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. "Mike Harding" wrote in message ... 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 Mike Harding |

No it is not illegal to return dead carp to the water, for example live carp can not be used as bait but dead carp (or parts of) can. |
