Sluggish Winter Murray Cod

I headed out onto a s bit of small, shallow and clear river for a solo session walking the river bank and wading through the river itself. The fish were overall quiet but persistence and putting the lure in the correct place seen 16 small Murray Cod to 61cm landed.

The fish that were tempted however, were extremely aggressive in striking with ever hit turned into a hook up and only one fish dropped for the entire session.

Following is a collage of the fish caught as well as two videos, one of a small Cod I found hiding beneath a rock and the other of me catching a few of the little Cod.
