Check out this 72cm Murray Cod! Caught on a Hohnke Hooks 6/0 Deceiver in Purple over black! This is what gives me the inspiration to tie!

Testing the "Top Dawg" pattern
So I have been busy making up a prototype surface fly for Murray cod.... And this is what you can expect to see when you tie one one.... Heart attack fishing at its best

I have been busy making a top water fly for chasing Murray Cod. I worked out a prototype and took it to the river for testing. I think this video shows it will work....

Introducing the "HonkDawg" pattern.
As of recent months I have set out to start a new line of flies designed for catching Murray Cod.
There will be range of premium flies under the Cod Dawg range as I develop them. The first one in the series is the HonkDawg! It's a kick ass tandem fly in excess of 180mm long with a 5/0 up front and 3/0 in the tail. It has 12.7mm Lava Clear Cure Eyes, Clear cure Expando Tube immediately behind the eyes to keep bulk in the Body and create irresistible movement as well as featuring the stunningly good looks of Misfit Hot Hackles!
I had my first Murray Cod on this pattern within 15mins of tying it on! And he absolutely inhaled it!
I can guarantee it will work on most predatory fish and not just cod though... Musky and pike immediately come to mind.

I recently came up with a new pattern designed to target the Murray Cod that inhabit my home waters.. i tied a few up and took them for a run on the river.. The Results were impressive as this Young Murray cod launched himself at the fly as i drew it out from the structure.

'Twas The Night Before Bassmass
Well it's almost here, it's the night before my weekend adventure on the bass. The car is packed and fueled up, the boat is ready. Throw in some food tomorrow and by the time it's 3pm we will exit the Country Music Capital of Australia stage right and head off across the Divide to Lake Glenbawn "Home Of The Mega Bass".
I havn't done any bass fishing for almost 4 years now, so I currently feel like a small child the night before Christmas, especially considering this will be the first time I chase them on fly!
While packing some gear I found a photo of the 2nd ever bass I caught off the surface! They are a brutal striker and fight to the end.
All this aside I should try and sleep as I still have to work early tomorrow... Actually this morning.
Enjoy
