Hi Guy's

So tofday after i finished work i decided i'd spend a few hour's fishing for Red Fin Perch on my local canal i was there for about 2 hours and caught 6 perch i took PIC'S !!! the smallest perch i caught was about 3" and the largest i caught was about 10"... Take a look !!!

THE VIEW !!! Beautiful isn't it !!!


Same fish on my seat tackle box


Getting bigger now!



This one was the biggest i caught!!! about 9 to 10"




Hope you enjoy these pic's,

Extra INFO !!!

I caught these fish on a 3lb main line and a 2lb hook link and a size 18 hook using a 3AAA waggler float and the bait i used was Red Maggot.
 
Dan thats a great spot to fish and a beautiful catch !
Are you going to keep those badboys in your tank? I would love to keep one. :D

I'd love to keep one mate maybe if i get another tank set up in the future maybe i'd keep one or two, i don't think they'd do too well in my tank now they prefer cold water.

Glad you enjoyed the pic's !
 
Nice catch :thumbsup:

Nice catches. They almost look like mini pbass with their coloring (not really the right body shape though). Looks like a cool fishing spot also.
 
Enjoyed the pics, are they also the fish that are considered pests in australia?
 
looks just like my local canal dan. we gotta do a mfk fishing trip. i cant wait to go fishing for perch. its been to long, i can hardly remember what to do.
