We sit with guide and angler Andrew Colston from Australia to chat all about an incredible, beastly, elusive fish, the MURRAY COD! This fish has fascinated us for years, but the truth is - we know NOTHING about it. So we brought Andrew on, a wicked angler who has been chasing these fish for years, to give us the low down. This episode is an intro to this incredible fish. We've only scratched the surface. Thanks for coming on, Andrew! Follow Andrew on Instagram. Book him for a day of fishing for murray cod!    HOW TO HELP SO FLY: Please go leave us a review on APPLE PODCASTS.
