Great video guys. Thanks for sharing
Surely that's not Lake Wendouree? Never thought I'd see the day someone caught something decent in the old home town
Sam Barton she’s been full for awhile mate ! Plenty fish in there
Mate you should see the trout in lake wendouree as well as the Redfin. Gotta get down there
Plenty in there but wouldn't eat them
@@scod3908 Why not ?
@@nrd6386 it's in the middle of town; it has over a century of urban and industrial contamination run off in it
You probably won't get sick if you tip a kayak in it or eat a fish or two, but it might not be a good idea to eat fish from Wendouree on a regular basis due to bioaccumulation
There are plenty of clean waterway within a reasonable distance if you want to catch a feed
Great vid, great fish, can we get a location? Thanks
Pretty sure Lake Wendouree in Ballarat
sad the state of fishing these days, was nothing to catch 2/12 pound redfin consistently my best at age 13 was 4 1/4 pound. as kids in the 70s we just got a bucket 2 red and black spotted dickson lures, and walked a creek or the main river and get a feed as we needed it, now depi manage the glenelg river at balmoral and advertise online to go there and people from w.a even go there now., depi dragged logs to block winter high ground tracks so all the cars must go on one track, graded drains at the sand parts that never ever bog a car so the sand washes away. we towed 30ft caravans in there in very wet winters rarely got bogged. trees are cut down by campers, more areas pushed into as more camps fight for spots. its a disgrace people do not understand not being local too see the change for the worse, lucky to even get a feed their now. my family have camped there for 5 generations and uncle wally even made the top track so not to chop out the lower track in wet winters. depi netted the hell out of it in a secret program to remove bass, locals caught them dumping dead platypus and all sorts that nets kill. i worked for depi and its a disgrace now, managed by fools. this is why our fish has declined poor management yet fishermen get all the blame. unless people are told know one knows how good it was. and think wow this is good now. no it is not, i lived in ballarat that lake always had a weed issue. good to see it being managed properly. unless locals are included and are listened too then i find it doesn't work, and the blaming old generations for the state of decline is false, it was the government doing mistakes that caused the issues. good to see people going to ballarat boosting the economy. always check for worms in redfin, sometimes in a lake they get worms in the flesh, ive only seen it once in lake natimuk my birth town. dad warned me to check but thats the first time i had ever seen that, in a river never, i dont know why though. so a always check for those not knowing, ive never read anyone warning people of that issue.
What's the go with time of year for the redfin, are they biting in the cooler months? And how about the worms... Is it a problem if you cook em enough?
How big the grow, like in Europe 50+ cm or less?
Generally i have found a good redfin here is about 30 cm but i have once as a kid caught one that was 49 cm and this fish fought like a wet sock i thought i was winding in a clump of water weeds.
Biggest redfin caught in Europe is 3.75kg 58cm
We def have monsters here way bigger than in Europe, there is a pic of a 60cm one in a Ressy office somewhere here in SA.
For the record, they are not Redfin Perch but English Perch. Just call them a Redy
Hey @alancampbell8760, it appears that the redfin goes by a stack of names... European perch, also known as the common perch, redfin perch, big-scaled redfin, English perch, Euro perch, Eurasian perch, Eurasian river perch, Hatch, poor man's rockfish or in Anglophone parts of Europe, simply the perch. We commonly use 'redfin perch' in articles and videos to assist people to find them when Google searching as some will search redfin and some will search perch. Whatever you call a reddy, they are definitely fun to catch. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin
I feel a bit let down here by you blokes. You fellas are the ones supposed to be setting examples particually to the young fishers coming up. I have always been under the impression that you don't return Redfin 1/ they are an introduced species and 2/ they prey on and eat native fry and fingerlings. We have fisheries officers in our district that have been know to just about lynch blokes for putting them back in the Murray when fishing for Yella's. Yet on you tube you see blokes putting them back as well. It's very unusual to get a good reddy because they breed like flies and overpopulate the water hole in which they live there fore they haven't got much of a hope to get to a good size and apart from all of that they eat each other. I have been told for years not to throw them back but you still see a heap of blokes doing it. Could you please inform us all on what is right and what is wrong. A bewildered fisherman.
No bag or size limit for them. However it’s not compulsory to keep them. It’s all personal choice I do understand it’s preferred to keep them for your reasons but it’s not compulsory
So disheartening to see so many fishers throw them back. Wreaking havoc on our waterways.
This vid is lake wendouree, it's right in the middle of a town, and is basically 1.5m deep storm-water runoff filtered by weeds and algae. Generally speaking it's a man-made lake that exists to look pretty for the residents.
It's full of carp, tench, trout, redfin, gambusia, and is mostly fished by little children and the pompous old fly fishers who are too elderly to wade streams. It's regularly stocked with trout bred 50m from the lake by a local club.
Honestly, if you want to get angry about native fish stocks you should be complaining that they are still releasing trout into waterways to this day!
@@scod3908only thing with trout is that they don’t breed in impoundments. They are of course ferocious feeders that don’t discriminate against natives.
Nope! Lost interest before the content started. Worlds longest intro. :-(
