Ep40: Current Affairs

In this episode of Cod tales, we take a deep dive into the ongoing war against invasive carp. With virus trials soon to be underway (2026) in a controlled environment, we debate whether this is the right solution and ask the big question—would you eat carp if it helped the environment?

Then, we recap an action-packed river drift: 38km over two days, 40 fish caught (biggest at 83cm), and plenty of mayhem. From botched casts and lost fish to bait fishing drinking rules and unexpected injuries—Aaron rolled his ankle before even reaching the ute, Nick got stitched up in the sticks, and Dane went ass over tit out of the boat.

We talk about AZ’s upcoming trip to Lake Macquarie for a big fish bonanza. Get ready for another classic Codtales episode full of laughs, lessons, and fishing tales!
