Fishing Victoria Forum

Fines seems a bit exsessive If it was up to me anyone transporting and releasing a noxious fish into a water in which they do not already exist would receive a mandatory goal term. That is precisely how we got into the environmental disaster we have with carp which even with millions of dollars we ...

Guppie You can tell him that the fine for a FIRST OFFENCE for transporting carp to another water is $15,000: $15,857.00 Noxious aquatic species - bring into Victoria, take, keep or possess, sell, transport, put into container, release into protected waters - first offence A second offence is $31,714...

The old timers used things such as parrots and centipedes. Apart from bardie grubs and yabbies the most popular baits were a carp (goldfish), slipperies (blackfish) and the dressed marrow out of a bullock. Time and time again I have been told the marrow was the best bait. I suppose it has the look o...

Here is the forecast from Thursday with total rainfall out to December 6: rain forecast.png The area immediately east of Melbourne was predicted to exceed 100 mm by next Wednesday. Some areas have already come close to that. The rainfall record for Cairns in one day is 247.2mm on February 8 2015 - I...

100 mm is a pretty big rain event by Victorian standards. 200 mm in 24 hrs is rare. The original modelling 48 hours out forecast about 250 mm over 3 days centred roughly on Mount Hotham. They were out by about 100 km too far east, with the wettest area being near Strathbogie which has had nearly 200...

Not overhyped around here.

In the last 24 hours Goulburn Weir and Murchison well over 100 mm. In the Strathbogie/Mansfield area falls of near 200 mm, some roads closed, some people's houses getting flooded.

Best Wishes

Perhaps it has something to do with the predators they evolved with in the UK. Redfin feed aggressively in dim light, but once it is pitch dark they ...
