- I certainly wasn't expecting such a red hot carp fishing bite when I set off fishing in the Ovens River last weekend.
We use to catch a lot of carp in the Ovens River years ago, but these days they are few and far between. To catch this many in one outing was certainly unexpected.
I am assuming that this particular spot must be a good spot for carp. For some reason they really like this area.
This was ab absolute carpfest!
Anyhow, with cod season being closed I was happy not to catch a large spawning cod and happy that I got to spend the afternoon listening to the drag on my reel scream as I reeled in some monster carp.

I went out carp fishing last night and caught 4 big ones the biggest at 73cm and the smallest at 68cm.well done Robbie
Hey Robbie just want to give you a tip, when carp start moving around just cover it’s eyes with your hand and they calm down
Hahahaha Robie, was watching this with my little daughter.... When u had the still pic of the carp with music she goes enough of the sad music 🎶 kill the thing..🤣🤣🤣
I've been looking forward to this video ever since you told me about it. I do that trick with a stabbed in stick at the waters edge as well! That was unreal carp action, I'm hanging out to fish some good carp water again now after watching that
Thanks mate. Haha It sure was an epic session.Imagine hiw long the video would be if I had of left the last carp fighting scene in. LOL
Hey Robbie!!!👈 I’ve got my new DEEPER now😁.. 🤦♂️But I must say it’s doesn’t feel natural to toss out a $400 Tennis Ball into the middle of a flowing river😳... Great Video mate!!!! 👍👍👍👍
Thanks mate. Haha I use 50lb braided line with mine and a line clip. Make sure you use a line clip mate so that the tow point doesn't cut through your line. 👍👍
LOL!
WHY do you think I DON'T lure fish?
Fantastic stuff mate !! Very entertaining. Well done 👍
Thanks so much mate.
Great afternoon out Robbie. Pity you didnt get the Yellow you were after, though a trout cod isnt a bad by-catch. I love seeing them. Thanks, Robbie, for opening up some splendid scenery and helping keep the doldrums away, while we wait to be released from these restrictions.
Thanks so much for your wonderful comment Damian.
Great video again Robbie. I love it when you hear people say that Carp don't fight hard... what a crock. Especially when they get closer to the bank!
Haha thanks Tim. Sure is a crock mate. Carp go like nothing else.... absolutely insane!!
Hi Tim, the people who say carp don't fight hard are the 'skull draggers' with the 6 foot boat rods and 30lb line. 😫
Fat carp family in that river. Must be a Maccas down there haha. Well done Robbie
hahaha I think so. Lots of Mcworms. Although it wouldn't be the same franchise owner that owns Wang Maccas or they would all be skinny because they only dish up half sized serves in Wang. Every time I go to the Maccas website and complain they give me vouchers for free food.... but I dont want that... I JUST WANT MY CHIPS FILLED UP!!!!! LOL
@@robbiefishing haha Haha. Get holly a job there when she's old enough that way she can give you a double serve lol.
Made daylight savings turn over day great. Thanks Robbie
Thank you so much Deb.
Very good day when you see Robbie uploaded a 27min vid, cheers 👍
haha Thanks so much Ross.
Cool Session Robbie. Congrats on the new record Carp. Cheers
Thanks so much mate.
Man I seen this thing on your channel before,
I am getting myself one of these,
Always good to know water depths 👍
You absoulute legend Robbie!!! What a great session. Great to watch your action packed videos! When ever I try to go out and make a video I dont catch anything hahaha. Keep it up mate
Thanks so much mate. Was it hot out your way today?
@@robbiefishing Yeah mate, regional NSW was scorching! Was it hot down at Wangaratta?
Awesome trip mate in a real nice place gotta be happy with that 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Cam. I sure was happy mate.
I think carp are the best fighting fish love carp fishing
Robbie what a great session on the mud marlins.👍. They keep you honest with the fight mate. That was a monster the big fella great size carp. You are The Mayor of Mud Town mate😁.lol
Haha thanks mate. The mayor of mud town. Haha I'm not sure if I could be responsible for keeping everyone safe in mud town. LOL
Great video great to see all those pests out of the waterway
Thanks so much mate.
You found the honey hole buddy. Wow you just beat my carp record mine is 74cm, awesome work mate keep it up 👍. It’s been awesome to fish again as well, I’ve been able to catch a few carp since the restrictions in the metro area eased.
Thanks mate. I am soooo glad that you guys are able to get out and wet a line again.
Great video Robbie 👍 love temple of the dog and pearl jam
Thanks mate. They sure were masters of their craft weren't they.
robbiefishing yep Eddie Vedder is one of a kind
Great video mate love them and love you
Thank you so much Perry.
Awesome video Robbie
Thanks heaps mate.
Looks like you had a cracking day on the carp 👍👍🍻🍻😃😃
Thanks mate, I sure did. It was awesome fun.
Love your channel, just sitting here catching some of your videos trying to not feel sick, I did get a covid test and it's negative. so now just fighting off what ever this is. Stay healthy my friend. Oh BTW you guys have catfish there?
Hehehe guess who's back! I've legit lost count of how many you caught hahaha. The water looks great I would swim in it and try to swim with some carp haha. Loved the long episode Robbie. 👌🐟
Hwy man so great to have you back. Sorry I missed this comment earlier My G. 🙌
Yeah, the local mafia use concrete shoes to send you to "sleep with the carp" up that way, Singh, instead of the sharks.
Next time Robbie uses the Deeper there he'll see me with concrete boots on surrounded by 30 carp hahaha.
Watching some of your older vids in lockdown mate 👍
Wondering if this is still your biggest carp...
Hey buddy, can't wait to get a deeper.
Hey Tom, I am sure you will love it mate.
Great upload as usually my fellow fishing buddy
Thank you so much mate.
G'day 23kc. How are you bro?
Great video mate
Thanks heaps mate.
Thank you bro
good job robbie
Thanks so much mate.
Have to try some aerogard on me reels. Good one robbo
Haha thanks heaps mate.
Wow Robbie what a work out a beer to finish the day would be in order
Thanks mate. Haha very much so. LOL
💛...perhaps, if you use a tether on your secondary rod, you could prevent its loss if bitten and you can concentrate on your first bite without worries...a lanyard anchored to the bank might work...just a suggestion...keep up the good work...a california fan...
Hi Harold, thanks for your fantastic suggestion mate. What a great idea.
Great content as always Robbie! 👍
Thanks so much mate.
Mammoth sesh on the carp mate, this video reminds me of another double hookup you had on your own last year haha
Thanks mate. haha That was in NSW, and was a crazy battle. LOL
The carp in aus are tiny. Bringing some carp tackle with me when I move over from uk next month. Gonna stalk some out
Bravo.
Hey Robbie, love your videos. Just wondering if you could say where this place is in the video? I’ve recently got the misus into fishing and we are just keen to catch anything. Would be appreciated. Cheers mate
Thanks mate, this is the lower Ovens River in North East Victoria.
Hey Robbie great video. I also want to ask if it is and if so how rare is it to see a platypus in the Murray river as me and my friend saw one the other day
Thanks mate. I am not sure about the Murray sorry. I dont nkt fish it as often as I should.
I see them occasionally along the Ovens River and the Broken River among other streams. Its always a great sight to see a platypus. Very uplifting.
robbiefishing thanks Robbie and it is really nice to see one
That spot looks like my spot on the Traralgon creek lol
Well done again Robbie. I bought a Deeper from your recommendation but haven’t been able to use it much yet.
I am looking at booking a few caravans soon at Painters Island in Wang on the Ovens and we have several kayaks. Is the Ovens ok for kayaks? Is the fishing ok there too or do we need to travel to better sites?
Cheers Phil
Hi Phil, sorry about the late reply mate. The Ovens River in Wangaratta is about as good as it gets for kayaking mate, and there is even a sand bar at the junction of the King River right in the middle of town that you can drive up to and launch easily.
For now, we just need to watch the weather and make sure that the river does not rise too much.
@@robbiefishing Thanks for that Robbie. We're going 23 Nov to 4 Dec at the end of the closed season. Hopefully the river will have settled down after this rain and warmed up. And I've just listened to you on Doc Lures so I can't lose now. Cheers Phil
This is a very long video for Robbie! 😂 keep up the great work!!
Hahaha Thanks heaps Alex. Are you one of the people that was asking for longer videos last week? Hahaha
Yeah I think so.
Any reason you don’t use bells mate ? When using 2 rods I prefer them just in case I’m watching the other rod at the time of a bite
Hi mate, I use them sometimes, but prefer to just watch my rod closely. I find with bells that if I hook a fish I have to listen to the bells for ages and they drive me mad. LOL Sometimes I will use them if I can not watch both rods at once.
Cool n bravo...saya suka sekali video nya
I'm trying to get the missus and kids organised to go chase some of these buggers. The nearest spots that hold carp are about an hours drive south of me. Hopefully we'll have evn half the luck you have.
Thanks mate. It sure is awesome fun.
Most of the nearby freshwater spots are over run with tilapia and I like hammering them but it's really warm enough at the moment to spend much time chasing them. They usually switch off from late April to mid October. Soon though......
Great video Robbie. Why do you fish with such lite line for big fish like carp?
G'day Dean, I was actually hoping to catch a yellowbelly. LOL I failed miserably at that. Haha
Haha there’s nothing wrong with that catching carp is still lots of fun
@@deanvarga3240 Absolutely mate, I love it.
Hi Robbie
Just wondering what’s best for catching yellow belly??.
Hope your well mate be nice to catch up and go for a cruise on our motorbikes.
Cheers Brett
Hi Brett, it all depends where you are fishing mate. I live worms on rivers and small yabbies in lakes. Live shrimp are the best just about everywhere. Amazing yellowbelly bait.
Nice battles.
Thanks Bob. They sure did go off.
@@robbiefishing Loving yr vids m8!
An absolute Carp A thon!
Haha you're not wrong mate.
@@robbiefishing i envy you with all of those beautiful little creeks and lakes you have nearby.
The fishing is good but the scenery is picturesque also.
Why do you always reel the line in when you miss a strike? I usually leave it there and the fish often comes back.
Sometimes I leave it there. Usually to check my bait, and because when I strike i have often moved the bait well away from where it was.
You should try fishing at Tarrawingee
I love it out there buddy.
would be awesome to come on a trout adventure with you robbie! your an absolute champion and im hooked on your videos!
Hey Robbie, do you chum when you target carp?
Hi mate, no not usually.
Is this the longer video from that carp fishing clip?
Yes mate it sure is.
robbiefishing I thought it was.
Hi Robbie, I've been watching your videos for a little while and was just wondering about the most effective way to kill a carp, I know you give them a big whack on the head but was just wondering if you had to do it a couple of times or if there's any tips you had? I caught my first ever one today at 55cm and I quickly found out it's much harder to kill them than it looks haha.
Hi Jack, I usually prefer to stomp on their head with my heal, depending what shoes I am wearing. It is a much harder force than a stick. If I use a stick I usually hit them very hard several times to ensure that they are completely dead.
Thanks for the advice Robbie, love your work
Hey Robbie I noticed late in the video that u actually wind your real backwards!!!! Give me and explanation I’d LOVE to know!!!!
Hi mate, this video explains it all buddy. Looks like other people ask the same question, look how many views it has had. Hahaha
czcams.com/video/4SYAf_-U0vg/video.html
You have caught so many fish, what works better for carp? Corn or worms? I really like the idea of corn more, since it's easy to go and buy it from the supermarket and it lasts a long time in the tins etc. I live not far from the cockburn river, apparently it once had some native fish, but it mostly just has carp these days now. I want to go there and use a floater and a hook with corn on it, like you did in another video. I want to help rid the river of some of the carp, and apparently if you fillet the carp and then deep fry that fillet, the deep frying process turns the bones edible like in a tin of canned fish. I probably should take two rods like you do, to increase my chances. I admit I enjoy fishing a lot, but I am not as well versed as you are, you seem to catch so many fish in each video, you really are excellent at catching fish, even if I could be just half as good as you are, I would be pleased.
Thank you so much for your kind words mate. I have been fishing for a very long time. I rate worms and corn about equal as carp bait I do find some days thay one will perform better than the other.
I prefer corn for similar reasons. Cheap, easy to store and lasts for ever. BUT.... with corn you minimise your chances of catching other species that may be in the area.
Awesome video mate, just other time please dont lift carp straight upwards when weighting. Its better to put bigger carp in a bag and then lift them. They need support on their spine, and sometimes if you lift heavy carp upwards on the lip their spine might brake because of heavy bottom weight.
They are pests we kill them so it doesn't really matter
Hi mate, thanks for the comment. Here in Australia it is illegal to release carp anyway. We are required by law to kill them as they are bad for our fragile ecosystem. 👍
Wooden jesus where are you from? Korea, Canada or maybe Taiwan. I didn't know this was the holy land. But I believed the minute the cheque left my hand. Thanks for the video Robbie.
LOL Thabks Adrian. I have never heard that one before.
@@robbiefishing From the one and only album that Temple of the Dog released.
i had fencing pliers rusted you could not move them soaked them in a container of methylated spirits a couple of hits with a hammer and some oil or wd40 they worked like brand new.... I had one old mechanic tell me they used to use milk to do the same thing
Milk? WOW who would have thought. I believe diesel is a very good lubricator.
@@robbiefishing i think the milk was more for rusted siezed engines he took the head off the engine and filled the bores up with milk and covered them again. I think it was the acids in the milk when the milk went off ate the rust away....
Face muscles made me smile to!
How do you humanely dispatch a carp?
Hay Adrian, I usually stomo on tjwirnhear with my heal, or whack them over the head with a sti k and then throw them back in the river to flow away and stink up areas that are away from people.
I'm not a fan of leaving them laying around. People dogs role in them, they stink up the area etc...
biggest carp I caught was 120cm long & just over 25kg lake Burrumbeet Ballarat
WOW That's insane. Well done..
Picture
You cant beat Mother nature
I was fishing for carp and caught two cod and a goldfish
WOW awesome work buddy.
robbiefishing thanks I am going fishing for silver perch tomorrow mate
@@samwesson1555 Awesome. Good luck buddy.
nice spot thats just down to ride from me
Awesome. I've been swimming amd fishing there for over 4o years.
@@robbiefishing cool that,s in peechelba right?
I always wonder why I can’t catch anything
Kate. What are you fishing for and where. maybe I can give some suggestions.
Should get ur self a shimano bait runner reel, ull never have to worry about loosing a rod in the water with a bait runner
Robbie, THAT 1st carp you got WOULD be a good 1 to cook up. Bright silver, and no red in its colour. Its meat should be pretty much all white! THOSE are the 'eating' carp! The more red in them means more goldfish, the less palatable!
Ah OK, thanks for letting me know that. I will give them a crack again one day. LOL
@@robbiefishing Yeah but ONLY take those 1s that are pretty much silver/grey all over, inc the fins!
@@Urbanfisho hey urban fisho
@@nathansoutbackfishing Hey dude!
@@Urbanfisho I love your channel mam
Bloody muddies!
If your fishing for yellobellys digging up your own worms are better than bought worms
robbie go fish lake nillahcootie the yellow belly are spawning
Hi Angus, thanks for the heads up mate. Theres a few nice ones being caught there at the moment.
Is that at the Murray river in nsw Australia?
Wow never in my life witnessed some one weigh a carp like you 😂😂😂 tell your not a carp fisher from the uk 😂😂
hahaha Over here in Australia carp are treated much differently than they are in the UK mate. Governments in all states that carp are found in have declared them a noxious species and it is illegal to return them to the water alive.
I go fishing in Cohuna, have you ever heard of that place?
Hey buddy I sure have. I've never fished there but always wanted to.
robbie go fish lake nillahcootie yhe yellow belly are spawning
Looks like you like your carp😭
Hi mate it is the Ovens River.
no flies on you, or your pliers
hahahaha
can i get pinned pls that a big carp my biggest 51 frigen hell man i hope your fishing genration continues
Thanks so much mate.
Nice fish (plural). People can say what they like about carp, but they sure give a good fight. So what do you call a bottle that eats pliers, hammers and screwdrivers? A tool eater bottle .......
Haha I had to think about that for a moment. LOL
Good fight? That's (abbreviation) what I reckon. 👍👍
Please don’t kill carp!
Sorry mate, but I have to. It's the law here in Australia.
@@robbiefishing no it aint
Love ya vids mate but probably stop the singing
Hahaha thats the best part I reckon. LOL
