15.01.2022 2020 competition is SOLD OUT.

14.01.2022 The Murrabit Football Club regretfully and formally advise the Murrabit Cod Challenge 2020 for this coming weekend is now cancelled. In response to the revised Corona Virus recommendations released by the Australian Health Authorities this morning on 18-03-20 we have no option but to cancel this non-essential event. The revised advice is as follows:... We need to work together to help stop the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). To protect people most at risk and slow the rate of community transmission: Non-essential organised outdoor gatherings should be kept to fewer than 500 people Non-essential organised indoor gatherings should be kept to fewer than 100 people The Murrabit Football Club would like to ensure competitors this decision has not been taken lightly and it is with great regret we have had to make this difficult decision. We understand that this decision impacts our competitors and we have made this decision as early as possible to limit the negative effect on competitors travel plans. The clubs committee have been working tirelessly over the last four months to make this event possible and we can assure you these same people are the last ones that want to cancel the event. This decision has been made in response to the Australian Health Authorities advice to ensure the best health outcomes are achieved for our competitors, members, volunteers and the wider community. We will be giving all competitors a full refund and are working with our IT expert to ensure this happens over the next week. We feel this is the most suitable outcome for our competitors rather than postponing the event with such an uncertain future ahead of us. Unfortunately, the Murrabit Football Club has incurred cost to this point that can not be recuperated. If you like to become a member of the club for 2020 follow the link in the comments, your support would be greatly appreciated. We hope you understand how difficult a decision this has been to make and thank you for your support. We wish all our competitors and their families good health until we see you next.

06.01.2022 I’ve just had THE most amazing experience in over 40 years throwing lures for the mighty Murray cod. I had just pushed through some thick blackberries and slid... down a sandy mound to get to the rivers edge. I launched a short cast about 1/3 of the way across the pool to maximise the time my lure would be dredging the bottom around structure. To my right was a thick bed of strap weed that jutted right up to where the steep sandy beach fell into the water. We had seen a heap of big carp, in full spawning mode through the morning, and as I continue my retrieve, I polarioded what I thought was a huge dark coloured carp foraging in the weed. That was until she turned and I saw the white trimmings across its tail and dorsal fin - COD !! As a result I experienced that Immediate acceleration of my heart rate (any cod angler knows this feeling). Still on that first retrieve, I sped up my retrieve to a velocity not dissimilar to that required when chasing frigates or stripey’s from the stones. I was desperate to lob a lure towards the big green girl before she disappeared into the abyss. As my lure reached a deep channel between two oversized boulders, no more than five metres in front of me, my lure got slammed. Simultaneously, (and as I was looking to my right) the big cod in the weed had kicked up a huge cloud of black mud and was no where to be seen. Literally seconds after I hooked up I felt another almighty thud on my line and had a ridiculously heavy, almost dead weight on my line. I slowly lifted my rod to see the most unbelievable sight. The big cod in the weed had powered over and half devoured the fish on my line. The smaller cod (around 60cm) was still alive in the bigger fish’s mouth (check the video and you can see its tail and fins moving). As we attempt to lip the larger fish, she went nuts and shredded 8 to 10 metres of line in a flash. Some how she had coughed out the small cod (which we never saw again), and I landed what is undoubtedly the most amazing capture and experience of my fishing life !! #codeatcod #murraycod #magicmoment #goodoo #goodoogang #muzza #australiannativefishing #granitegorillaZ #codfishing #murraycodfishing #codfishingaustralia #landbased #fishnsw #fishingaustralia #nativefish #cod See more
