Psylo Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) That's really great. What sort of variety? My old man's in Bundy, I wonder if he's catching fish in his backyard. edit: typo's Edited January 26, 2013 by Psylo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
in_spirit Posted January 26, 2013 Not really sure the water source is downhill about 2-300 meters freshwater. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SunChaser Posted January 26, 2013 What sort of variety? Its a Bass isn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Psylo Posted January 26, 2013 My question was more about how many varieties he's catching. Jabez, you should go up there, its a free smorgasboard, and will save you dumpster diving for dinner scraps for a few days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halcyon Daze Posted January 26, 2013 I think its a Spangled Perch. The big ones are only just big enough to eat. An interesting aggressive species and are nice in a native aquarium. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazonian Posted January 26, 2013 *Wonders if the fish came in with the tornado, down with the rain, or up from the stream. lol. That fish is big enough to eat ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
in_spirit Posted January 26, 2013 Yeah i beleive they are silver perch they are farmed here and fingerlings have been put in the dam but who knows maybe spangled?????They have swum across paddock intobackyard and frontyard and next paddock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theuserformallyknownasd00d Posted January 26, 2013 I guess why not "harvest" some beauties for the pot! Hope you have a good freezer, you'd be set for a while after a food filleting session! Do you have the means to return some of them to the water source once the floods stop? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
in_spirit Posted January 26, 2013 Yeah they are all going back but they were swimming uphill to certain death so catch and re-release into my dam if they swam downhillthey would be in a creek and could swim out to a river. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigred Posted January 26, 2013 maybe a juvenile silver bass but definitely not a spangled perch on my uncles property there are fish in his dam and no one ever introduced fish into it but he thinks they came with the rain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goneski Posted January 27, 2013 Nice fish and nice colour nails I was going to suggest to do a clear, glossy undercoat first next time, as well as a top coat to help the colour 'pop' a little more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
