Murray River below Hume alive and kicking

Fished the Murray just out of Rutherglen today, despite the massive floods around the area the Murray showing no ill effects. Have wanted to catch a Murray Cod for over 40 years and thought that the extreme rainfall would again defeat me.....but the Murray was unaffected and is in FINE shape, despite fishing worms, bardies grubs (frozen and bought for $4 a piece) and yabbies not a single carp seen, worms kept being eaten by large Murray crayfish but they kept letting go near the bank. Landed 4 cod, two were small but on super light tackle (5lb line and collapsible shimano rods) the other two were good fish. Not huge but cod all the same

Another one ticked off the bucket list, congratulations sunshine. Although I love fishing off the WA coast, I do miss the Mighty Murray when I see pics like yours.
