Thanks fishhunter.I love the avatar too.Its of no use to even try to debate with the greens or govt about implamenting bowfishing be it for feral introduced fish.They dont give a toss and there are nearly no govt measures in place to control or get rid of carp numbers.In the ACT(australian capital territory) there are no rules about native fish.Only trout.The rules all over australia (except ACT)say NO carp are to be released. Same as the introduced english perch or redfin.But in ACT there is a course fishing club which catches heaps of carp and at the end of the day lets the whole lot go.I nearly got into a blue over it when i stopped to see what was going on and i found out they let them all go.Tere are too many gutless turdsuckers here mate.They have forgotten how we got here and what it was like in the old days.
