID has hit pretty hard. I hoping to get out fishing this weekend which is about 14 days since I had COVID. So don’t know how Robbie did it so soon but good on him
@@captainfrank01 To be fair it was probably the biggest plastic bag I've ever caught as well LOL! Sorry I haven't watched your latest yet I've been flat out! I'll crack a beer and watch it shortly mate
Hey buddy thanks heaps and thanks for your concern, I'm actually feeling great at the moment, I was just keeping my voice down because of the guy in the swag that was camped just upstream haha. I boosted the volume a bit which might have made my voice sound a bit hoarse
@RKJFishing Awesome, I thought you may have caught the covid from Robbie. I'm glad to hear you're fit and healthy. Keep that awesome content coming along. I'm looking forward to the next.
I had to google that to see what you were even talking about, but I reckon you're right Phil! The broad shelled river turtle looks exactly like what I caught. What a monster! I'm proud to have seen one in person
@@RKJFishing Used to encounter them more often when I was a kid. They are different from the common longneck by being lager and having a plain belly instead of the markings of that species. Classified as "vurnerable" in Vic.
A fun video. Variety is the spice of life.
Thanks Vincent, you've got that right!
That "pulse" you mentioned feeling in the little Silver Rohan has earnt them the nickname "grunter:" Strong little buggers .
ah ok that's unreal. They sure are strong you're right about that
You can hear it with the big ones, I used to call them grunters as a kid since that's what the older folks referred to them as.
@@tworodsdownunder Yep, same, Silver Grunter.
I probably qualify as one of those old blokes your talking about 😄@freshwateranglerkev
@@tworodsdownunder I've definitely heard the 40cm models grunting!
Yummo the tasty mosquito 😅
That was giant that long neck turtle.
PB 😂
Rip the new shrimp trap, at least you still managed a few shrimp still.
Christmas comes early with every Rohan video 🔔🔔
Great to see some natives.
Keep up the awesome work mate 🎣
Thanks so much mate. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Nice mate glad to see you sticking a few mate and a bit more bait to cheers mate keep them coming
Cheers Michael
Awesome work mate. I thought your PB was going to be the "Plastic Bag". Haha
Loved the Silver's..
LOL I've definitely caught bigger bags hahaha. Thanks heaps Robbie, always nice to see a silver on the end of the line
That thing was huge, Rohan 😮
haha I know right! It was like a steering wheel in my hands lol
Not the PB I was expecting, that turtle was huge! Always nice to catch some Silver Perch, they are fun to catch. Great job as always, thanks for sharing Rohan!
Thanks so much Larry, that thing was a dinosaur aye! haha
That was a big old turtle for sure!
Haha yeah that one had been around for a while aye! Thanks Roo
'That thing is HUGE!' (That's what she said!)
hahahaha (I get that a lot)
@@RKJFishing I'm sure you DO! ;o)
Nice job Rohan! I’m going to cod fish in the Campaspe soon. Do you have any tips?
Thanks heaps Cooper! Try to fish close to the snags (without losing lures if possible LOL). Cod are an ambush predator so they hide under and behind structure to ambush their prey. Casting along the banks can be good if it looks like the water might undercut the dirt a bit. Good luck mate
Thanks Rohan much appreciated!
You are now Turtle 🐢 Man Rohan 🤣 been catching those small fish 🐟 myself and I’m puzzled too on what they are 🧐🤗
Someone told me they are a 'western carp gudgeon' which is a native fish! Glad someone knew what they were because when I tried to google different types of minnows it just showed me heaps of different lures LOL
Congratshellations on the pb mate, lovely looking spot.
hahaha thanks Joel
Love the spelling!
Bit hard to tell from the video but those minnows are either gambusia or one of several types of carp gudgeon
ah ok thanks mate! It's so hard to tell because anytime I search 'minnow' on google it just gives me lures LOL
grouse session rohan done well
Thanks so much mate. I actually watched half of your cod opening video last night before I got too tired and had to go to bed LOL. I gotta few vids to catch up on including the second half of yours, should get to it shortly
@@RKJFishing oh that's awesome to hear you've had a look mate thank you
Mosquito fish also known as guppies👌
Ah ok cheers mate thanks
@@RKJFishing all good mate I’m doing some yabbying at got a few in my collapsible bait trap👌
Rohan good bait for shimp is soap bar
I used to like the old soaps from 30 years ago. The new ones aren't as good
Those little fish will be murray river rainbow fish. We get them over in the loddon alot
Possibly but these were quite transparent, rainbow fish tend to have scales kind of like a carp. Not 100% sure
G'day Rowan Happy new year buddy, was that a long neck Murray. I recently bought my daughter a short Neck Murray but I'm looking after it, you might know if l we're get rid off him in the compaspe would that be ok to do so and would be survive.

when i was growing up and my dad use to take me fishing with his mates they use to call the old worm/shrimp bait a mixed grill, from memory it wasn t a bad bait
hahaha I like that name! The mixed grill. If I remember to call it that in a video hopefully I remember to credit you with the name!
I took my son and nephew there two weeks ago lost a big carp got two more carp a silver and a red to your right in the leafs above the stones are heaps of worms
Ah yeah there's plenty of carp around. Good to see the silvers in there though. Haha yeah thats been a good spot for worms since the stones have been there.
Found some really good yabbies out of town to
So what time did you actually have your first and last cast !
I didn't take note of the time but probably around 6:30am to 10:30am?
Well done Rohan! They look like mosquito fish, eastern gambusia, pest. But no harm really in letting them go there is 1000000000000s of them.
Thanks heaps Les! Ah ok yeah I was worried they might be a pest, but lets be honest if my net wasn't in that day they would still be swimming around anyway! I'll do some extra research and hopefully do the right thing next time. Thanks again mate
Awesome job, Rohan. So what is the length and bag limit for turtles?
hahaha I'm pretty sure you're just being funny but just in case I'll say they are a protected species, we have to release them with the least harm possible. Thanks heaps mate
They are guppies mate
I thought guppies had a big fan tail? These ones seemed to have a small tail. Then again I don't know much about minnows LOL. Pretty things whatever they were!
You are correct, I’m just taking the piss 😂@@RKJFishing
@@Rocco10104 hahahaha I had no idea mate! Like I said I don't know much about minnows LOL
5:35 hey Rohan, that's my local species called the Parra River rag (aka the georges river special)... Get them regularly up here and my PB is 1.2m 😂❤
I clicked your timestamp and it gave me an ad for a 4wd car LOL. Gotta say 1.2m is pretty small for a car hahahaha.
@@RKJFishing😅 you get an ad before you skip the video to that point I think, I just got one for the new Santa movie 😂
@@Jorre-Fisk hahaha nah mate that Santa was part of my fishing video you just didn't realize it LOL
@@RKJFishing 😂
Silver perch! A new addition to my “couch fishing” adventures. What did I think of this video? That PB turtle made my day! My hope is you continue to catch turtles EVERY video.😂😂😂
hahaha thanks Dave, I thought you would like that big one!
@@RKJFishing u bet!😁🐢
Well done on the new PB. It has been ages since I have caught a turtle. That one you caught was huge
haha it had been ages since I caught one as well but they have found me again recently. Thanks Brenton. I saw in Robbie's comments that you've been unwell mate, I hope you are back on your feet soon.
@@RKJFishing thanks Rohan. Yes getting better but my first dose of COVID has hit pretty hard. I hoping to get out fishing this weekend which is about 14 days since I had COVID. So don’t know how Robbie did it so soon but good on him
Good job Robbie, I got my first cod luers today and I’m gonna go fishing and hopefully catch my first cod
Thanks mate! That's awesome Tom, good luck
Now i'm confused you have changed your name to robbie. Lol great video btw rohan , oh i meant robbie 😊😊😊
@@brumbyrider54 hahaha nah mate I'm still Rohan, but I answer to any name LOL. Thanks heaps
The dreaded turtles again, they always remember! Those plastic bags don't put up much of a fight do they Rohan? A couple of nice SP though.
hahaha thanks Frank
@@RKJFishing So the PB WAS for the turtle not the plastic bag! I gave you a brief mention in my last video.
@@captainfrank01 To be fair it was probably the biggest plastic bag I've ever caught as well LOL! Sorry I haven't watched your latest yet I've been flat out! I'll crack a beer and watch it shortly mate
Thanks for an entertaining session. Nice mixed bag. You sound a little under the weather, mate. Stay safe, and thanks for the content.
Hey buddy thanks heaps and thanks for your concern, I'm actually feeling great at the moment, I was just keeping my voice down because of the guy in the swag that was camped just upstream haha. I boosted the volume a bit which might have made my voice sound a bit hoarse
@RKJFishing Awesome, I thought you may have caught the covid from Robbie.
I'm glad to hear you're fit and healthy. Keep that awesome content coming along. I'm looking forward to the next.
Good video Rohan, good to see you have a good session. That turtle was huge!! I would of measured it for sure Haha. Well done mate
Thanks Jacob. Haha I wasn't hanging onto it long enough to get a measurement that thing was hissing and angry! I might have lost a finger LOL
@@RKJFishing yep, that's fair Haha, I would of been the same, stuff that. Haha
hahaha bloody turtle i caught my first turtle today it probably quite a bit bigger than yours it was huge great job on the silvers tho
Thanks Ned. Wow well done mate
That's 5 PBs this year rohan
haha yeah I know! All in the last 4 months or so as well, which is crazy! I might even sneak 1 more in before new years at this rate LOL
@@RKJFishing really hope you can enjoy watching all the great videos
Thanks so much Brent
