I see all those carp caught on lures and wonder what the difference is between the carp there and here . The carp in the U.S. are rarely caught on lures . They won't hardly touch them .

carbite, was it a popular form of fishing equipment back in the 50' and 60's, dangerous ,and reacted to water.. I think it was available through the mines in Tassie at the time.

I don't think our Asian or European members would like these suggestions seeing as they adore them so much. But, as like anything, a pest is a plant or an animal out of place and these fish are well and truely out of place in Australia. All the same, would love to dynamite mum's lagoon |

We are allowed to fish trash fish like carp and gar with bows and arrows . So there is certain sense of, for want of a better word (revenge ) in that seeing as how they just take up space other fish could use to grow bigger.

Chris, I would be guessing those were Koi Carp, liberated by some well meaning but ill informed person. If a population interbreeds they slowly trend back to the original grey of the base species which is the Euro Carp. but along the way there are many varigated colours and patterns.
There was a similar population below North Pine dam, but I haven't been out there since the floods to see if they are still present. Brad |

Hey mate, might have been a different carp? Were they the ones that didn't grow much larger than 40cm and could be colours like orange, red, black, white or a mixture? Because if so not the crappy mud suckers they are talking about. Only ever caught one european carp and it put up one hell of a fight, caught about a dozen of those others (after the floods for some reason they school up, change to aa brown colour and turn from being herbivorous to carnivorous) and even when I hooked them (caught one at 42cm) they wouldn't pull line, they would just feel like you were getting bites from baby redfin. Drag them in and the only fight you got was if you wound them in quick the water pressure on their bodies would cause them to glide sideways in the water. Not much fun at all! Cheers, Joe. |

There are a few differant types of carp in our waters, called by differant names but still a carp - koi, european, roach, tench, mirrors, and more that I can't remember. Check out this photo of a koi carp pond in a ZOO on the Isle of Wight in the UK.

You can sell those Koi in the states for pretty good money . People put them in there garden fish ponds . My Uncle had a bunch in his . They started to disappear . he thought they were being caught by racoons . Never did tell him How good a trot line bait they made .

HA HA HA good one Trent. I've seen quite a bit of colouration in our waters but not like this. After a while they just breed out to that yellow colour. Are you having a problem with those silver carp in your waters - the ones we see on youtube jumping into boats?

Had a racoon as a pet once . Loved grape suckers . By the time he was a year old he got mean as a snake . Had to let him go. You got to admit though those carp come in beautiful colors.

They take any Bass lures in Tallowa Dam and they hit like bulldozers. Great fun turning their heads on Bass gear. We love it and also target them in another local dam here...see below

well there you go never thought that a carp would take a lure, fly maybe , then it wasnt so long ago that you couldnt catch a bream on a lure or was it, i agree any fish caught on a lure or fly is fine by me , just chuck the carp on the bank for the crows to eat, pearcey

At one time here in the states a company tried to sell carp in a can . They called it fresh water tuna. They pressure cooked it and seasoned it with salt , black pepper and a hint of garlic . Smelled pretty much like a tin of cat food . That is as far as I got .

"then it wasn't so long ago that you couldn't catch a bream on a lure or was it"...... thanks Dave, you make me feel young
I used to tell these young fellas on the BREAM tourney trail of catching bream on lures back in the 80's...... and they just didn't want to believe it wasn't a 'NEW' idea |

I figured it was carp once I got it out of the packet - still good. Smoked eels - yum, jellied eels - peuk. Liver, kidneys, yeah baby. As kids we used to eat ox tongue sandwiches - never any left.
