It was a fair enough question in the light of our many trips away in recent years but to be honest this time I didn't have any concrete plans. To my surprise Russell had a quick answer to my dilemma. It's right on the river bank, with jetty and a launching ramp of sorts. The Murray is home not only to cod, but yellow-belly, and redfin, as well as silver perch, crays and yabbies. Russell had really got me thinking and in no time at all I had got in touch with his mate Greg and had things organised for a trip at the end of that month.
