Excellent fishing ahead of the flush
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 жов 2020
- After heavy rains I decided to go fishing ahead of the flush that I knew was coming.
I headed to the far lower reaches of the Ovens River to stay ahead of the floodwater. I knew the river would still be OK to fish, but wasn't expecting the great fishing that I encountered.
I had an absolute blast catching plenty of carp and also a couple of small Murray cod.
I love fishing in that area and look forward to returning once the flood waters receed.

The intro gets me every time, so good
Another cracking video in a beautiful spot in the world. Thanks mate.
Lovely to see a long vid 😃
Great use of the net. Great job.
Thanks heaps Vincent.
Hey Robbie. Another fantastic video. It's great to see the northern rivers are so alive and well.
Thanks so much mate.
Mate loving your videos even down here in the Murray river we're experiencing more carp than usual as well pest fisb but huge suzes and most of the fat ones are full of eggs so each one we catch and dispatch we're stopping the infestation just a little at a time. Keep up the great work buddy very entertaining as well as interesting watching whats happening up higher well done
Water looks GOOD there!
It happens Robbie Great video ❤️
the duck joke was a beauty, that pure bread would be worth some dough
Hahahaha LOL
Awesome trip mate well done 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much Cam.
I've done a lot of fishing in my day from boat,surf fishing and trout fishing. But never gone after cod or yellow belly. I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much Hemmie.
Love your vids Robbie and your jokes 😂
Haha thanks so much John
Bravo.
I have to say I'm a little bit jealous of how many carp you're catching lately haha, that was unreal! Great video mate.
...... and not a bell to be heard lol ......
@@captainfrank01 hahahaha Frank! LMAO
haha Thanks buddy. I am having an absolute dream run.
I'm not! More jealous of the COD he caught! Nice to see!
Cracking video mate
I’ve been watching your vids since you started when I watched you straightaway I knew you were my favourite fisherman mate
Hi mate thank you so much.
Wow what an afternoon! They were coming thick and fast Robbie. Most of those carp looked very healthy other than the poxy one, but as far as weight was concerned anyway. Picturesque scenery and bush sounds that I've come to love so much from your videos. You have made this years lockdowns that much more bearable for me and I hope for many others. Keep up the great work Robbie.
Hey Damian thanks so much for your wonderful comment mate. Hooefully Dan gives you a but more freedom thus Sunday.
Your right Robbie, you gotta look out for the big browns this time of year!
Entertaining asusual Robbie,keep trucken mate.
Thanks mate. 👍👍
Clear as day in that 4K resolution that was a 78cm yella 😉 just read that 300,000 whales died that are an accidental bycatch from commercial fishermen in nets and people whinge about one guy keeping one fish for a feed here and there 🤔
Unbelievable isn't it! Some people should just stick to hugging trees. 78cm... Yeah I reckon you're right mate, I may have guessed slightly down so as to avoid being accused of stretching the truth.
Nice one mate...
Good video mate 👍👍
Great stuff mate a great days fishing. I went to Elmore yesterday caught a little cod and seen Rohan had a really good chat to him top bloke 👍
Hey buddy thats awesome. He sure is a champion fella isn't he.
Love your work champ, the intro is gold 👍🤙
Get video mate love them
Thanks for the Great videos Robbie! I've only recently started watching your channel with my young kids, as they are now getting into fishing also - loving the show, and the jokes.
Thank you so much for your kind words Vince.
Great video again,
I don’t mind the old quick carp stomp, quick and painless. I have thrown them back in the water before, I figure they’ll end up feeding some shrimp and yabbies
Just for reference Notes in Vic handbook on Carp “Do not leave dead fish on shore at the fishing location, dead carp can be returned to the water, cut the carcass so it sinks”
I choose the bury the carcass of carp so the ones with eggs aren’t returned to the water because carp eggs can survive for a long time and still be hatched.
Hey Robbie I love the longer vid so please keep them up. hope you're doing well🐟
Thanks so much mate. I habe another one coming up early next week. Loaded with fishing action too it is.
@@robbiefishing me to. 👍🍻
robbiefishing can't wait
Don't know what it is Robbie, but your videos get me bloody keen to get out there myself. But also are such a great anti depressant haha. Love your work mate
haha Thanks so much Ben. Hopefully you can get out soon. I absolutely love fishing. I love everything about it and try to convey that through my videos. I don't "pretend" to enjoy myself for video sakes. I genuinely love it.
@@robbiefishing thats why you have a following mate. Can tell your genuine. Ill get out soon, just a bit over carp fishing haha. Miss the coast and QLD fishing. Plus I have to get down your way to visit the bro after harvest season and Covid19. Supposedly some good trout that im keen to have a try for
Great videos i caught 10 aus samon 8 tailor good morning session keep up fishing i would love to go fishing with you one day never caught murry cod caught tones of big carp 👍👍👍👍
WOW That sounds awesome. I would love to do more salt water fishing but it is hard when I live so far away from the salt. Thanks heaps mate.
Hi Robbie just want to say I love your videos and I also love going cod fishing
Thanks so much mate.
Your on fire today Robbie . Great selection of fish mate.
Thanks Jaron, they were going nuts mate!
Would be some great fish in there mate
Sure is mate.
In the words of Eddie Van Halen “JUMP! On the carps head” hahaha
MAY he Rock In Peace!
Glad you liked the dog, duck and bread joke Robbie - it was the yeast I could do ..... Great fishing!
hahahahahaha LMAO Thanks Frank.
Ps I bloody love these long vids there grate
Thanks so much buddy.
Picture early 1960's. The elders of my family have lived through WWII and Korea. They are survivors of depression era parents. So they practice tight finances. An uncle I fished with showed me how to prepare carp for eating. Caught carp were taken home and placed in livestock water troughs. Just tap water for a few days. You could see a color change as the clean water cycled out some of the mud. Then they are filleted. A carp fillet is thick. Lots of shoulder and back. As soon as they come off the skin you cut the mud line (lateral line that is always dark in color and tends to be oily, and strong fishy smell/taste). Then use your favorite cooking method to produce some massive fillets of nice flakey white meat. Tis is where I learned to bread with corn meal. This process actually produced a very tasty fillet in abundance. I've rambled. Maybe you'll try a holding tank for carp. See the difference those few days of clean water make. My uncle loved to fish. His sister (my Mum) was an awesome cook. Anytime I could persuaded her into fillets that's what I had for breakfast. There are other recipes where carp meat is used to make fish cakes. Again, the economic mentality comes to play. Like salmon cakes but very inexpensive and a very tasty meal. Gosh, have I rambled on here. Just sharing.
Thanks for sharing, that is wonderful. I have tried eating them several different ways and on each occasion they were poor eating.
The last time I ate them the.fleshnwas nice, but the bones were horrendous.
@@robbiefishing as I aged I learned that my uncle must have been a fillet master craftsman lol. It took me quite a bit of trial and error till I could get boneless fillets. It's a delicate process. A raw (untreated) carp tends to be oily and fishy in taste. But those few days of fresh water before processing really changes all that bad. Another possibility may be the difference in breeds between here and there? Also here I noticed carp taken from waters in areas heavy with limestone tend to be "skunky". Sometimes almost a sulfur smell if you processed them which trial and error ended quickly. Also waters with higher oxygen content (moving waters) produce a better fish than still waters. Now carp eating is not the norm here. More don't than do. There is an old "carp recipe" that circulates heavily here. Perfect carp dinner. Take a 1" thick cedar plank the size of the carp. Prepare the carp to your favorite fish recipe. Place it on the cedar plank and bake to desired texture. Remove carp, eat the cedar plank lol. So it's not a popular practice. Here we have many species of smaller fish like bluegill, sunfish, perch, an assortment of bass other than large mouth bass. These are lumped together under one of two terms. The northern states tend to call these species panfish. The southern states tend to use the term bream. But all of these are very tasty table fare with bones being the only difference. Some are easier to cut bone free than others. If I'm sharing things you already know I apologize. I'm fascinated by various cultural differences. When I first learned that New Zealand and Australia practice fishing for sharks from a rubber ring I was like sign me up lol. But I've seen those videos. Some of those fishermen take some wild rides depending what they tie into. That practice hasn't hit the US in a widespread way just yet. I know New Zealand has a name for that sort of fishing but I can't recall it just now.
Hey Mate, great to see an Aussie fishing channel that isn't a polished pro fisherman doing the videos. (I'm certainly not saying your Videos are not of a high quality) You just give honest unbiased information on gear and techniques that work for you. And as someone who grew up fishing for yellow belly, Eel tail catfish and fresh water mullet in south east and western Qld using bamboo poles for rods with worms suspended from floats. I have great memories of bobbing for Yella's.
Thanks so much mate. I only just noticed this comment now sorry.
I do my best to always just be me. I'm a professional at having fun, but not fishing. Haha I know enough to get by..
Wow! So many fish Robbie! You can tell your mates that the fish that snapped you off was a meter cod. 👍
hahaha Probably more believable than a 70cm yellowbelly mate/ LOL ANd... THANK YOU sooooo much for my amazing gift. I absolutely love it. I just opened it and filmed it this afternoon. Hopefully it will be up tomorrow night mate.
@@robbiefishing Your very welcome Robbie
Bahaha loved the bird talking made me crack up laughing great stuff Robbie. Big fan of your videos as I love me fishing aswell 👍
Hey buddy thanks so much mate. 👍
awsome video mate i think this is one of your best bait fishing videos keep it up.👍
Hey Harrison thanks so much mate.
luv ur channel robbo
Hey champ thanks so much mate.
@@robbiefishing last 4 days just been watchng ur vids lol
I WAS THE 800TH LIKER . KEEP ON KEEPING ON ROBBIE
Thanks so much for watching AND for the thumbs up mate.
Mantap sekali ikanya pak robbie.👍👍👍😃
Hey Mate 30min or 60min would be great we could watch you whatever time we feel like. Keep up the excellent work. 👍Cheers mate
Thank you so much Mick.
You got some good 1s there! Better than nothing!
That last mud marlin almost got the best of you Robbie!
Haha your not wrong mate. I already lost one after I landed it... almost 2. LOL
Great video Robbie you caught that many carp you were throwing them away at the end haha
haha Thanks buddy. LOL I even caught one twice! LOL
Hi robbie you ever tried Shakespeare big s for red fin? my biggest was 3.6lbs caught on that lure in red fin colours 😉 live in Scotland or I would send one out.
Awesome vid again mate; I love seeing carp being removed from the system. I see it as an environmental service.
Thanks mate. Haha and a fun one at that. LOL
hey robbie quick tip for when a fish gets you snagged and they are still on you should pull on the fish then flip your bail arm so it seems like the line snapped and the fish thinks its free the wind in the slack when it starts t swim of
Don't worry Robbie it won't be the last time
shame you didn't land that 70cm yellow :'D. Great video robbie
Robbie, Rohan yor make tells us that Carp should be despatched the guts opened up then thrown back so they don't float like your fish dod
Hi Rob,
I just watched this video and I think you're doing an excellent job, but the part where you kill the carp and kick it back into the water I disagree because the carp floats and eventually bloats and stinks and end's up on the bank somewhere. I kill the carp and then cut them across the belly until I hear their airbag burst and then I throw them back into the water. This way they sink to the bottom for the shrimp and yabbys to eat instead of ending up on the bank somewhere stinking the place out.
Keep up the good work and cheers Dave
Thanks mate. That's a great idea and is what I do in populated areas.
Robbie you should of jumped in the water ths fish is most likely still wrapped around the snag 😂.
The tradgity isn't that you had to kill the carp and throw it back, but the fact they were ever released here in the first place. All you carp lovers, come take the damn things back!
all good mate, you have to remove carp. Love yr vids Thankyou
It's got me buggered why Robbie keeps asking us where the net is, when he's the one who put the bloody thing down?😉😀
Hahaha
Hay mate just a question, do you throw in all the carp into the rivers and lakes that you kill?
We take them home and dig a hole great for garden etc. I know why u chuck in river cause smell.
But there is a chance they could still breed
That red gross rashy stuff on the carp seems to be a common thing in the ovens ive caught lots cod and carp that have it on there sides... most of which have been in up near myrtleford.
Thanks Curtis, yeah I have been seeing it a bit lately too. I wonder if it has to do with them spawning? Or whether it may be some kind of rash?
@@robbiefishing yes i think it may be a rash. Over the last few years ive noticed it getting worse and a more common thing to see. Bit concerning but it doesn't seem to effect the fish?
Love it you are my 10 year old sons hero along with Rohan and has created his own channel to be just like you 😂
Thank you so much for your very kind words mate. Just what a needed. I hope your young bloke has enormous success with his channel.
@@robbiefishing thanks I just realised I commented on your post as his channel oops sorry instead of as his mum 🤣
@@JJs_fishing haha that's perfectly fine. I just subscribed to his channel. Haha
@@robbiefishing lol I just showed him your comment he’s jumping around crazy saying you’re amazing you have just made his day after his donut day haha THANKYOU so much 🙏
G'day Robbie, another great vid mate, those carp were going off, hey do you ever throw lures for the yellow belly in those parts of the river or is it not as effective in that type of of water.
Cheers.
Thanks Daryl. I would mate, but there's not a lot of yellowbelly in there and all I would do is catch spawning Murray cod, so I am happy to leave the lures off for the cod spawning season. If I want to catch yellas on lures I will head elsewhere, Like Lake Hume or Lake Nillahcootie.
Didn’t wanna go in for a swim Robbie haha
Love watching the carp action…I absolutely hate our laws on Carp.
I used to have a fantastic honey hole along the banks of The Torrens River in Adelaide’s CBD, fair smack in the city I always used a paternoster with sweet corn and used to walk away with at least 20 every session which I then used as burley and bait for Bronze Whaler shark.
That was a night time spot, usually from about 6-7pm right through to 1-3am and it was only about a 15min drive from home.
Now the government in it’s infinite wisdom has decided to install those electric net/cage systems and now you can sit there for 6hrs without a single nibble.
The Torrens is now dead, unfortunately I can’t afford the fuel to drive an hour and a half to Bowhill on the Murray regularly so now my Carp sessions are few and far between
Better than the carp devastating our river systems, carp are a blight in Australian waters
We’re you fishing at Bundalong here mate.
Heading up there for cup weekend.
Do you think it will be flooded cup weekend
I dunno is it that great being excited about dirty bloody carp 🤷♀️ good your getting them out of the waterways
Might not be for you but a lot of people enjoy catching them, myself included.
@@robbiefishing all good Rob 👍
Hey Robbie what are great trawlling lures for red fin and great to see a long vid come out
Thanks mate. It all depends on water clarity and depth mate. Theres not 1 size fits all buddy.
@@robbiefishing it’s about 8 to 12 metres deep does that help
If its for trout tazzy devels are good
@@oldsault oh thanks man I think we have them I’ll give em a go if I hopefully get my kayak for christmas
Anything red for Redfin. Tassie Devils will catch you both trout and redfin. Red Celta's spinners used to be my go to. Always smash redfin. Also any minnow, with red will smash them. Best of luck!
It's funny how people think the 4&6 is really light. Back in my youth I use to fish the Barwon river with 1lb line. The hardest thing you will ever do
haha I agree mate. As long as it is paired up with the right rod it is great. It would be too light on an 8kg graphite rod. LOL
Robbie awesome session mate have ever thought of getting a long handle net of even a gaff or is a gaff to brutal for youTube
Hey Phil, everything is too brutal for youtube mate so it doesn't matter. LOL People winge if I kill a fish, release a fish or even just go fishing. LOL I would just use it anyway. I do find it very hard to gaff carp though. My other net has a longer handle, but is a smaller net. LOL
Is that a Jarvis Walker Black Queen
Hey Robbie, when are you going to chase the big Redfin? Also what is the biggest Redfin you have caught cheers jake
I think your supposed to cut them so the carcase sinks
Nice work mate I like you comment if I catch a yellabelly I'm Gunna kill it and I'm going to eat it hahaha
Your so close to 43k subs could you go to the broken creek and get yellowbelly can’t wait for your kayak vids
Thanks mate. Hoping to get back over there soon.
Robbie you need 15 lb braid it,s the best
That would be great line, but I much prefer to bait fish with mono.
The Mayor of Mud Town returns.👍
hahahaha yep!
what river is that. Really nice, seems like fairly calm water
Hi mate it is the Ovens River near Bundalong so it is back up by Lake Mulwala, hence the water being calm.
@@robbiefishing Very nice. Thanks Robbie. Good luck trying to find a day without rain this week for fishing ;). I went out to Goulburn river near Tallarook then at a lake in Yarrambat and not a bite...maybe the pressure/weather. Saw a Murray cray fish crawling on the rocks near in Goulburn river.
cmon robbie its summer get in there and get that fish lol
LOL I wouldn't even jump into that spot in summer. Hahaha
Bookmark watch later
you have to tighten you drag on you fishing rod
That mark on the last one look like cod bite robbie
Hey Jason quite possibly mate, there's some monsters in there.
Question why did you kill it and then kick it back in btw love ur vids
Hi mate because we are not allowed to release them alive given their noxious species status.
On the bank it will stink and encourage foxes, another pest, but ib the water it will feed the yabbies, shrimp crayfish, water rats etc...
Oh ok thanks also love the vids
Hey Robbie does jam juck fishing worms have a website to go onto to get there worms
Hey buddy they sure do. There is a link to them in my recent blackfish video description. I forgot to put one here. LOL
@@robbiefishing awesome cheers mate
@@robbiefishing they look perfect size smaller than scub worms so good size for trout Redfin and bass thanks mate and of course there good for carp lol
Hey Robbie new subscriber! Curious do you know any place close to Newcastle that has fresh water fishing
Hey buddy welcome to my channel. Sorry mate I don't know what area at all sorry.
Glad to help you out. Head towards Singleton and fish Lake St Clair for Bass. Head north to Bulahdelah and you will catch bass all along the river towards the Myall Lakes. Also fishing the water near Maitland in the Hunter will get you bass. If you want trout your looking at Barrington Tops I'd say. But you have Glenbawn not far away and Lake St Clair which are two prime fishing dams. Lots of bass country heading west from Newcastle
Glenbawn and Lake St Clair also have Silver Perch, Yellowbelly and Cod but are known big Bass dams.
@@avatarofpapermagic thanks mate really appreciate it and do you or anyone else know where I could find eeltail catfish by any chance also ?
@@robbiefishing no worries at all appreciate the response but
Robbie.... You know I love your films buddy but may I respectfully suggest that you find another method of inducing a permanent slumber for the carp, the "wangaratta waltz" wasn't a good look my friend. Could you fillet them and use them as a source of free dog food.? My dog goes nuts for fish.! Or could you use chunks of them in your crayfish/yabby nets.?
Hey mate thanks for the feedback. Believe me though mate, the way I kill carp is waaaaay better than the vast majority of people that just leave them on the bank to flap around and die a slow painful death. You're right, it's not a good look, but I bet the carp appreciates the sudden death rather than a prolonged and painful death. Most people just throw them on the bank to die slowly and then stink the bank up.
@@robbiefishing please don't think that I was having "a go" at you mate, and I apologise if that's how I came across. You're correct in what you say about your method being much quicker than the "fling them up the bank crew". Us trout fishers here in the UK use a tool called a "priest" to administer the last rights, basically a small heavy cosh, hard rap on the back of the head and the job is done. 👍
Random useless info for you.! Carp is the traditional Christmas dinner dish in Poland. My Polish buddy Michael got so excited a few years back when we found a fishmonger here in Edinburgh that had got some farmed ones in for especially for their Polish customers.
@@andrewwarburton3943 Hey buddy, definitely didn't take it as anything other than constructive feedback mate.
I usually leave that scene out buy wasnt able too on this occasion.
Carp get treated like crap here. I feel sorry for them in many ways. At the same time, I see the destruction they cause to many waterways.
I have seen all sorts of cruel acts inflicted on carp.
As for Poland.... I think I will stick to cranskys and let them have all the carp. Haba
All good buddy. I appreciate you watching and providing feedback. 👍👍👍
robbie just a head up it is illegal to kill carp then throw them back in the water
and if the carp has eggs they are also being released back into the water ways
Hey buddy, I am certain that is just a myth. LOL Absolutely nowhere in the Victorian rules does it say that. It says "Carp can not be returned to the water alive".
@@alexmurphy4178 Hey buddy, once the parent carp dies I doubt that the eggs would last very long.
What’s the best way to quickly kill the carp
Hey buddy I actually have a video about that coming out very soon, possibly even tomorrow night.
Alright cheers 🍻 keep the good vids coming
My mum caught a 80 cm perch in nsw in Murray river
80cm Perch.... WOW That is absolutely massive. Well done to you mum.
@@robbiefishing thank you robbie
Robbie with the amount of carp you catch do you think the government will ever accept they have lost the battle and accept that carp are here to stay?
One question why do you kill the fish and through it back in? Why not keep it?
Carp is bad eating so may aswell throw it back for the ecosystem
Also are pests so your actually supposed to kill them
Pure bread dog honestly rob their getting cornier and cornier
Goo saltwater fishing please
Too many bloody carp in the waterways
28 minutes! Mate I'm in hog heaven right now.
Haha thanks so much for the wonderful comment mate.
@@robbiefishing you're totally welcome mate. I know the feeling about having people from "carp countries" being upset at our national dislike of them. One guy who has a fairly large youtube channel that focuses heavily on them says he even doubts that they have any negative effect on waters that hold them. I suggested he looks at the studies conducted on the Murray-Darling system and how its biomass is now about 90% carp. On another note - I'm hoping we get some rain soon. We've had a very dry winter and my local spot yesterday was down to about 18 inches of water where it's normally around 3 feet deep. Good for killing tilapia but bad for the little natives in there with them.
@@TheCaptainbeefylog Thanks mate. haha It's amazing how so many people from overseas are experts on the Aussie eco-system. LOL I hope that you get some rain soon mate, that sounds quite dire.
I hope you do realize that one day you will hook a, I don't know, 10 or 15 kg hog and the rods you're using will simply not be up to it? :) Actually, I'm surprised your PB is what it is, as these can reach enormous sizes (10 kg is not that much). I wonder, if the sizes you get have do with the Australian conditions somehow... I would suspect they would be fine with the hot summer and mild winter, but carp specialists would know better..
Tight lines!
Well considering how infested our waterways are with carp that probably has alot to do with their sizes, although many waterways are getting better or cleaner thanks to more native fish being stocked and anglers catching and removing carp
Romper stomper
Robbie u shouldn't put the dead carp back in the river even if dead bro.... incase she is full of eggs..
Looks like that last carps scales fell off, Gross.
Hey Robbie how do you tell the difference between different fish bites
Hey mate, its something that comes with experience and time buddy.
