Sorry to tell you this Jim, but you need water to catch fish. LOL
As a long time 'user' of the Murray I can remember when the fish was good enough to eat; Catfish, Callop & Redfin, not to mention the yabbies as long as
beer bottles. How things have changed. Iin SA Catfish is now protected , Redfin is a noxious pest fish, and the yabbies are as scarce as hens teeth. The Callop stocks seem good but the fish tastes like shyte due to the muddied water.
We used to use grasshoppers or grubs tied to a hook for Cod, and shrimps for Catfish & Callop. I caught my 1st European Carp at Avoca Dell when I was about 6, using string, a safety pin & a bit of fritz.
