chris_the_lad Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 I think I might have to have a look at the area around Parramatta soon, been fishing Lake Parramatta quite regular but only managed a couple of runs both dropped so far! atb, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimysime Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 what size do the carp go to down under lads, and it may sound daft but do you have the same species there as we have here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katfish Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 what size do the carp go to down under lads, and it may sound daft but do you have the same species there as we have here Hiya, the biggest common I can verify as being genuine was a 40lb 12oz specimen from South Oz, I've seen koi to mid thirty and know of one of 33lb being caught here in WA. I've had a koi of 26lb 12oz - my biggest Aussie carp to date. Mirrors are rare, maybe 1 : 1000 in some waters, and leathers I've never seen or heard of There are some very big commons in Oz, but because of the negative view many have here of carp, captures most often go unrecorded and unreported in order to protect them and their venues Hope this helps?

ausfisher Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 It was a slow days fishing but managed two commons to 5kgs, this place is worth checking out a word of advice though make sure you have a big net. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
