  • Hi guys, welcome back to another episode of Luke's Fishing. In today's video I decided to film and upload a video at one of Melbourne's most over fished Redfin lakes. The conditions weren't great with all the weed around however, my mate and i still managed to pull out some nice fish. At lakes like this it is always important to make sure you release the fish, so either myself or another fisherman can enjoy the fishery for the years to come.

    Lack of fish is because all the red fin smashing all the juveniles in the lake. Red fin should not be put back where there are natives as well.

    Excellent work on the catch and release. Really more should be doing this. So many lakes I’ve fished lately which are pretty much empty due to people eating everything they catch. Complete stupidity

    Actual reason the fish numbers are decreasing is not by people taking them it's because the lack of food available and the adult fish eating the eggs and juveniles to survive..Taking fish out and reducing the numbers can actually increase the size and numbers in enclosed waterways..Other option is to feed them like they do in fish farms

      That is not true. There is plenty of food in here, as you can see that Redfin are thick and healthy. If there was no food you'd catch a lot of small skinny fish and that's not the case. Also back in the day before a lot of people used to fish here, you'd get multiple fish in the 40s and a heap of other good size fish.

      Yes plenty of food, their own offspring..Lesser the competition for food the bigger the fish grow..How many small redfin do you catch, probably very few and I mean small ..None I saw you catch were under 20 cm 1:16 g

  • @tezzaskayakfishing
    @tezzaskayakfishing 3 месяца назад +2

    You’re not too bright aye. If you don’t take some Redfin they over populate the water as they are prolific breeders then the whole lake is full of stunted small Redfin as there’s too many fish chasing the same food supply. Before you start spouting you should learn some facts.

    • @tezzaskayakfishing
      @tezzaskayakfishing 3 месяца назад

      Secondly if you’re so concerned about releasing fish it’s probably best to not spin them around by their bottom lip and release them carefully instead of just launching them back. Dick.

      You're an absolute dopey cunt. The big fish eat the smaller ones thinning out the population. You sound like a Redfin expert so you should know that. If you take the bigger reddies they'll all stunt and you'll find the lake will be full of 20cm reddies. Get the fuck off my page sad cunt
