Yarrawonga, just looks similar.
But I suppose every corner has a beach one side and a cliff the other.

Went to Lake Keepit over the weekend chasing Golden Perch. Caught 2 bloody carp on lures & 2 Murray Cod, also on trolled lures - cod season closed 2 weeks ago so came home with no fish.

So what are you supposed to do if you catch a COD and have to kill it to remove hook or lure?

I would think you snip off the line for a hook and release, and for a lure, kill the fish and eat it. Simples!!!

.......Stop fishing for life Mudski mate and hand your GU over to fisheries :-) ! Honestly never had to slaughter a fish to get a hook out or just cut the line as close as possible. Them freshwater hooks will rust soon enough and Cod have massive IC bonnet scoops to eat on going!
EDIT: Bait fishermen, single hook only usually for us mob!
EDIT #2: @mudski old mate, take your pick of the multitude of push-pull hook removers available these days, most can be done with fencing wire too bloke!

I like Phils option better. I'm a simple man and use pliers. Usually their throat and half their guts will come out with the lure.

Got to let the damn thing go with the lure still down it`s throat. Waste of a good feed if you ask me as they usually die anyway. Had this discussion with a Fishing Inspector before, he agreed it was a waste but the rules are the rules.................

A legal Cod has to be between 55 & 75 cm, had to let a 90 cm one go last season with a $37 lure stuck in it`s guts that I could not get out without killing it.

Fines are too heavy to risk keeping them.

Had some fun a few weeks back on the squid.

Didn’t get many but scored a nice one.

Was trying for whiting but got zip.

Beautiful sunny Vic arvo, finally gave the Tinny a Spring clean out and thorough wash.
Completely forgot I purchased one of these rippers back in our early saltwater days.

Out of date but still works just fine :-)
