866 Forkies collected or buried
1 Tilapia
1 Bass
1 Carpet Python
Still lots more to be collected.
Thanks to Dale, Dave, Jason, Felicity, Russell, Katie & her Dad for getting involved today, also Stretchy & Steve for dropping in to check on progress. Also thanks to Tony & Rohan from SEQWater for the support / help today.
Great to see a local land owner (Russell) get into it as well. :Clap)
AWESOME to seen an 8 year old girl get out there and help her dad fill a kayak with dead fish. She had a fun day. :Clap)
A shame alot of those who showed up to swim or kayak didnt help out when told what's happening. One couple out right said "we don't give a sh!t about fish" and paddled off thru the floating fish. Almost begged some people to help, once they saw a dead fish they jumped in their car and took off. Pretty disappointing really...... Some idiots got bogged and asked to borrow my snatch strap; told 'em they could borrow it if they picked up some fish.
We're back out there 9:00AM tomorrow and would enjoy seeing more helpers getting involved in saving this great fishery by cleaning up the river. A couple of the lads from Charltons Fishing store just phoned, they've coming to help tomorrow (thanks guys)
