Since everyone's o nice around here I thought I try a not-so-Patrol question.
I'll head off with my GQ pretty soon and think I'll pay the mighty Murray a visit before heading over to Fraser Island. And with all that water around I'd like to give fishing a try. But what gear do I really need?? What fish will I encounter and what bait / lure do I need? Should I store the rod in a PVC pipe on the roof rack?
Sorry to bother you with all the beginner questions...
We use 30 lb dyneema braid on the murray , As you never know when the big one will hit, lets call him Hank, size 1-00 hooks bean sinkers. Rod holder, bell if you like them. series 4000 style reel. plus some lures, most lures catch more fisherman than fish

Bait you would get local,scrub worms and yabbies, bardie grubs too $$$$$ or on the Murray a shrimp net with velvet soap or cat food tin pierced.use 2 shrimp the idea is they fight and the noise they make attracts fish comfy chair broard brim hat some sun block, ahhh lifes good, going to the Murray for Cod opening on the 29th of Nov ,,,,interested??? come on Flow you know you want to

I would go with threedogs on bait...... scrub worms and small bait yabbies.
Although I have a few hundred dollars worth of gear, my favourite outfit at the moment is a Jervis Walker combo with a JW2500 series reel which I purchased from K-mart for $12 on special about a month ago. I am outfishing the boys with it using the above bait and and swapping out with my favourite single blade spinner occasionally.
You don't need to spend a heap in order to catch some serious fish. Scrubbies can be found anywhere damp, under logs or built up debris...
Again, with threedogs on the comfy chair, good hat, sunscreen and a few brews if you are not driving...... Have fun and remember even a small fish on your line counts
Flow you can't beat fishing, the serenity, oooh the serenity. Even a bad day is good, If possible you should drop into the Cod classic at Yarrawonga.
This is for the crazy and not so crazy, but huge prizes available. some try to cheat by teathering fish before the event. plenty only fish once a year
at this event

dont forget your old fashion black spinner bait. Ive caught more GooDoo with an old black spinner bait than anything else.
I had an awesome night's fishing aroiund the banks of Mullwala with some surface "buzz baits" the cod were going off, much to the surprise of my fishing companion who will remain nameless just to say he is a fishing legend in the Riverina region. He told to chuck my "buzz baits" over board. He soon changed his mind after I landed four cod over 900mm!
The old "bardi grub" cheese moulds work well too, easy to make and easy to keep,,,,,,
Mates went fishing up Eildon instead of the Murray Whilst I was in Hospital, 8 trout, one yella belly 12lbs. all on Tassie Devils and from boat.
Nothing for the land fishos.
To Sam697, small fish do count at the end of the day, however Carp or NON FISH will not be excepted in final count.
BigFella Cod over 900mm gotta be happy with that. what the best eating size, I think 650 min is at upper level any bigger ???
