As the temperatures begin to plummet in Victoria, Cod fishing numbers are beginning to rise at Eildon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
VRFish has been hearing some great stories about some of the extraordinary catches that some dedicated anglers have reeled in at Eildon over the last few weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josh Read has created a social media frenzy with an image of his recent catch, with over 85,000 ‘fisho’s’ amazed by the incredibly large Cod that was posted on the VRFish Facebook and Instagram pages. Josh and his partner Leish were at Eildon for a quick over night fish when they encountered the enormous fish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘It was moving quickly through some tree tops in around 10m of water.\u00a0It was tricky to get a lure in front of the fish as it was deep in some timber, but I managed to pick a gap as it emerged from one tree and headed for another. The fish immediately reacted to the Westin Shad Teez as it came past, tracked it a short distance and ambushed it from beneath. It was a short but powerful fight which only lasted 1-2 minutes, which is lucky as the fish threw the lure the moment it hit the net.’ <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josh reflected on his love of fishing at Eildon. ‘The facilities are amazing there. The weather is beautiful and it’s great to see so many people out enjoying the water. It\u2019s a very unique place with all the house boats around!\u00a0It is a great Cod fishery and I love heading up there in winter chasing big Cod.’ <\/p>\n\n\n
