reelin 2 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Hi Guys and Gals I came across this fish while netting glenelg golf course wetlands for carp we caught all up around 10 -15 of them most being in the 15 to 20cm category with 2 or 3 20-25 cm specimens!I already know or think i Know what it is But i want to see who comes up with the correct answer first ! On The Carp Front we pulled out over 300 with 200 coming from one pool alone and probably 15 to 20 45-65 cm fish!

Ben m 0 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Awesome little fish they are. Believe it or not i caught one on a 35mm blade while fishing the port near the birkenhead, with Weaver one day a couple of years ago. Easily one of my most unusual captures. Reckon i still got pics of it somewhere as we both couldnt believe how it managed to get in there and that it hit a blade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

weaver 271 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Biggest one of these i have caught come out of pure freshwater ( not the murray) was around 30cm long.They have also started to show up again in the murray again with the flows, got a few in the yab nets earlier this year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben m 0 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 The rivers here in gawler used to be (probably still are) full of them. Used to get heaps in the yabby nets when i was a kid. Would love to keep one in an aquarium to learn more about them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weaver 271 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 My old man use to fish them mate for congolli in the 60's and said they tasted alright Quote Link to post Share on other sites
