 Nice fish, especially that perch. Just a heads up I don't think you're allowed to intentionally 'jag' fish

 Aren't carp considered pests

Sun, 2014-11-23 16:40

 Aren't carp considered pests and should be "destroyed" on capture and not released back?

 

Anyway, glad you had fun little mate. Thats what fishing is all about!

Great post great fishing

Sun, 2014-11-23 16:49

Well done, what a great silver perch it looks like you have discovered your own private fishing hole for those days when it's not to good fishing from the local beaches. It just goes to show how little we know about what resides in those lakes so close to our homes and what surprises there can be in them.

I'am getting the strong feeling that certain people have had enough of the negativity from the water authority about stocking Australian natives in water ways that there may be, or has been a bit of mid night stocking going on, on the quiet, and all of a sudden the results of this activity are starting to come out from the shadows.

 Kingfisha wanna go on Friday

Sun, 2014-11-23 17:07

 Kingfisha wanna go on Friday afternoon, saturday all day, and Sunday afternoon? I really want to go, my parents would stay there with me. Idk but I might drop a net for gilgies, my dad used to live way out in the country and had dams holding them and he said they tasted awesome. Those are good sized carp and that's the biggest silver perch I've seen but it says they get to 8kg. But I think the page musut have gotten it wrong because that's the biggest silver perch I've ever seen by far. I know where it is but not telling, do you guys think spinning 5cm hard bodies and a few softies with 4lb braid and 8lb leader and a 2-4kg rod would handle something like that perch? I can't wait to get the noodle rod on those fish aswell it will look so cool if I get a fish like that!

great catches, just a heads

Sun, 2014-11-23 17:07

great catches, just a heads up the opera house trap in the first photo is totally illegal in wa (correct me if im wrong). also don't get caught haha, Im pretty sure your not really supposed to fish in lakes like that. But your doing no harm. So unless a little suburb warrior rings up the ranges and dobs, youll be right.

Might have to go have a peek in some of the lakes around me!!

im not sure about the record, because usually for "official" records that are recognised by clubs etc. you need to weigh on official scales etc.

But yea it was a nice perch

Nice work Kingfisha thats a great Silver Perch.

Be careful to keep your pond a secret as by going on what happened recently with Fisheries and Murdoch Uni boys unneccessarily killing that Murray Cod in Canningvale you dont want them coming around and electrofishing your secret lake. Its looking like the Perth lakes are turning up some great fishing lately.

Sun, 2014-11-23 21:10

 We don't edit, that doesn't mean tell everyone who doesn't know where it is. And if they find it on google earth, it doesn't matter because that means that they put time and effort into their fishing and it will pay off. We ask others for their spots in open forums, they can choose to reply and tell us where it is, or they can say they don't want to say. Kingfisha and I both respect that. When someone questions our spot it is annoying because Kingfisha usually says please don't tell where the spot is, and they end up doing it. They could always pm and we will reply. Fishing at the lake may not be your idea of fishing but Kingfisha is not you and may enjoy it. you should respect Kingfisha because he and I both have never been rude to you

 Well done KF1, and as for jagging, you are not allowed to jag fish intentionally except for the 31st December, which is known as jagging day. Yes I know there is only 30 days in December, but the break down of the law indicated no jagging from the 1st January to the 31st December, so the 31st was known in the fisheries as jagging day because it didn't exist, bit long winded but true.

 solid fish that perch. Do they ever stock yellowbelly perch in wa lakes, I would imagine they would be closely related to the silver perrch. Used to catch them in storage dams over east when I was younger, they used to hit a lure very hard, apparently they were also good on the tooth.

 Keep in mind, that although these young blokes may not be fishing strictly within the rules, they are school kids and are learning about fishing. They have been educated by the posts on this thread.

They are not breaking into your house, stealing your car or tagging on your walls. Which is exactly what a lot of kids their age did this Sunday.

I for one would have no issue if they catch silver perch, koi, carp and what ever else in every damn lake from Bunbury to Two Rocks. As long as they keep fishing as their weekend hobby, I'm all for it.

 Lachy and kingfisha

remember you guys are only 13 your posting on a free place where the majority are grown men who are free to say anything they want. You don't want to build a bad rep for acting like you rule place cause then no one will take you seriously on here. If you have a problem then message them personally, no need to turn it into a huge argument. Also if your willing to ask for peoples fishing spots you should be prepared to share some of your own.  Was probably a tad rude to  blatently post the spot without asking you first 

 

On another note good fish mate. Carp fishing a great fun especially on light gear.  Also the silver perch is a stonka!

You are not going to get any help from people on this forum if you write like that, mate.

It is a public forum, and you post unedited photos of it. Acouple of days after an article in a state wide publication about it! Of course someone will recognise it and add to the conversation about it.

Speaking from experience, and as one who joined an Internet forum in my teens and made a right arse of myself, be polite, tactful and respectful. No one likes an smart arse, especially a young one.
