Re: Coburg Lake
Which brings us to the Carp Cull at Coburg on 13th Oct.
Has it been decided what we will do with the catch?

To find a fish
You do the miles.
Catch the fish
and earn the smiles.
Lord,allow me to catch a fish, so large that even I,when speaking of it afterwards.........May have no need to lie !!!

Re: Coburg Lake
Well, they sell them there for 3-5 bucks a kilo, so I figured they may be a market for them at the market.Blue wrote:Are you serious Bref, who would want them?
Just start yelling " fresh fish 2 dolla!" and they'll go like hotcakes... :nicefish!:

Re: Coburg Lake
So all we want is the Market to be open Sunday?

It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

Re: Coburg Lake
How about I call the council back & let them know that they will need to empty the bins on the Monday.
That should work. They were pretty helpful when I asked their permission to fish there.
So folks, what's your favourite carp bait?
Corn, dough, a piece of rag, kfc chips.....

Re: Coburg Lake
I always found when actually fishing for carp that making a dough mix and then mixing cotton wool worked well it helps keep the bait on the hook much longer :thumbsup:

Re: Coburg Lake
how do you get the wife and girlfriend to sit together to play on phone or read a book? hahaCanuckDownUnder wrote:ha! I live in Coburg but I never would have imagined that lake even held Carp...they can be fun, I wouldn't consider them a real fighting fish (relative to other species) but they can be a good go.
The plus side is, any wife/girlfriend will be happy to sit by Coburg Lake and read a book, play on their phone, etc...getting them to sit on rocks by the ocean with a strong wind blowing is not so easy.
