EP58: Twas the Drift before Christmas

🚨 RIVER DRIFTS, BLOWN TRAILERS & FISHING 🚨

Just before Christmas we squeezed in one of those river drifts… you know the ones that make you look over your shoulder thinking “surely this isn’t allowed.”

📊 44 fish in 6½ hours. Absolute mayhem. The highlight? Without question the most bizarre eat we’ve ever seen — a mid-70s cod climbing halfway out of the river to eat a lure off the bank. Still not convinced it was real, but it’s burned into our brains forever. Of course… Codtales rules apply: ⚡ Electric motor decided it had had enough 🛑 Trip ended early 🛞 Lost a wheel AND hub off the axle 🚤 Boat trailer log-slated its way 17km into Binda We also had: 🎣 A tough river session with Mick Hayden, still boating six fish for the morning when it was proper grindy 🎣 A trip with Daddy Marto, only one fish on a Lighthouse Diver, but it turned into an elite arvo — a few beers, soaking bait and talking absolute nonsense 🎣 A quick fish with Nick & Ivy — 10 cod for the morning, and Ivy landed a cracking cod all by herself (outfishing blokes twice her size as usual) Now we’re staring down the barrel of State of Origin Teams Fishing Australia in just five weeks 😳 Dam fish… what are you going to do? Meanwhile at Codtales HQ: 💡 New neon sign pumping 📱 TikTok lives rolling 🎤 Portable mic setup dialled ✈️ Locked in for Lake Monduran, QLD 🎣 Plan to catch up with the one and only Nate Archer
