25.01.2022 March Trip Eden 19th-24th Location: Eden Beachfront Caravan Park 23 Adults and 2 children attended our annual saltwater trip with good weather forecasted for the trip the anticipation for some good fishing made everyone excited for what's to come. Every day was a good day with only one day when the wind got a bit too strong to fish offshore past 2pm. Members mainly travelled south due to the dominant wind coming from the south. The furthest south member’s went was saltwater c...reek some 13 km south of the Ben Boyd tower. Targeted fish species were Flathead, Snapper, Morwong, Trevally, Tailor, Leather jackets, Red Rock Cod, Wrasse, Ling. Other caught species but not presented was Banjo Sharks, Shovelnose Sharks, Port Jackson Sharks, Eels, Wirra boot fish.

24.01.2022 Sad outcome as a result from the fires in the upper Murray this is only a taste of the scale of the fish kill to hit the rivers and stream that feed Lake Hume on both sides of the border

22.01.2022 A sad sight on the river at home (Upper Thologolong). With the recent rain it has washed ash from the upper Murray bush fires into the Murray River. Lots of de...ad MURRAY COD, YELLOW BELLY, RED FINN and Carp. Poor fish, it's horrible to see. All the fish in these photos are dead. We have seen live Murray crays, they seem to be ok. See more

19.01.2022 Final night presentation and theme night saw a variety of costumes everyone did a great job preparing for the theme night it was a lot of fun

19.01.2022 Good opportunity here schedule yourself in at a time that suits

16.01.2022 Fishing Column G’day fisho’s!! I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if you haven’t heard as yet, there are reportedly big numbers of dead fish throughout the... Upper Murray and its tributaries. Sadly we have a fish kill on our hands and I would imagine there’ll be many other river systems going through the same thing since the rain has fallen recently across a huge portion of our fire affected country. Murray crays and yabbies have been seen walking out of the water, which is what they do when they’re struggling for enough oxygen to survive. The reports and photo’s I’ve seen are anywhere from around Thologolong through to the Jingellic area but it’s very early days and it wouldn’t be a surprise to anyone if the damage goes much further upstream as well, particularly considering the fire damage done to the Cudgewa, Nariel and Biggara valleys. I know the Nariel and Cudgewa have both had fish kills too. Massive amounts of ash have been washed into most waterways in fire affected areas with recent rain events. Ash basically draws all the dissolved oxygen from the water making it impossible for fish, crustations and many other insects and animals to survive. It’s devastating news for so many fisho’s, but particularly those that have been working for many years, raising funds and releasing fish that had grown to a point that made this area an absolute mecca for cod fisho’s. This was also one of the first areas where endangered Trout Cod were released and re-introduced to water they dominated in the very early days. Those releases were extremely successful and some of the biggest Trout Cod caught in recent history had been caught in the Upper Murray. Sadly it was fires in the early 50’s I believe, that brought about these same results we’re seeing today and were attributed to being responsible for the eventual demise of Trout Cod in the area. One things for sure, we’re in a much better position today than we were in the 50’s as far as fish breeding is concerned and I note that there’s already fundraising pages up and running to try to get things back to normal ASAP. Fisheries are still investigating the extent of the damage and will no doubt be putting out a statement in the near future, keeping in mind both NSW and Vic fisheries Departments have fish kills right across both states to deal with as well. You’ve only got to consider the areas burnt in the headwaters of all those streams along the coastline in NSW alone and the amount of bass that have been killed to realise the workload these people are and will be under for a fair while to come. In our area we should have grave fears for a number of river systems including the including the Ovens, Kiewa, King, Buffalo to name a few and all their tributaries as well. In the meantime it’ll be time for cool heads and measured planning. We will get through this and my hope is we can get a co-ordinated effort between fisheries of both states and all other interested parties, particularly those previously involved stocking these areas, and set a plan (I was going to say as we move forward but I hate that term!) It is early days and hopefully things aren’t as bad as first appearances would indicate so let’s just keep our fingers crossed. The big fear now is that more rainfall in slightly different locations might end up giving us a similar result again. Let’s hope not!! We’ll certainly try to give more detail in next week’s column as more solid info comes in. Despite some roads opening up there’s still road closures in different places heading up to the Upper Murray but Jingellic and Walwa are accessible via Holbrook and I believe Corryong is also accessible via Tallangatta/Shelly if you wanted to pay them a visit over this Australia Day weekend for an overnighter or a day trip. I’ve spoken to a couple of businesses up there and they would be happy to see you I’m sure! At A Glance Dartmouth (49.9) --- is certainly accessible but reports have been pretty thin on the ground. The only firsthand report I have was from a mate who trolled gudgeons and actually caught a couple of big ones, unfortunately they were both carp! I’m sure if you snuck up with a downrigger and fished at a bit of depth you’d have some success though. There were still a few yabbies about so that would make a trip up worthwhile anyway! Streams --- are a bit of an unknown quantity at the moment. Recent rain events were reasonably widespread but at time of writing we haven’t heard much about which ones have been affected badly and which ones haven’t. Those systems that hadn’t been affected by fire will certainly have appreciated the freshen-up that’s for sure! The Mitta is running high but clear and would be worth a look. Lake Hume (20.3) --- has been pretty reasonable of late with some decent feeds of reddies being caught. Yabbs and worms are as good as any and don’t be scared to fish shallow as we’ve heard of fish coming in from as little as 3 meters. They’re still trolling the odd reddie, yella and cod too and it’s a great way to find a school of reddies if you’re not into tree hopping. There’s plenty of fish getting caught in the open so keep an eye out for any bird activity! The Murray --- below Albury has been great for cod fishos, particularly those angling a bait or two. There’s a lot of little blokes amongst them but there’s also a few keepers and the odd yella around too. Blowring (38.8) --- has just been re-opened to the public as well but the fishing has been pretty tough up there. Hope you all have a great Australia day weekend!!

10.01.2022 Kicks off tomorrow 10.30 am come along have some fun

10.01.2022 Our end of year Christmas party was held at the Albury Commercial Cub. 43 members enjoyed a roast dinner and a few coldies .Safe travelling over the Christmas period everyone see you all again in the new year.

10.01.2022 November trip report Location : Lake Nillahcootie 26 members ventured down the road the lake always dirty and sitting at 40 percent our target species Golden Perch. Most members managed to get a keeper or two most fish were about 25cm undersize for golden perch. Most boates set out on the far bank trolling along a 20-35 ft mark, best method proved to be using lead line and running about 2.2-2.5kmph some bycatch Murray cod was caught the best being a 87 cm .Brendan had his han...ds full with this catch pretty good effort i say on a 10lb leader well done to both the angler and luremaker #Australiancrafted Lures. Small hard bodies in Mcgraths and Stumpjumpers worked well also in a mix of colours pinks green yellows purples blacks Management of the park catered for our saturday evening meal which was well received. I dare say it will be repeated next year it was a great weekend with great company cheers Adrian See more
