Was flowing a bit at blanchetown today. Don't think it would be too bad up there for ya mate

Flows have dropped quite a bit and will continue to drop.You'll be fine.

PikkOn, Tandanus Catfish should always be handled carefully.They have 'saw-edged spines' in the dorsal and pectoral fins that can inflict painful wounds. I'm talking from experience too!

Red-Devil,If i may. I wish to indulge in some of my own thoughts too:-)I fished a lot of course fishing matches on the Murray and lakes (Bonney, Albert & Alexandrina) during the early 90's through to the late 90s.As we fished for a total bag weight, naturally the species targeted was, in the main, carp as they are abundant.Following the floods in the early and mid 90s the carp population was noticeably reduced in the later 90s as was reflected in bag weights.We even saw greater numbers of juvenile Golden Perch and Cod taking baits such as shrimp when varying baits. Not so much the Silvers though in my experience.A couple of theories here;1- Flooding washed the carp downstream and many out of the mouth (I have seen evidence of this on Sugars beach recently, but to no great extent).2- The floods afforded natives access the natural floodplains promoting breeding followed by the subsequent generation knocking off many carp fry.In my opinion I think a little of both of the above, with a heavy slant towards natives breeding during flooding and the offspring knocking off carp fry.Either way. The point I am making is, that i am a believer that water flows are a major contributor to the success of natives. The cod included. The coming years will hopefully ring true to this after the recent high water levels.Cheers Neil

I caught this in the Murray at Tailem Bend.Not sure what it is,.Anybody have a clue?

Sure is a pike, not sure exactly what sub-species so country of origin is a bit tricky, the english like releasing their fish over here so that would be my first guess. Well worth reporting to fisheries;) cheers

Any chance that "knobs on jet-ski's" come under this banner?
