Talking about spangled perch, i just remembered years ago when i was about 14, a mate and i were riding our bikes home from a day of fishing, We rode through some bushland on the edge of an estate to save some time, we came across what can only be described as a "puddle" , we had some prawns left over and decided to chuck a line in, what do ya know...... we caught spangled perch after spangled perch i couldn't believe it! i have no idea how they got there let alone survived!
