Cod in the yarra/help

[nickfish]

hey all i'm really keen for cod opening to start so im going to head down to warrandyte in the yarra. Although i'm a big noob
when it comes to freshwater fishing. i know for cod to cast in a snag thats about it, am i better of using lures or bait for cod. atm im aiming for lures as i dont want to by catch eels but if people recommend bait more than happy to use it. If anyone could help with where to look when finding a spot what time/bait/lures i've never caught a freshwater cod before so any help would be much appreciated more than you think.
one last thing i dont want to sound like a leech or anything but if any could point out some general locations on where to fish (not asking for any secret spots) just a few general tips.
Thank you all and look forward to reporting in on monday. :a_goodjob: :woohoo:

Yarra around warrandyte the is a good start (blue tounge bend) take 1 rod only coz it's about 2km walk to get there.. I would go for a big bait so you don't catch anything as a by catch. Cod are hard to catch at the best of times so be patient.

use grubs as bait and spinner baits for lures
