New Episode Out Now!!– with Steve “Boothy” Booth!

This week we sit down with one of the true legends of the Aussie fishing scene, and a great mate of ours – Steve Booth. Most people know him as Boothy, and chances are if you’ve ever picked up a fishing mag, watched a show, or been at a comp, you’ve come across his work. He’s been involved with AFN, Fishing Monthly, Wilson Fishing, and OzFish, just to name a few.

We cover a heap in this episode:

• How fishing in Australia has changed and evolved over the years

• The importance of fish habitat and giving back to the waterways

• What really fuels the passion for fishing – beyond just catching fish

• Big topics like Murray cod, barra, and everything in between

• From the competitive world of tournaments to the laid-back joy of rec fishing

What makes this yarn even better is that it’s not just about the technical stuff – it’s about the friendships, the culture, and the stories that keep us all coming back to the water. Boothy’s been around the traps long enough to have seen it all, and he shares it with the same honesty and humour that make him one of the most respected blokes in the industry.

It’s a great chat with an even better mate, and one you don’t want to miss.

Grab a beer, kick back, and have a listen, you’ll be nodding along, laughing, and probably planning your next trip by the end of it. #murraycod #FishingPodcast #CodtalesPodcast #freshwaterfishing #stories #tournamentfishing #FishingAustralia #fishing #mentalhealthawareness #fish #ozfish

NEW CODTALES EPISODE –chatty with little Kek and Mitch cone on bass world championships

Righto crew, strap in because this week’s episode is a proper rollercoaster of fishing yarns, banter, and a few questionable life choices:

🔥 Should rivers stay open during cod season? We throw some spicy opinions around and give you tips on how to chase yellas without accidentally giving a cod a free piercing.

Fish behaviour 101: Learn how to read fish so you’re not accidentally pulling a big green off the nest and ending up on the DPI naughty list.

NSW Trout Cod Action Plan: The government’s rolled out a 10-year plan to get these little battlers back – we break it down in plain English (and probably offend someone in the process).

Teams Fishing – Burrinjuck Round: Camp chaos, questionable hygiene, and some proper fishing highs and lows.

Lockie Mac’s diss track: Yep, the line “got your b***h on her back like this that” gets a run. You’ve been warned.

A-scope vs Transducer Ping: Az reckons it’s witchcraft, the rest of us reckon it’s a game-changer – you decide.

Special Guest: mitchellcone_anglingaustralia is back! Fresh off bringing home 3rd place in the Bass World Championships for Team Australia – bloke’s basically a fishing weapon.

If you love fishing, swearing, and laughing at other people’s pain – this one’s for you.

Aussie Bass Classic – Lake Sinclair 🎣🔥🌧️

What a weekend! We headed to the Aussie Bass Classic at Lake Sinclair and… well… it was eventful. Featuring legends Lachlan Latham & Mick Hayden, we copped rain, rain, and more rain 🌧️ but that didn’t slow the fun.

Az somehow lost his shirt, jumped over a fire (don’t ask), we got introduced to some “mini beers” 🍻, and found out the bilge pumps had decided to clock off when we needed them most.

Met some absolute cracking people, spun plenty of yarns, raffled off some gear, and put on a BBQ. Lachie Latham and the Aussie Bass Classic raised $3,200 for mental health 🙌 Huge thanks to everyone who chipped in – every dollar counts.

A weekend of laughs, fishing, and chaos… just how we like it 🤙

Rhys and Nick jump on the mic for an absolute ripper yarn from drifting a river with Az and Nick and landing a brute 89cm Murray cod, followed by 4 more over 70cm, to heading south to Crookwell chasing trout at Pejar Dam where the boys got stuck into some rainbows and Az landed a donkey brown on a Tassie Devil 🎯

Plenty of cod chat as always, why we love the hunt, the hits, and the heartbreaks 🎣💥

Plus, we’re looking ahead at some exciting events on the calendar:

🟢 Aussie Bass Classic

🟢 Mate v Mate

🟢 Teams Fishing Australia

This week on Cod Tales, we go on a wild ride across species and state lines. We kick things off with a 28km-drift mission on the Macquarie, where some seriously well-conditioned cod kept us honest. Then it's off to an unnamed trout dam (no GPS pins here, sorry!) with a surprisingly friendly local town and a few slippery surprises. And just to round things out, we land a 91cm flatty during a mid-week work trip—proof that sometimes the best fishing happens when you’re meant to be doing emails.

Trout, cod, flathead—this one's got it all. Tight lines!

We’re talking about fishing stories that’ll make you snort-laugh, Mental health chats that hit deep (in a good way) The madness of tournament fishing,

The scientific benefits of roasting your mates and Fish facts so weird they sound fake (they’re not)

With so much more! We ditched the fishing to have a chat and let’s just say we had a time on the mics!

Whether you’re on the boat, in the ute, or hiding from your responsibilities — chuck it on and have a laugh with us.

G’day legends, and welcome back to Codtales — the podcast that proves you don’t need to catch fish to talk about ’em for an hour.

This week’s episode is fuller than a camp oven on Easter Sunday: we’re drifting down the river — slowly… painfully… like dragging a shopping trolley through mud. We hit the bush for an Easter fish and feed, tackled Teams Fishing Australia at Mul where the only consistent thing was inconsistency, and, most importantly, we ask the hard-hitting question:

Is taking a dump off the back of the boat really that different to doing it at home? Spoiler alert — it’s not. Except for the wind, the waves, and the fear of eye contact.

Strap in, drop anchor, and let the oversharing begin — this is Codtales!
