queensland NPD Fingerling Release 14/1/18

[rayke1938]

Following the release of 80,000 bass and 6 000 silvers in December the PRFMA released 25 000 golden perch into NPD to conclude this seasons stocking program.

As usual the fingerlings were provided and delivered by Hanwood Hatchery who are situated near Murgon.

 As the fingerlings were not due till approximately 10 am naturally we had to have a little fish prior.

The fish were a little scarce with Rick and Joy capturing 11 bass and I was a bit lonely with only one bass and a turtle before we had to head back to the ramp.

Percy has invited over 50 of his relatives to roost on the ramp of a night time so the ramp is a little on the bugle with all the pelican poo so the trickis to back your car right into the water so you do not get the poo on your shoes.

Whilst they look majestic on the water the mess they leave on the ramp is a different story.

Have to agree with the smelly ramp!! 

Need a good downpour to give it a clean and find another roosting spot for percy and his mates.

Maybe we need to tell them Ray doesn't fish there anymore

Prior to the yella release Dino and other PRFMA members were in the heat and wind releasing bass fingerlings via yak in Kurwongbah for the PRFMA who also stock Kurwongbah.

Yes I done 3 release trips after fishing for 2 hours and my legs are still complaining, wind made it hard esp in the yak.

I did it easy as I had 2 proficient deckies so all i had to do was keep the boat close to the edge in a couple of feet of water.

Thats awesome. I'm assuming you put them in the shallows to slow down the predators?

In the edge of weed beds for predator protection and food source.

Nice. I enjoyed seeing how much life there is in the grassy weedy verges.
