A stones throw from my place!

Last time I was in that loc was about 1978 :)
Finally booked my accommodation for the Cod Classic for the first weekend in December.
After I had booked a 3bedroom house in June as I had several people wanting to come up with me, have now change there minds, and I don't want to pay for the house on my own (me and my brother) lucky the unit I always get every year, still had my name on it from last year, even though they knew I had booked the 3 bed house, go figure.
As there are only two weekends left in the Murray Cod Season I am going up to Christies Beach (Near Echuca) this weekend.
Friday through Sunday.
If anybody is interested give me a PM
I am probably going craying tomorrow and Friday (overnight). We camp on private property on the Goulburn. Might be room for a couple more people if anyone is keen.
I had to tough it out today on the Goulburn...........
7 crays between us we will cook them up tomorrow night.

Acouple of carp but no other fish.
Great catch, river looks high too.
I love the anticipation when lifting a net, has it got one or not, then you see 3 and scream woohoo. Lol
I spoke thoroughly to NSW Fisheries today in regards to the Cod regulation being spoken about.
I have now found out, after months of discussion regarding the Murray Cod NSW fisheries and now talking about a 60-80cm size limit and a one fish catch limit.
However, I also heard that DPI Vic are still talking about a 50-70cm size limit, which is pretty silly both departments not co operating together to get a national limit on Australia's largest fresh water fish.
If the two states do have two different size limits there will certainly many problems arising.
One that comes to mind is the Bundalong boat ramp is on the entrance of the Ovens river (Victorian waters) and only a short trip to the Murray river proper (NSW waters)
So now your fishing on the Murray in NSW waters, and you have caught a 79cm cod which is a legal size for Nsw fisheries, you now come back to the Bundalong boat ramp on the Ovens (Vic waters) with Vic fisheries at the ramp checking catches.
Your 79cm Murray cod is now an illegally kept fish cos you are now on Victorian waters on the Ovens.
Ridiculous.
Perhaps they should then make the size limit bound by which state license you hold?
