Gundagai Anglers Trip to Burrinjuck Dam 4/5th December 2009
21 Gundagai anglers ventured to Burrinjuck Dam for the last club fishing trip for 2009 which coinsided with the cod season opening. Up to Saturday morning there were a few anglers in the running for prizes but their hopes were dashed early Saturday morning when 16 year old Jordan Fields who was deckie for Alan Anderson landed two fantastic cod within 30 mins. First up, he hooked and landed a 100cm cod hotly followed by a 80cm cod. Pictures were taken of these lovely fish and a very happy Jordan (see below) before he let them swim away. I reakon he is still shaking! Jordan caught his fish trolling a spinnerbait and there were reports that he was offered a lot of money for it.
There were four other cod landed over the weekend. Wayne Carthew had a great time, landing three cod on his new rod. His old rod is still somewhere at the bottom of Burrinjuck Dam. The fish were 70cm, 50cm and 45cm. Wayne caught his cod trolling hard bodied lures. A very happy Les Jones landed a nice 87cm cod (bottom pictures) Sunday morning also trolling a spinnerbait.
