Great content mate! if you want to see this spot before they cleared it check out some of my older videos, it has been totally damaged now, a word of advise though it's illegal to make the hole size on those bait traps bigger for freshwater fishing in creeks east of the Great Dividing range, it can drown Platypus, native Water Rats, and Turtles if they get caught, just thought I'd give you the heads up as fisheries do patrol these areas, it's a pain those Geo's are in there though and in such numbers, they breed like rabbits, I found the easiest way to catch them is at night with a torch, they sit on the edges and you can just scoop them up.
Thanks appreciate the advice, I have since gone back and fished for some geo hook line sinker and had some success. It’s a nice place to visit and I have seen some of your older videos but didn’t realise you’d actually filmed this actual location.
@@Dundeel. It used to be really nice and full of fish and aquatic plants, it was a bit of a let down seeing it like this, I used to go snorkelling there, believe it or not it was much clearer and deeper, even the turtles were tame, there used to be a couple of native water rats to but I haven't seen them since it's been cleared.
@@australianbiotopes4563 that’s really sad to hear.. have the pearl cichlids been in there for long? My uncle fishes Wivenhoe he gets them as by catch in his shrimp nets as well all the time.. I guess at least not seeing numbers of gambusia or tilapia is at least a decent sign
@@Dundeel. Yes they have been around for a fair while, I have seen them in their 1000s in some other spots unfortunately, I'm also happy for some reason there aren't to many Gambusia there or there probably wouldn't be so many Rainbows, I have caught some really big Geo's there in the past, but now I only seem to see young ones, but even the small ones breed rapidly.
@@australianbiotopes4563 interesting my uncle only seem to start catching them in his shrimp nets within the last 2 years prior to that never seen them. There were some really big ones in there when I first filmed this video start of last year and when I returned only last week or even the video I fished the rainbow fish out which was before Christmas the numbers were dwindled down and barely any big ones at all. But I know what you mean about the rapid breeding the footage I took of them on this is probably just from one pair they have no predators in there at all I did find some spangled perch in there but they didn’t seem very aggressive towards them which is odd for spangled perch
You look Very Attentive to the Surroundings & being quite safe in your movements, Been at these kind of places & seen some Eastern Browns drinking from the waters edge & their heads were pretty much the only thing you could see because of the Grass.
Stay safe.
OH! and I would very much enjoy an underwater video like you showed here, as the feature special someday. Very enjoyable
That footage was awesome! Love seeing the surrounding environment too.
Hey mate!, solid content as per usually really enjoyed seeing the under water footage who would of thought those fish would be in Australia.
Nice trapping 👌🏼🌻🌻🌻greetings from Holland 🌷🌷🌷
had aquariums for years. really disappointing that non natives are so present. awesome work making that aware!
The underwater footage was epic bro 🔥🔥🔥 that is why I’m here chasing the Geophagus Brasilliensis a stunning fish … Night time scooping was my easiest way to catching this elusive breed , other than a homemade fish/birdcage trap lol that caught four babies after a week went by … Thanks bro for this awesome content 🔥❤️🔥🔥😎🤙🏼👍🏼
What I appreciate:
Reality. Some other channels seem to only upload videos of success. True experiences will show young kids (or old adults😊) that every day is different, and sometimes it goes for days without a successful "hunt".
The underwater capture was lovely. So was the music. If you didn't list it, would you tell me the title please?
Wow great footage man still havent made my way to the back of moona moona for those blue eyes but will get there- keep it up love the content!
Thanks for enjoying 🤙🏼, let me know how you go with the blue eyes
stunning footage!
great video ❤❤❤ SA
5:30am super early?? wait until you have kids hahahaha..... I got an app called pest watch or fish watch and people report where all the invasive species are. worth a look mate. ugh I hate crows. Man wish we had rainbow fish here. Yeah next time mate go and night with a net and torch and you will literally catch as many as you want. Good content mate. cheers
We got a baby Convict today at the end of Ridge st Greenslopes using a net.
Not sure why but he was cruising around with a school of Gambusia.
It was almost still a fry. Not quite the width of my little finger but still had his stripes.
We have a community tank and we only put the fish we catch in local creeks into it.
A couple of pairs of each type if available.
Oh my that's the last type of fish we need in our waterways, they breed like rats lol. I may go have a look down there one day.
@@Acidassassin420 You just never know what you will get when you get there.
Whenever it rains, everything gets washed down into the salt water at Stones Cnr and different fish get washed down from further up from where we are.
We have caught Fire tail gudgeons, spotted gudgeons, emperor gudgeons, purple spotted gudgeons, flat headed gudgeons, spangled gudgeons, sward tails, Gambusia, platies, mullet, herring, tilapia, convicts and crimson rainbows. There are others but these are the ones we have caught that I remember of the top of my head.
You just dont know what you will get each time you go there.
Have a go yourself and let me know what you get. Good luck.
Hey just wondering where about this is along northbrook creek?? We went looking for this place today but were unlucky
What upsets me the most about the invasives in this country, is what they have done to our Pearch.
In any Brisbane Creek if you threw a line in, you were going to catch Silver, spangled Pearch and even Yellow Belly when I was a kid. Im now in my early 50's and you really need to go out of Brisbane to catch them. Yes there are a few places left where they are clinging but invasive fish, especially Tilapia are out competing them.
Last time we got a feed of Yellow Belly we had to travel to Moree (Gamilaroi peoples country) and got some of the locals to show us where and how.
Get a scoop net can’t believe you go out without one
Are you able to tell us how you go about finding these spots?
I will post a video this weekend
Went there yesterday and got 12 cichlids all on a hook and bait i have now got them as pets😁
Nice! Wait bait did you use?
@@generalaquatics2248 hope you left some for me
@@Dundeel. oh I sure did I didnt make a dint in there population
@@generalaquatics2248 yeah it’s pretty sad but cool to see at same time it’s weird
@@generalaquatics2248 just spent a 5 hours there dropping worms on there hear they had no interest in them wouldn’t even touch them
were you able to positively identify the species? they look like Acara to me. not the neon kind but the regular kind.
They are geophagus brasiliensis
You should have used a cast net? You can use them in QLD
Not in fresh water
I'm in Adelaide and caught these out local fountain
For real? How long ago was that?
If you don’t mind me asking area/body of water it’s understandable if not
Northbrook creek
@@Dundeel. thank you so much your a legend
@@Southside_fishn no worries
Are they jewel cichlids
No, they are Geophagus brasiliensis, originally from SE of South America.
Were you at wivenhoe? I was wondering as i saw another channel there. Id love to see them in the wild...
😂hay I now know who keeps putting non native fish in the creeks or at least the person that is promoting it 👎💩🤔wake up kid
You’re a clown mate, these fish been in this water for years
Yep he looks like he has never been fishing and doesn't care about the huge loss of native AUSTRALIAN species 😂😢🤔👎💩
You’re funny, like you’re own comment🤣
