For the most part, yes. I find Goldfish are particularly susceptible to bread under a float. I have also caught a few Goldfish on garden worms.

If you go to Gardiners creek under the bridge near dandenong road you can pull up some really big carp

Re: Cornacarpio's Cumulative Carp Culling Caper
Just a question, i was carp fishing on the weekend and i was wondering what will happen if the carps are all culled, now that they make up 80% of all freshwater fish in Australia, creeks such as gardiners creek will be pretty much empty. So will that be the end of fishing creeks such as gardiners creek and others full of carp?

Re: Cornacarpio's Cumulative Carp Culling Caper
Unfortunately it would be near impossible to cull all the carp in our waterways. If we did somehow manage it, it would give native species a chance to repopulate.Nuscani wrote:Just a question, i was carp fishing on the weekend and i was wondering what will happen if the carps are all culled, now that they make up 80% of all freshwater fish in Australia, creeks such as gardiners creek will be pretty much empty.

Re: Cornacarpio's Cumulative Carp Culling Caper
That would take decades for native species to travel all the way into gardiners creek and other carp dominated creeks, unless the government spent alot of money to stock long creeks with native species, which I would love to happen but I don't think they would.Broomstick wrote:Unfortunately it would be near impossible to cull all the carp in our waterways.

A lot of them are probably already in there, albeit in really low numbers.
Can't wait for the virus to be released and all the carp wiped out.
