i hope you made use of this fish. im a local my self but to see such good meat go to waste is some how disturbing. being such a good eating fish aswell. instead of throwing them back or throwing them away with such a copius ammount you should have taken them to one of the local homless shelters or something
@UndoneB4Broken most were taken by a couple fo fellow anglers on tha bank mate. Im not too keen to hand them off to other people to eat as the water quality in LBG is pretty ordinary. I wont eat them myself so handing them onto a homeless shelter and making others crook wouldnt be very nice at all. But if the people who take them from me want to eat them, best of luck to them.
G'day mate! I'm in West Oz and tried so many times for these pest! I've only caught fingerlings? What was the water temp are you guys fishing in cause i know the heat slows them down on the feeding stage and are your retrievals on your lures always slow or would you retrieve faster in clear water?
Us in England can only dream of such good perch fishing as they are not that common, hard to catch in our waters and prised as a catch and return sport fish.
I understand that they are a pest there, there surely must be a market for a company to buy all the live perch you guys catch, ship them to the UK to stock depleted waters.
Sadly we nearly lost all Perch in the 70s but they are making a comeback - but I doubt they will never get a prolific as you have them.
@ThePhasMan wish we could round em all up and send them back, along with the carp mate. They thrive over here in most areas and are a real threat to our native species. A group of local fisherman are having a day out this sunday to round up and cull as many as we can from one of our local impoundments. I should have a video up if the fishing is good. Im not sure of the record here is australia, but 6lb wouldnt be too uncommon in some areas. Biggest ive landed is 42cm, which is a good size fish
that a good catch i catchem on lake eldion ive got a nice spot and alwas get 5/8 good size fish im heading up this weekend with my son top vid boyz i subed sub bak
@PoliticalExile3 in victroia it is illegal to return red fin aswell as carp back into the water ways and if your caught doing it it is a very pricey fine
Thanks for the reply mate , So if it's cool for the barbie I recon I will try the first this Summer or maybe Spring when the water warmer up ,I found a spot close to my place wihtout no one guy fishing thanks the lord! and I cought some baby redfin , not many now I suspect because the winter here is also plenty of Bass . but I will try when the water warmer up I have large experience fishing but now living In here learning again from this wonderful land . Thanks!
great fishing guys i ride my bike down to local channels around my house ans normally catch around 20 redfin everyday and the biggest i caught was 3.2lb i release all the little ones to let them breed but if catch a big one i keep it just to get a cheap meal.... by the way what type of rod and reel do you use for redfin fishing??
@wazzafishingteam they are pretty thick up this way, where abouts are you mate? its illegal to put them in back in NSW and ACT, they are a class one pest. You would be better taking all of them out as it will make the population smaller and with that the size of them will increase
@BuckleysLures i live in a small town called kyabram in victoria i only lure fish but my mates use worms but i seem to get more on lures then they do.... i will upload a few videos of me redfin fishing soon
great redfin dude, any particular lures you would recommend to catch them? We were catching them on kokoda lipless crankbaits casting at the trees on the weekend, redfin were smashing them.
@horacebeachboy There's shitloads of them, with no bag limit to how many you catch (it's illiegal to throw them back in) and their delicious for eating.
Hi just wondering what pound line you are using? i have a light rod here, with 2lb fireline on it. which makes it light and easy to cast but im not sure its gonna pull in nice sized reddies and trout on it. should i change to more a 4lb or even 6?
@4ussierocker mate that would do, but i like to up it a bit, i use a 12lb braid with a 16lb mono leader. Bit of overkill but saves on loosing lures, and also it does the job if a big 12lb yella decided to have a go. Id go 4 or 6lb for trout mate.
hey mate thats a great reddie i been gettin a few goodens at goulburn my biggest was 45 cm got him on a little instinck bubble lure in red and gold hes a thumpa i got pics of him great fish but good job
@limlingyang come summer they will be easier to find mate and youll be sick of catching them, they only school up in the deeper sections like that in the winter.
first to watch and comment hey..well mate looks like you got your fishing fix well and truely this day..man i have to come up one weekend and have a play..love the taste of reddies..well done fellas.

Incidently, whats the Oz record in pounds for a redfin (Perch)?
In England it's now 6lb 4oz but thats rare - anything over 3lb is huge.
