    In Australia we call them Red Fin, and they are classified an invasive species that can not be released when caught. They can grow upwards of ten pounds in some water ways and make good eating. Looked like you had a lot of fun George, that's what it's all about.

    • @adventurefishinguk
      @adventurefishinguk  Год назад +1

      I knew you had them over there but I didn’t know they needed to be killed! We have a similar rule with Zander, they’re supposed to be killed but no one does. Do people ignore the rules and put perch back? I didn’t know they got to 10lb that’s crazy!

      @laurencetilley9194 Год назад

      I have never caught redfin in the Murray river anywhere near ten pounds, those big fellas were caught in irrigation drainage lakes. that were not easily accessed. The water that filled the lakes had been drawn from the Murray river transported via open cut channels to irrigate properties then drained in those lakes. I have also caught them to that size in major water reservoirs and compounds that were constructed to hold vast amounts of water for town and city domestic use.@@RUclipsTookMyNickname.WhyNot

    Wonder if its worth looking for Weedless jig heads to try n combat the snag issues. And Ive found when using softplastics on a jig head like those that they work or fish better on sumthing like a Palomar loop knot rather than the knot being right up on the hook eye.

  • @bigdaddydawgf.t.p.
    @bigdaddydawgf.t.p. Год назад +1

    When fishing the canals aren't you able to use a weedless system like a Texas Rig where you get the worm please turn on the hook just like you did and get the end of it and kind of slide it onto the hook so that way it doesn't snag on everything in the canal

    • @adventurefishinguk
      @adventurefishinguk  Год назад +1

      Yeah i probably should be fishing more like that, it wouldn't avoid snags altogether but would definitely help!

    Our "yellow perch" in the USA are remarkably similar, and remarkably tasty.
    And two pounds is considered a big one here, as well. (Someone saying they get to ten pounds down under ... well, I'd need to see one!)

    • @adventurefishinguk
      @adventurefishinguk  Год назад
