As I recall, you can't even legally transport them. Putting one in a bag with water in it and moving it to a new home would probably be a nono.

but they taste good !!!!!

[cozza2000]

You can't transport list 1 noxious fish, unless I've read the information on tue fisheries website wrong, I'll give them a call today or Monday and double check, cheers corey

[Kleinz]

Actually, they are very tasty.

You will have to catch some, they are in the Murray river system, also other areas, check fisheries website.

Simply wait till nightfall then walk along the bank with a torch and net them out.

It's illegal to return them to the water. There is no bag limit you can catch as many as u like.

You are supposed to have a freshwater fishing license though.

Didn't know you could net them. They absolutely hammer lures, though. Lots of the big dams are chockers with them.

[cozza2000]

I know there's no bag it size limit cause they are a pest,
Cheers corey

Well legally you can only use a landing net, and your not supposed to use it to catch fish, but it's the only type of net thats legal on the banks of a river.

Make sure you have your FW Fishing Licence and A Rod too.

Do you really need a FW fishing licence to remove a noxious species from a river???

[domamy]

yep! pretty ridiculous isn't it

[Juls]

You need a freshwater fishing licence to do ANYTHING in freshwater.
