Hiya rob Just goes to show how easily you can have a mishap , mate you were up to your neck in water and this morning I'm smashing ice off the pond lol... Well done mate loved the adventure. Hope everyone is well 😎🏴🎣
Oh my God, luckily you are fine mate! And you saved your gear 👍🏼✅. Nice day for a swim with those disgusting leeches, yuk. Great video as usual Robbie.
I’m with you Robbie, leeches are absolutely disgusting! I had a pet coral snake when I was 4 years old and love snakes. I got attacked by a killer leech in Thailand in 1983 and they freak me out big time!
11 days until I throw my kayak on top of the Jeep and make the 1400 mile drive to Everglades City Florida for a week of fishing which is the start of my fishing season and my biggest fishing trip of the year, so excited! Love your videos when you're out on your kayak even when the fishing is slow, such a beautiful lake.
Good to see you laughing about it Robbie but rolling over a kayak can be a bloody serious thing. A mate of mine rolled his PA12 in Port Phillip Bay last year when I was handing a 6lg Snapper over to him, he lost $3k in rods and reels and cooked his electric motor but managed to get most of his gear back. However if it wasn't for me being able to roll his kayak back over for him and a boat dragging it back in to shore then he would have lost everything and been in a very dangerous situation. Stay safe out there mate 👍
I feel you paranoia with the leech.. same with me with frogs. And mate, have a look into a pair of the light weight outdoor pants. I’ve got a couple of pairs and they are awesome. UV resistant and one of the pair has the option of unzipping the legs and they become shorts. Much better than tracky daks. Great video legend… had a good giggle 😊
Good lesson learnt there Robbie, and for those watching, a camera or any other piece of equipmant is not worth putting yourself in danger for. I'm not a good swimmer, I'm aware of my short coming;, but many of us fool ourselves by over inflating our abilities. Imagine what could have happened had that person not been wearing a belt life jacket, and as you say; had it have been winter. Not worth considering. Fortunately you were well prepared, but even by the video, it is evident that it kind of put the wind up you a little.
Thanks mate. Excellent advice not to inflate your ability and recognise your shortfalls. I am a very strong swimmer thankfully. I had my life jacket on but chose not to pull the chord and I didn't feel the need. It was just a glorified swim in the lake. LOL 😂 Had I felt in danger I would have pulled that chord.
Had the exact same thing happen to me trying to unsnag a fish from a log leaned back to far and flipped it and lost the fish those are some lovely redfin and a nice cod i just caught my first bass last week which im stoked and a esturary perch which is awesome to keep up the great work robbie.
Well done mate. First bass is a special moment. AND an EP. Good fishing. I love the Aussie bass and topwater fishing for them is something special when the cicadas are singing so loudly you can't hear yourself think.
They like an inline spinner or spinner bait type lure, jig spins in gold work well with a small to mid sized paddle or curltail attached. @@nedthefisho16 Chatterbaits also work well. Slow roll with plenty of subtle rod movement. Any of the hardbody minnow type or smaller diving plugs work well in clearer water, or switch out trebles for single inline hooks, as bass love their weed beds and timber and that does not play well with trebles. Topwater lures are where they really get fun. The old Arbogast Jitterbug and Heddon Torpedo were my introductions, now there are many options available. Go for a small to medium body, the Taylor Made basscada is a favourite of mine. For medium cod and redfin and yellowbelly also. Soft frogs, mice, rats and other topwater soft lures, along with unweighted floating prawns and paddle tails are dynamite. There are many options, and many places to explore those options. Make the most of those opportunities and you will open up a whole new hobby within a hobby.
I was kayak fishing at Lake Buffalo yesterday! Beautiful place, caught two small redfin the same size as your first one. No leeches or swimming for me however haha. Thanks for your all your vids, always an enjoyable watch.
Lucky you did not loose anything when you fell off your kayak. I notice you don’t use any paddle or rod leashes would you consider using them now after that close call? I used to use them all the time but that was in dirty water or larger impoundments/ocean where there would be no hope seeing anything sink under water
Thanks mate. I have some at home. Tubby Tubstra made them for me. He's a ripping fella. I really should use them. I have used them is suspect conditions when the risk is higher.
I’ve been getting into kayak fishing from watching your videos I’ve got a similar setup from yours and I have my esky with the lid facing towards the front for easy reach for any reddies or yellas I catch
Thanks mate, that is a great idea. I will certainly be working out a new system. The old system has failed. I am NEVER leaving a dead fish on my kayak floor ever again. LOL
@@robbiefishing normally if I keep a fish break it neck and straight on I’ve till I get back to the car and clean it there or released to get bigger 👍🏻
G'day Robbie!.. Just did a quick search and you can get a floating case for your camera mate.. the same thing happened to me while in the kayak though I lost my gopro and stayed dry😁 my new camera always wears its case while in the kayak now!
Hey robbie❤. I know this isn't a cod video but I always wonder because where I fish in the Murray near Cobram we catch lots of little trout cod normally more than straight Murray cod however I see you so surprised to catch trout cod when that's nearly all I catch
Be grateful for small blessings, mate. Around here (The ACT) trout cod are totally protected and endangered. A whole section of the Murrumbidgee south of Canberra is closed entirely to fishing to protect a breeding population. Muzzas on the other hand are in all our local waterways, some really huge fish. One caught out of Lake Burley Griffin a couple of years ago was estimated at 75+ kilos. I catch them regularly. I got a 20 and a 40 cm last week fishing a local lake, under a bridge, in the shadow of Government buildings looking at Maccas, KFC and Hungry Jacks and the local college and library, lol. And a few nice yebblies, a carp and reddies alongside the greenies. Canberra, best Urban Fishing in the world, IMHO. Got a nice 70 cm carp yesterday in LBG :)
Hi mate, I get excited to catch any fish. LOL 🤣 Trout cod have only returned back into my waterways in the last 25 years. They were extinct for decades. They've never gone extinct from your area. Now there is evidence that they are spawning and recruiting naturally in my area again, plenty of reason to be excited. 👍
hi robbie loving the content and some of your vids have taught me so much ive only been fishing for about 10 months and have already caught some really nice fosh and am hoping for my first murray code soon
😂😂Great vid Robbie, when I was a kid (60 odd years ago) if we got a bad bruise on our body we would put a leach on it and it would clean up the congealed blood clot 👍🏽😁
I was laughing when you said "I have found everything except my hat..." It was like one of those old puppet shows with me sitting here pointing and shouting "Behind YOU!"@fishing🤣🤣
Pleased you got your camera back mate. LOL Sounds like a bit of a kerfuffle. I have done much the same off the shore to catch a pair of sunglasses. Bent over and they fell straight into the water. I went to grab them and followed. Drowned my bosses mobile phone which was in my pocket as I was on call that weekend. Oooops. At least you were safe and sound and did not lose the lot! That could have been bad.
Attack of the killer leeches! Are you sure it wasn't that huge *Red pointer leech* that came up from the depths below that tipped you out? Because it came back to get you just as you got to shore, and again via that fish. I think it's got it in for you 🪱 Happy dreams. 🤣🤣🤣
Robbie just as well its a sit on kayak its very difficult to get back in a sit in kayak . Years ago i had a fancy sit in kayak and ended up in the drink port Phillip bay , trying to get in you have the bloody waves keep rolling the kayak over . Just as well i carried an inflatable paddle float that goes over one end of the paddle , use it like an outrigger to get back in . ANY KAYAKER OR CANOEST A GOOD IDEA TO PRACTICE CAPSIZE THEN RE-ENTRY >>> IT COULD ONE DAY SAVE YOUR LIFE !
Excellent advice mate. I have done this a lot, and encouraged it myself. I attribute this to the reason the entire boat didn't too. I knew when to let go. I owned enclosed hull kayaks for years. There's no way I could ever climb in one, not a hope in hell.
Haha nothing scripted here mate, just one of those days. I had a life jacket on but chose not to pull the chord as I did not feel as though I was in danger at any point. Had I been in trouble I would have pulled it. It is compulsory to wear them, but not compulsory to pull the chord.
Yeah Optus and vodaphone are terrible service 10 minutes out off town and I drop out off service but atleast no one annoys me while I’m out fishing trying to ring
Attack of the killer leaches 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. I know i shouldn't laugh. But it was very entertaining sorry to say but it was. I've lost a mobile phone into the depths of the lake hired a professional diver but he couldn't find it. I don't make the same mistake twice. Now when I'm out in the lake i have my mobile tied onto the boat. Maybe tie a bit of fishing gut to your camera and to the kayak or to yourself. A little snap swivel at each end of the gut will do the trick. Mind yourself out there Robbie take care of yourself. Two fellows in a bar one says to the other "Robbie Alexander the RUclips sensation is after dieing mate". Second fella says "what did he did from a snake bite poision from a spider bite"? First fellow says "No mate i believe he seen a small little leach on the end of his big toe and got a heart attack and when they found him it was only a small earthworm he used thousands of jam jack worms in his time and one very small worm i think it was a jam jack worm that done him in mate. 😮
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 THAT is a story worth reading about. Sad passing, but a viable option. "Here lies Robbie Fishing Died of shock. He used the worm. The worm killed him The worm eats him The worm's revenge. May he rest forever in peace. "
Hahahaha that's so funny, and true. LOL I had been fly fishing that morning and had a ripper time. All of the footage was on that camera. Losing that footage was a huge concern. Not as huge as leeches though, or anything that looks like them. LOL 🤣 🤣🤣
I lost about $2k of stuff when I rolled mine . Gopro 10 , Samsung 22 with all my licenses in it , 2 fishing rod outfits and my car keys . Your very lucky Rob.
Omg Robbie mate. That wasn’t funny. But it actually was. Bloody Pepsi. Wouldn’t have dropped it if it was a Melbourne stubby. Haaa . Be careful old mate. 😅
Try getting a leach stuck too your eye ball!😅 two years ago I was walking out from a river too the main road after trout fishing. Ended up getting a leach on my eye ball 😅 it was trying to get behind my eye lids! Had no fingers basically behind my eye trying to pick it out which wasn't working. So retorted to using my phones reverse camera and needle nose pliers to grab on to it. After a slow pull my eye ball was coming out along with the leach but after a second of telling my self don't be a pussy. I yanked it off 😅 I had got the leach off my eye while I was still In the thick bush but ended up having too take 3 different types of eye drops for the damage I gave myself trying to get it out 😂
What is it with Robbie's viewers, leeches and eyeballs. I swear, I never had a problem with leeches themselves, but these stories make me want to 🤮🤢😂 Hope your eye healed alright!
Here's a robbie moment! You need to invent a inflatable camera saver. One that goes off when it's submerged or even better one for fishing rods. Call me further great business ideas mate! Tight lines
I honestly can't remember why or how I tipped my Kayak yesterday but I learned 2 valuable lessons...I have pontoons so I don't tip the kayak (doesn't work),I was wearing one of those round the neck automatic inflating pfds and it trapped me with the inflated pfd blown up on one side of the pontoon arm and my head just above water on the other side,luckily someone was nearby and could flip my upturned kayak off the pfd....fun and games while fishing.
WOW Darren I'm glad you are OK mate. I could never own a self inflating life jacket. I want to be in control of when it blows up. I'm a.strong swimmer and I back myself, but want to know that I can pull the cord if I need to.
@@robbiefishing yeah...I've got 2 other normal pfds that I'll be using from now on....on the plus side I did catch a very nice sizable golden perch yesterday before I tipped.
Hey Robbie, I wear skins when I'm fishing with shorts over the top. Makes a massive difference And they're stretchy too. Kmart bro, they're cheap as. Give em a crack
Quite possibly Peter. I think this was a one off though, it's never happened before. If it happens again I will be looking for ways to prevent it. Haha
They're been stocked in there but rarely ever get caught. I reckon most of them have gone over the wall to be honest. The cod have been much more successful.
Come on Robbie your not fulling us, it was the Lake Buffalo mermaid, that made you jump out of the kayak.😂 Next time attach a small floating device to your camera.

Robbie will go and rub a red belly black snake on it's head, but a leech freaks him out! Too funny!
Haha do true. I can't stand the disgusting things. LOL
Channelling Robbie "G'day folks, this afternoon I'm going fishing for more leeches by having a swim with them!"
Hahaha that's about right. LOL
Yah don't want to fall out of the canoe, Robbie. The giant Buffalo leeches will suck you up like a vacuum cleaner! 🙃😉😆
Hahahahaha 😂😂😂😂
I love your videos mate. You crack me up, happy to approach Brown snakes, but squeal like a girl when you see a leech hahaha
Haha thanks mate. Leeches are the creepiest things on the planet. LOL
Don't fall out Robbie and bugger ya hat
Get out of the water
We don't wanna lose a legend like you
Keep safe buddy
Thank you so much for your kind words mate. 🙏
Hiya rob
Just goes to show how easily you can have a mishap , mate you were up to your neck in water and this morning I'm smashing ice off the pond lol...
Well done mate loved the adventure.
Hope everyone is well
😎🏴🎣
Thanks so much Mike. Nothing could feel further away than a frozen pond right now. LOL
We are going for 39 Celcius here tomorrow.
Well done Robbie, glad you didn't lose any gear. Top spot there.
Thanks mate. I was very lucky not to lose anything.
Oh my God, luckily you are fine mate! And you saved your gear 👍🏼✅. Nice day for a swim with those disgusting leeches, yuk.
Great video as usual Robbie.
Thanks Wayne. Aren't they filthy things. Haha 😂😂
Wow you had it all mate some nice red fin to falling out of the yak to a leech problem to a cod mate that’s an eventful day on the water cheers
Thanks mate. Haha It sure was eventful. LOL 🤣
I’m with you Robbie, leeches are absolutely disgusting! I had a pet coral snake when I was 4 years old and love snakes. I got attacked by a killer leech in Thailand in 1983 and they freak me out big time!
Haha me too, disgusting things they are. LOL
Well done mate, that lovely cod was a nice surprise after a few mishaps! You called it well with that larger lure. I miss my kayak adventures!!
Thanks mate. This certainly was an adventure. LOL 😂
Thanks for sharing Mate. Its great to see your example of having a life jacket with you.
Take care Mate !!
Watch out for those Leeches !
I used to have a Pet Leech.
It was attached to me !
Thanks so much Robert. I always wear my life jacket. You just never know when disaster might strike. LOL
Glad you're safe Robbie and that leach didn't get ya💪
Thanks
Thank you so much. 🙏
Stay safe mate please… we love watching you catch fish and we don’t want you to sleep with them🤟🤟🤟🤟
Thank you so much mate. 🙏
11 days until I throw my kayak on top of the Jeep and make the 1400 mile drive to Everglades City Florida for a week of fishing which is the start of my fishing season and my biggest fishing trip of the year, so excited! Love your videos when you're out on your kayak even when the fishing is slow, such a beautiful lake.
Thank you so much mate. That sounds super exciting,.I hope you have the time of your life.on your trip mate. 👍👍
Geezus mate, action packed! Might have to get some leech repellant!
Thanks buddy. Haha Some Leech Repellent Bat Spray. 😂😂
You don't need a fridge bag Robbie, you need a bag of cement to harden up when it comes to leachers! 🤪🤣😂
Hahaha I can't argue with that. LOL 🤣🤣

Thanks so much mate, I must look into one of them.
That was a good little session and an eventful day Robbie, good stuff 👍 im gunna have to pick up a few old mate lures and try them out
Thanks mate. The small ones are the ones you want for this type of fishing. The larger ones are great for cod. 👍👍
@robbiefishing sounds good thankyou

So glad you're ok Robbie n that nasty leech didnt get you.Hope you enjoyed your feed.
Haha thanks Sheena. I don't use the word hate very often, but when I do it's usually when I'm talking about leeches. LOL 🤣
Good one mate luckily didn’t lose anything when you went for your unexpected swim much better than saying falling out hahahaha 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Haha thanks Cam. I dodged a bullet this time mate. 👍
Stay safe out there Robbie!!
Hey Robbie is there any camping around Lake Buffalo love your vids and kayak fishing Jim piper
Thanks Jim. There's camping near y on the river, but not at the lake itself apart from the Myrtleford Fishing Club which have their own space..
I laughed so much cramps in my stomach very very funny video well done Robbie
Haha thanks mate, I'm glad I could give you a laugh. Even if it was at my expense. LOL 🤣
Oh bummer but hey, least ya got a feed, nice vid! 😁🎣
Thanks mate. That could have ended much worse. LOL 😂
@@robbiefishingtrue lol
Definitely were gunna lose that camera forever in 1.2meters of water 😂😂 lucky you were quick
🤣🤣🤣
LOL mate it was deeper than that where I tipped. Where my hat was was where I tipped, it would have been over 2 metres.
I was laughing when you said "I have found everything except my hat..." It was like one of those old puppet shows with me sitting here pointing and shouting "Behind YOU!"@fishing🤣🤣
Aha! Tipped out of that kayak hey, I can see you are getting closer and closer to the Hobie Pro Angler. One day I will be right.🤔
😂 I love subtle.
Well that's one way to bleed a fish 😅 ahhh leeches....
Well at least if you were going to fall in it was good day for a swim 👍
Your mum wants to see you do this, mate. Don't tempt fate. 😆
Haha absolutely. Had this happened in winter it wouldn't have been as good an outcome. LOL
@@AndrewFishman haha I have had a few close calls in the yak 😂

Ohhhh! THAT explains it. And that is why he could not figure out how he tipped! THE LEECH DID IT. Well detectivorised mate!
Hahaha when I rang my daughter Holly to tell her about the leech that evening she replied "Good luck with your dreams tonight Dad". 🤣🤣🤣
@@robbiefishing 🤣🤣🤣
Robbie just as well its a sit on kayak its very difficult to get back in a sit in kayak . Years ago i had a fancy sit in kayak and ended up in the drink port Phillip bay , trying to get in you have the bloody waves keep rolling the kayak over .
Just as well i carried an inflatable paddle float that goes over one end of the paddle , use it like an outrigger to get back in .
ANY KAYAKER OR CANOEST A GOOD IDEA TO PRACTICE CAPSIZE THEN RE-ENTRY >>> IT COULD ONE DAY SAVE YOUR LIFE !
Excellent advice mate. I have done this a lot, and encouraged it myself. I attribute this to the reason the entire boat didn't too. I knew when to let go.
I owned enclosed hull kayaks for years. There's no way I could ever climb in one, not a hope in hell.
@@robbiefishing I did the same mate after that scare i soon put it up for sale in the trading post ! stay safe 👍!
My wife says you are a big nancy blouse, we watch you all the time & the snakes don't bother you what's going on?😂
🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha Tell her that she is 100% correct. LOL 😆😆 I'm big and bold around snakes, but get me near a leech and I turn to marshmallow. LOL 😆😆
Just another day hey Robbie. 😃
Haha yep.
Geez that’s an opportunistic leech! Would it’s anticoagulant taint the meat? Specifically in the spot it was sucking?
I wouldn't think so mate as it was attached to the skin, which is like armour and I removed the skin.
@@robbiefishing yeah that’s true I was thinking that because of the scales. But I still found it funny the leech even tried!
great video very entertaining.
Thanks so much mate. 👍👍
SMALL BOAT HEAVY LOAD . ALL GOOD FISHIING . DID YOU MAKE THIS UP LIKE A HOLLYWOOD STAR ROBBIE ??? NEED A LIFE JACKET ROB🤗
Haha nothing scripted here mate, just one of those days.
I had a life jacket on but chose not to pull the chord as I did not feel as though I was in danger at any point.
Had I been in trouble I would have pulled it.
It is compulsory to wear them, but not compulsory to pull the chord.
Um please explain.. what's the smallest coloured one well lunch 😂
Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣 I may have tripped over my tongue. LOL
Yeah Optus and vodaphone are terrible service 10 minutes out off town and I drop out off service but atleast no one annoys me while I’m out fishing trying to ring
That's definitely something that I am enjoying more and more these days, having no phone service.
Attack of the killer leaches 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. I know i shouldn't laugh. But it was very entertaining sorry to say but it was. I've lost a mobile phone into the depths of the lake hired a professional diver but he couldn't find it. I don't make the same mistake twice. Now when I'm out in the lake i have my mobile tied onto the boat. Maybe tie a bit of fishing gut to your camera and to the kayak or to yourself. A little snap swivel at each end of the gut will do the trick. Mind yourself out there Robbie take care of yourself. Two fellows in a bar one says to the other "Robbie Alexander the RUclips sensation is after dieing mate". Second fella says "what did he did from a snake bite poision from a spider bite"? First fellow says "No mate i believe he seen a small little leach on the end of his big toe and got a heart attack and when they found him it was only a small earthworm he used thousands of jam jack worms in his time and one very small worm i think it was a jam jack worm that done him in mate. 😮
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 THAT is a story worth reading about. Sad passing, but a viable option.
"Here lies Robbie Fishing
Died of shock.
He used the worm.
The worm killed him
The worm eats him
The worm's revenge.
May he rest forever in peace. "
Hahahaha that's so funny, and true. LOL
I had been fly fishing that morning and had a ripper time. All of the footage was on that camera. Losing that footage was a huge concern.
Not as huge as leeches though, or anything that looks like them. LOL 🤣 🤣🤣
Good ON ya Ollie!
I lost about $2k of stuff when I rolled mine . Gopro 10 , Samsung 22 with all my licenses in it , 2 fishing rod outfits and my car keys . Your very lucky Rob.
BIG ouch!
Melanesians use outriggers on their canoes also :) For thousands of years. @fonovic3551
WOW mate, that is a very expensive fishing trip.
Robbiesubmarine 😁 I reckon a giant leech was behind that capsize ..... They're after you.
Hahaha they sure are after me. Leeches revenge. LOL
Omg Robbie mate. That wasn’t funny. But it actually was. Bloody Pepsi. Wouldn’t have dropped it if it was a Melbourne stubby. Haaa . Be careful old mate. 😅
Hahahaha thanks Camels. That's so funny.
God u make me lol... Awesome video bro 😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha thanks bro. You and I both have the same ability to laugh things off. LOL 😂😂
What about your feet Robbie? Do they get burnt?
Sometimes they do. I had a lot of waterproof sunscreen on them. I was worried they would still get but t anyway but they didn't. It must work.
You are so lucky I would have lost everything 😂
Yep. Me too.
LOL I was very lucky that I didn't.
Try getting a leach stuck too your eye ball!😅 two years ago I was walking out from a river too the main road after trout fishing. Ended up getting a leach on my eye ball 😅 it was trying to get behind my eye lids! Had no fingers basically behind my eye trying to pick it out which wasn't working. So retorted to using my phones reverse camera and needle nose pliers to grab on to it. After a slow pull my eye ball was coming out along with the leach but after a second of telling my self don't be a pussy. I yanked it off 😅
I had got the leach off my eye while I was still In the thick bush but ended up having too take 3 different types of eye drops for the damage I gave myself trying to get it out 😂
What is it with Robbie's viewers, leeches and eyeballs. I swear, I never had a problem with leeches themselves, but these stories make me want to 🤮🤢😂 Hope your eye healed alright!
OMG that would be my absolute worst nightmare. My eyes are watering just reading this comment. YUK!
If Robbie isn't careful he might just re-enact the scene from "Stand By Me"
Hahahaha I remember that scene. LOL 😂
The centre of balance never stood a chance lol.
Haha it struggles when I'm sitting still. LOL 🤣🤣
Here's a robbie moment! You need to invent a inflatable camera saver. One that goes off when it's submerged or even better one for fishing rods. Call me further great business ideas mate! Tight lines
Haha thanks mate, and excellent idea.
Vampire worms..lol
Funny that...I tipped myself out of my Kayak yesterday (Sunday 25th Feb)for the first time ever....lost my tackle box.
I honestly can't remember why or how I tipped my Kayak yesterday but I learned 2 valuable lessons...I have pontoons so I don't tip the kayak (doesn't work),I was wearing one of those round the neck automatic inflating pfds and it trapped me with the inflated pfd blown up on one side of the pontoon arm and my head just above water on the other side,luckily someone was nearby and could flip my upturned kayak off the pfd....fun and games while fishing.
WOW Darren I'm glad you are OK mate.
I could never own a self inflating life jacket. I want to be in control of when it blows up.
I'm a.strong swimmer and I back myself, but want to know that I can pull the cord if I need to.
@@robbiefishing yeah...I've got 2 other normal pfds that I'll be using from now on....on the plus side I did catch a very nice sizable golden perch yesterday before I tipped.
Note to self, if "go-pro on head"-ing in a kayak, attach a boat key float to go-pro.
Great idea.
Hey Robbie, I wear skins when I'm fishing with shorts over the top. Makes a massive difference
And they're stretchy too. Kmart bro, they're cheap as. Give em a crack
Thanks mate. I use to have a pair of Puma leggings, they worked a treat. Thanks for the reminder, I must check them out.
You did say it was hot. That is one way to fight the heat.
Haha absolutely it was. LOL
Unlucky Robbie!
What a you beaut cod there at the end!
Thanks mate, it was a pleasant way to end the day that's for sure.
I new another girl that was scared of leeches 😂😂. But seriously would a piece of gauze like flywire screen over the scupper work.
Quite possibly Peter. I think this was a one off though, it's never happened before. If it happens again I will be looking for ways to prevent it. Haha
How about using scupper plugs? My kayak has them.
I reckon it would be worth dragging your lure through those dead trees looking for a yellowbelly.
They're been stocked in there but rarely ever get caught. I reckon most of them have gone over the wall to be honest. The cod have been much more successful.
Come on Robbie your not fulling us, it was the Lake Buffalo mermaid, that made you jump out of the kayak.😂 Next time attach a small floating device to your camera.
Haha thanks mate. 👍
Leech's!!!!!!
🤣 I just teased him with the same.
Haha they're horrible things.
I love you
❤❤😂😅😅
More cod fishing in the kyak in the river
What's going on old mate you're getting attacked by leaches your falling out of kayaks your in all types of bother 😢
Haha I'm in a hell of a mess. LOL I'm losing my tough... But still able to catch fish. LOL 😅
@@robbiefishing wait till dad sees all them it's a keeper alright thrown back because of the leech that might crawl in the kayak 😂😂😂😂
Just do NOT come off that bike. I would hate to see the chrome scratched up. @@robbiefishing And seeing you all bunged up would be awful.
🤣@@jeffbaade8480
Tumblumble!
no life jacket bro
I actually showed my life jacket in the video.
😅😂😂❤️
Hey, where's your life jacket?
Exactly where I showed it in the video. 👍👍 I literally show the life jacket in the video.
get a stringer and hang it behind the kayak maybe?
Good to see the sunscreen on your face under your hat Robbie, but I can't work out how that sensitive skin on your feet doesn,t get burnt to blisters!
Hi Lance, I had a lot of sunscreen on my feet too don't you worry. It was waterproof sunscreen, so I guess it worked. They didn't get burnt.
