Meet Sharna and her first ever fish on a lure. This 36cm Murray cod grabbed a purple spinnerbait and was released after a few snaps. Best of all, this is Sharna’s backyard!

Enjoy the weekend everyone, get outside and enjoy all the wonderful fishing spots Victoria has to offer.

Have you ever caught a Murray cod that's deeply hooked? 😧 Never fear!
If the hook can't be removed, it's best to cut the line as close to the hook as you can. Then release the cod quickly!
Over time the hook will rust out or the fish will pass it, as one Officer observed here

HUGE day and we taught all these kids that caught a fish how to rig up their rods!! So proud and love seeing those happy faces 🤙🤙🏼🤙🏽

Having a great time at Eildon demonstrating how to do a Running Sinker Rig. Thanks for the technical assistance @VicFisheries you "hooked" us up!

It's almost time to give our iconic Murray cod a rest on the nest. From 1 September to 30 November, it is Murray cod closed season. This allows cod to successfully spawn and ensure great cod fishing for future generations. #careforcod #murraycod #vrfish

Why are supermarket prawns not suitable for bait?
Supermarket prawns can be sourced from other countries and in turn introduce exotic diseases, whereas bait prawns, in comparison, can only be sourced from Australian waters keeping our biosecurity in check. https://t.co/7K0xY7jA6T
