It was a British TV show. Perhaps the head is of a Nile perch which also grow big. Britain controlled quite a number of African countries in the past.

I looked at Nile Perch, Big Grouper and a few others. I'd be 99% sure it's a cod... :-)

Re: What does 'Murray Cod' mean to you?

I don't know how many of you remember "Steptoe and Son", but I was always intrigued by the stuffed fish-head that was mounted on the wall of their living-room. A while ago I did a bit of analysis of various screen-shots (the best of which I can't seem to find now) and came to the conclusion that it'...

Making a rod-tube for long-distance / overseas travel?

Hi Guys, Just looking for opinions on choices for a rode-tube that would be suitable for taking on a plane, chucking about in the bush, etc. Would need to be about 5ft long and would need to hold about three rods (all 2-piece). I'm thinking about 100mm PVC pipe for the body, with one end sealed with...

Re: Landbased Game Fishing Victoria

Unfortunate LBG and Victoria are two things that don't really go together... There's the very remote chance of catching a kingie from the rocks and infinitely more remote chance of landing a tuna. To be brutally honest, fishing in Victoria sucks compared to most other states - particularly QLD, Nort...

What's happened to the lights at the mouth of the Patto?

Hi fellas,

I've just noticed that the two beacons/lights on ploes at the mount of the Patterson River appear to have gone from the ends of the rock-walls.

Does anyone know why? Have they been relocated?

Cheers,

Mike.

Re: Private health insurance

I'm afraid I have to disagree with you there, based on not only my family and own personal experience, but also on close friends and their relatives. Whenever I've been to hospital (more than a dozen times) with both my kids, myself and my wife, we've always had great care and the medical staff are ...
