Hi all,

Have been hitting the water pretty hard since Cod opening and the results have been good, no huge fish yet but they will come soon enough.

Not all fish have been caught out of the yak, but the yak has helped me get to the spots where the fish are.

Heres a few pics from the last week.

Hope you enjoy my pictures, should have heaps more over the next few months.

Will be going out again tonight for some more surface lure action, they are really starting to fire up now.

Cheers, Allan

They are Bassman spinnerbaits in the 3/8 size, had some great success on them last year & they are allways 1st to hit the water when I go cod chasing.

Cheers, Allan

G'day Red,

Sorry but I cant give exact details of location, perhaps after I get to know a few of you I can pass on some info privately, I've had some of my spots blabbed about recently on the www :wink:

Cod at first dont come easy but once you get it sussed out they can become a regular catch, the key is to keep the lure in the water close to structure and dont be afraid to lose a lure or two.

Cheers, Allan

Great fish and pics Allan

 

[Guest]

Red,

It's an Australis bass with a few mods, nothing too flash but it does the trick.

Cheers, Allan

 

[Dodge]

Allan some beautiful fish there mate...are you a pure cod man or do you target other species as well

 

[paffoh]

Funda,

Glad you made it over from Fishnet, your right about the blabbing bit... those 17 year old young ones tend to explode in excitement once they think they have been welcomed into the highly secretive world of the Cod. <sigh>

Ive been watching your posts on Fishnet for a while now and cant comprehend how you do it, wicked photos and some amazing fish and what a beard... hope to bump into you around LBG in the future ( Look out for a tandem hobie, ill try and pedal round your facial hair! ).

Welcome aboard mate.

LOVE IT

 

[bazzoo]

Great fish Alan and top photographs, nice to see a baitcaster in use , love those reels ,ASH ASH , PUT DOWN THAT RAZOR BLADE, DONT DO IT ASH :shock: :shock: :shock:

 

[Guest]

G'day Dodge,

Cod are where my heart is, theres nothing better than seeing that big darling smiling at me before the release, I love the coast and chase jews n big lizzards when I can get away but the icons of the fresh are the best thing available close to home.

Cheers, Allan

 

[Guest]

G'day Derek I've seen your posts there too, thanks for the wrap :wink:

I'm over the big sites and prefer the smaller more personalised forums these days, all I get on the big forums is bad cases of envy from a certain few wannabees so have decided to leave em with it.

I hope I can help a few of you guys get amongst the cod, I have no problem sharing info as long as I know the people I'm sharing it with have the right attitude towards our great fishery we have here.

A big thanks to all who posted here for the warm welcome, I appreciate it.

Cheers, Allan

ps. only two little fish tonight on spinnerbaits, both released without worrying bout pics.

Nice work Allan! love a good cod! I am still trying for my first, I know my time will come soon I hope! I am Ash who Red mentioned above, I almost fainted :lol: :shock:

 

[Guest]

Ash you've been trying pretty hard by the sounds of it, perhaps a little too hard?

When you get your 1st you'll never look back, but be careful when that big one hits that you dont panic, a lot can go wrong in the 1st few seconds with the big green fish.

Cheers, Allan

 

[aleg75]

Ash you've been trying pretty hard by the sounds of it, perhaps a little too hard?

Yeah maybe too much :lol: but I havent been on the water for at least a week now........will try mid week, do some slow trolling near snags along Black Mountain Peninsula!

Could you give me one tip though? What time of day is your most productive?

 

[Guest]

Ash,

Best times have been early morning before 9am and after 7pm till 10pm of an evening.

Mate forget trolling and work over likely areas throwing lures right in tight on the snags, look for drop offs on the sounder and work the lure right in close bumping along the structure every now and then, spinnerbaits are a great tool for this style of fishing.

Work over each snag with at least 20 to 30 casts where you think the fish would be, it's fairly common to get hit just as your thinking of moving on.

Trolling really is a bit hit and miss and not the best method in my opinion, the fish only gets to see the lure once hence you dont get the strike of a territorial fish, if you feel your line going slack when winding a good fish has had a big strike and missed, so get the lure back in the same spot asap.

HTH

Cheers, Allan
