G'Day Wes,
Thanks for posting. :thumb

I knew there were the odd one in the Brisbane / Bremer system. That one is pretty big.

cr@p is the word!! just seen pic of a juvy in a cast net at goodna.. i am thinking of getting fisheries to do a survey below crosby to see what the numbers are.. get the hoe to slow release and maybe electro fish survey.. try and get an idea on infestation numbers

Considering the flood brisbane had in 2011, I have often wondered when these pests would show up. Bugger !!

Thanks for the pic Wes.

Cheers,Dave.

Cheers,

Graham

Post by: BG on January 30, 2013, 07:06:26 AM: Nothing confirmed but I spotted some fish in the Brisbane where the Grigors Rd crosses it not far from Toolgoolwah. Orange patches on them like pet Goldfish. This was 18 months ago. Might go back and check it out one day.
