287 Burrendong Redfin in 4.5 hours

[poddy mullet]

The Redfin at Lake Burrendong are in a feeding frenzy at present, and seem to be slamming pretty much any offering presented in the correct fashion!
Scott Watkinson, Dallas Ridley, James and Matt Craft and I (Matt Hansen) sounded out a sumbmerged rock point in the main bassin at 6.30am.... And to put it simply, enjoyed one of the most amazing redfin sessions we have ever experienced!
Casting LCB's and a variety of small soft platics on 1/8 and 1/4 ounce jig heads.... And well.... 2 hours later and we were struggling to find room to store them!
Red fin (English Perch) are an introduced PEST, and are single handedly responsible for the annihilation millions of native fish fingerlings from the inland system every year. Throw on top of that the fact that they carry the deadly EHN virous, which is harm full to native fish, and we have on our hands a problem perhaps worse then the European Cap!
A ferocious feeder, my mates and I love nothing more then a big red fin sesion to feel that we have done our bit!
Please, if you catch a reddie, take it home fore the table or get it out of the system! Releasing this PEST is going to do nothing but stuff the future of our fishing!

Well done but I reckon they will breed quicker than you can catch them

[UndersizeBreamKing]

Would have been a bit of fun catching them though!

[Young Gun]

Non stop action by the sounds of it, good fun on light gear

Well done fellas. Funny but we used to target them in central Vic years ago.
