Cod On Top
by Roger Miles
As a freshwater fishing junkie the biggest
adrenalin rush I get on the water is catching
a Murray cod on a surface lure. There’s
nothing like getting slammed only a few
metres from your rod tip, water splashing
as they engulf your offering. I’ve been
cod fishing for over 15 years and they still
manage to scare me every time they strike
up on top.
WEATHER
Weather, particularly wind, is a huge factor
in determining how productive a surface
luring session will be. Aim to be on the
water when the wind is minimal.
Your destination will have a big bearing
on how wind affects your session. If you’re
fishing a river system there is often protection
by way of a high bank or vegetation. However,
if you’re fishing an open body of water,
such as Lake Mulwala, protection from the
wind can be much harder to find.
The easiest way to avoid high winds is to
plan your surface luring trip in the middle
of a high pressure system when the isobars
are wide apart...
