Ep93 - Billy Westerveld: Surface at Lake Mulwala & Lake Eildon for Big Cod

Billy Westerveld looks at Murray Cod in a different way to most, he is very in tune to their behaviours and makes small changes to his fishing with big results. A top guy who is willing to share and help others – which lead him to become one of the SF Team and writing the reports for Lake Eildon.

In this episode Billy talks about surface fishing at Lake Mulwala and also how he targets big cod at Lake Eildon. We get into details about cod behaviour, having the correct hooks and a basic rule for getting started with live tech.
