Nice.

I'm looking forward to the warmer weather to start throwing some lures around and a few prawns.

All saltwater fishing for me.

We need more fishing threads. They seem to be all hunting. Are the perch and walleye native or introduced?

/serious

Are they marsupial perch? ;) :lol:

With big pointy fangs, and venom sacks, and shaped just the right way so that when you try to throw them back they come straight back to you.

Yeh, they were blurry for me too. :unknown: Freshwater in Australia is mainly our Bass, or Perch depending on where you come from, Murray Cod (they get huge) Yellow belly, trout, mostly brown and rainbow. Plus a few others including the Barramundi which is both fresh and saltwater.

I'm a fisherman but I don't hunt. Everyone I know hunts except for some family in Jersey, although I have friends and family in Jersey that hunt as well. I just kill stuff when I have to. And my hunter friends give me meat. I give away fish on occasion but I really don''t take it seriously. Fishing is more fun than food.

Sounds like most of you guys are culling a very massive herd by the thousands, be it bunnies or others.

We have a lot of feral animals here mate, in fact if it wasn't for the introduced animals hunting would be pretty boring. There's really not much sport in shooting kangaroos and it is part of our coat of arms, so we don't shoot them unless they happen to be in plague proportions which happens at times.
