Mike,
Don't ever leave the rod at home, it will guarantee you'll wish you'd taken
it five minutes after you arrive. If nothing else, you can have some good
sport on light tackle trying to get some of the European Carp onto the bank,
they then make great yabbie pot bait or should be simply killed and put back
in to feed the yabbies and shrimp.
BTW shrimp are great bait for the river.

I know next to nothing about fishing - and I'm camping on
the banks of the Murray east of Albury for a few days next
week. I understand Murray Cod are out of season at the
moment, is there anything else worth catching (to eat)
in that area or should I just leave the rod at home?

Thanks in advance
