One bait, one spot KISS theory!! Murray Cod

  • čas přidán 7. 08. 2020
  • After my last video of overthinking cod fishing i decided i would keep it simple stupid this trip and just fish for Murray cod with one lure. The lure of choice was the 10" Megabass Magdraft and i was only targeting specific structure.
    I was in Burrunjuck dam NSW and mainly just fished rock walls with a slow roll retrieve for Murray cod that i figured were suspending along the rock face down around 12-15 feet.

      PS: Like you, I wish the bloody solunar stuff wasn't significant, but in non-tidal waters especially, I'm starting to think it is, at least sometimes... particularly the moon-rise, moon-set thing... looks like that's when the cod fired up for you, too.

    Hey mate. Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this video. I really like the simple approach you took. I often find myself switching up lures and moving from spot to spot at Burrinjuck. And always leaving that place feeling like I could of done more!
    Just proves that persistence and patience pays off

    Great job once again mate! Really enjoy the series. Althought not "overthinking" it looks like fishing a pattern to me...🤣😉
    Also, just to mess up with the moon theory, 2 to 4 PM is likely to be that window when the water temp is the least cold (cause one can't say the warmest, I'd bet🥶🥶), during the day, right?
    Oh, and did you mark those fish on the graph and the target them?
    Thanks!

    • @DeanSilvester
      @DeanSilvester  Před 3 lety +1

      Glad you enjoy it! haha yes maybe don't know haha! When i chase bass at this time of year in southern dams i also hit the same style bluff faces and yes its because it's warmer from about 1pm through maybe 4pm. However saying that wait till part two... it messes it up a little haha.
      No i didn’t try to look for fish first i was just blind casting in front of me on the bluff walls, i did however see quite a few under the boat as i mooched along the walls. not a lot but enough to know they were there.

    Hey Dean,
    Love the boat upgrade, doing a similar project myself. Just wondering how thew EVA went over rivets? Do bumps show/feel? Any issues with adhesive failing? Was thinking id need a completely flush surface (e.g countersunk rivets/screws). How's the EVA holding up with regard to staining or getting damaged from hooks etc?
    Also, before you put EVA down how was the smooth Al sheet for slipping, heat and hull noise? cheers, keep the vids coming

    • @DeanSilvester
      @DeanSilvester  Před 3 lety

      There is no noise from the aluminium as I also glued it first to make sure no rattles or noises when you move around boat. The sheet isn’t slippery but was incredibly hot. As in couldn’t even touch it haha. Yes the Eva tread is fine going over the rivets, you can see tiny rises in it but I have the thick Eva tread so that would help disguise it a little. I have caught hundreds of fish in it now and have some small stains but I haven’t tried to clean it in a few weeks either. I also have a few small cuts and stab marks from lures in fish and gill rakers etc

      sorry mate missed this, i don't really have a favourite as depends on time of day for what makes it easier to see in the water. But in saying that the Edge in rose lens which has a green mirror looks the best for photos and helps with contrast in the water when fishing plus the edge frame is just so comfy.

    Very interesting rigging on the magdraft I noticed that centre belly weight and the braid rigged top treble. How does this set up go in snaggy territory and do u actually fish it around timber or rock?

    • @DeanSilvester
      @DeanSilvester  Před 3 lety +2

      Belly weight is to help get it deeper, I now rig it a lot different to this. This was my first time ever using one. It was really good at getting through snags strangely enough. You retrieve it really slow so when you get it on a snag you can just walk it through it
