Canberra Carp & Co

31/07/2025

Guess what guys? During August, the Down to Fish Aus (DTF) and CC&C collaboration giveaway is going to be our favourite freshwater fighter again! The Mud Marlin! (Carp)

Last month, Liam took out the giveaway with his cold evening entry. Patrick also came in with a 105cm specimen, but the legend was too humble for the giveaway.

Up for grabs this month is another nice baitcaster combo. An Abu Garcia Revo 5 Combo and 150 yards of 15lb Power Pro!

To enter, simply respond as going to this event within the Canberra Fishing Network group. Then post a happy snap or quick video of you measuring a Canberra Mud Marlin with a slip showing DTF CCC 25. If you don't have a slip handy, a quick shout out to DTF for the giveaway in the video will suffice. You can post either within this event timeline within the CFN Group, or just within the Canberra Fishing Network group timeline.

If you are under the age of 18, you will need a parent or guardian to consent to using the photograph on socials and for receipt of the giveaway bundle.

I look forward to seeing some huge Winter Mud Marlin... and for the weather to start warming up. 🥶

Stay Safe and Tight Lines! 🤟

It's so upsetting seeing clips like this. Would prefer the young fella be getting high and doing crime?
I know it's an American video but it's still upsetting.

Congrats Liam! You've taken out the Down to Fish Aus collaborative giveaway for July. Way to go, must have been cold.
Not sure what is on the cards for next month. Keep your eyes peeled within the group in the coming days.

Keep warm 🥶🤟

Patrick Brennan caught his PB Carp overnight. Measuring 105cm, this Canberra Mud Marlin certainly looks heavily built! Well done mate, much longer than my PB of 98cm. I hope to crack the metre mark with a carp one day 🤞

Such a shame Patrick did not have a Down to Fish Aus slip with him for the measurement photo. Otherwise he'd definitely have taken out the DTF collab' giveaway for this month. I understand, not many people get out and about in the cold weather. If nobody has entered the giveaway by the 25th July. The giveaway will carry over to the month of August.

Stay safe and tight lines guys 🎣🤟

Could you imagine getting all sooky at your Dad for waking you at 8am to have a shower, only to be able to fall back asleep straight after some... Post shower zoomies and rolling? 😅 I mean it's only every couple weeks you have a shower anyway!

If he's lucky and Dad feels his leg is up to it, he may be able to go for a bit of a flick today or tomorrow 💪

I love this aerial view of Googong! Not everyday you get to see 4 brand new Black Hawkes do a fly over, over a hand shake between two people in the shade! That day was such a great day 😆

We're incredibly lucky to live just a short stone's throw away from such a great fishery.

Massive Congrats to Grant! Solid chunk of a Reddy right there 💪
Down to Fish Aus will be in touch, if they've not already.

For July, one of the coldest months of the year. Have a guess what I am thinking for the giveaway target species... Yes, the Invasive Canberra Mud Marlin! Carp without a doubt are one of the most fun fresh water species to put a bend in your rod and strip line from your reel! The larger specimen are definitely an addictive fight 🤣

Keep an eye on the CFN group's announcement and events sections for the details of the next giveaway at the start of July.

Also massive shout out to my good friend April. She's got a womens fishing group happening which is also pinned in the CFN group's announcement section. Sounds like there's heaps of awesome things happening over there for woman and mothers with children wanting to try their hand at some fishing aswell! Brilliant work April!

As always, stay safe, warm and tight lines 🤟
