Hello..I did carp fishing when I was 9 year old. I miss to catch a few carps now. Is there any carp in that lake?
Also I live in City, is there any good spot for carp fishing that is closer to City?
I do land-based fishing.
Thank You!

i live 5 mins from the lake , we eat the fish

I was at the lakes area today and saw the warning signs about not eating the fish .... :eeek:

Years ago they put up shark warning signs and even then it was rumoured to be about a pollution scare more than shark danger.

Aussie-revhead, what i do is try and eat 250 grams of fish from the river each month , i mainly eat the bream

Thanks to those that have pointed out the offending post. Action has been taken.

A note to all members. Please refrain from posting your illegal exploits on an open public forum.

[hoodlum]

The post was I guess outside giudelines
And I would agree with the actions taken.

But mitch seems like a very young guy, And at his age I would of been fishing any&everywhere.
So keep your chin up mitch, Just remember that your actions may affect us fishos on a broader scale sometimes, Thats why the Forum has Moderators to police our comments so some Gov't Authority dosen't shut us down. But I for one will put it down for this time as a naive cheeky gesture

Quinnie, no you dont need one until you are 18

[quintrex101]

:headbang:
thanks

[storms72]

But still quinnie you do need to obey the same rules as the rest of us, you just don't yet have to pay for the privelage of holding a lisence to fish....

Mitch....all is good mate, we all make mistakes and all of us except for quinnie(who is still very young) have mucked around and gotten into a little strife (sometimes a lot of strife) years ago like you are now when we were young ...

BTW Quinnie I didn't realise your name was mitch:rolling laughter: :rolling laughter: :rolling laughter:

Hi, I've grown up around the area too. I used to fish at the storm water pipes & along the narrower part of the river there rather than in the open lake/beach areas when I was younger with my dad (Chipping Norton park area near the old house & nearby the kiosk).

The lake is a bream haven & even down towards East Hills you can get bream there too but I haven't fished there for many years. I wouldn't fish near the Flower Power boat ramp because there's just too many snags.

With all the rain we've had I haven't seen any notices about not fishing the lake but as I mentioned I haven't fished it in many years. Liverpool council had warned about toxins from up river being washed down after heavy rains in the past but I used to see people trying to fish at the weir opposite Liverpool train station.

When I was younger & fished the area I used to cast nearby the floating debris & that was a sure catch with bream trailing for a feed. Blood worms are good & you can also collect small crabs amongst rocks for bait. Because the water is murky you could try chicken gut.

I remember one time a friend of ours many years ago reeled in a big mullet. This one was a fighter & he'd gotten loose once before. When it was pulled up there was a few hooks still in its mouth & some had rusted.

If you go to the boat jetty out nearby the old house, I used to remember catching loads of this smaller fish with I think bread or blood worms right under it. There were heaps of them & fun for the kids I guess.

I've fished the creek for carp too opposite Canley Vale station before they cleaned the dense grass around there. There were some pretty big carp in there & I'm sure there's still. We caught them for fun & since the water was dirty it isn't recommended to eat them. You can also catch sight of poddys swimming by in that creek too.
