lukelee Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Hello, I am new here. Just wondering is there any freshwater river or damp near moorebank? So I can catch some carp or eel? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike. Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Mate i've seen some large carp in cabramatta creek, its quite deep in there and the water runs slow, so seems like a good place to start? Never caught any, as im usually fishing with lures. You might get the odd one, but not sure if they are there in numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukelee Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks Mike: I will go for a try. Btw, worms in my worm bin are good bait?

Mike. Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yes, general garden worms will work, or corn. We fish for carp in lake Burrinjuck using these baits. good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ving Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) upper georges river from liverpool to campbelltown is my haunt. stacks of massive carp there... bread for bait is best. i use chook pelets for berley. I refuse to spend up big on bait for them. Edited July 5, 2013 by ving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batfishing Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Years ago, we used to fish the causeway underneath the Liverpool bridge, after heavy rain whilst the floods are running. Carp and Bass would go over, then sit close trying to get back to the fresh Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanfly Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Theres a large pond behind the swimming pool / Woolworths at Egalevale / Campbelltown that holds large carp. have seen fish pulled out of there well over 5 kilos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoodge6 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Not sure that eagle vale pond is allowed to be fished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ving Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 none of the ponds are allowed to be fished in the campbelltown area. council hands out fines... however once a year council organises a catch a carp competition in one of its many lakes. this year it was eagle vale. stacks of fish were caught, the largest was about 64cm if i remember correctly. this was back in april.

SargeRX8 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Man you guys make carp sound so easy to find and catch. I went out today tried the upper reaches of parramatta river for donuts. If carp are there in plagues, where were they today lol. I saw one kick its tail up on the other side of the shore and that was it. I really wanna get into them. I read that there are a crap ton in centennial park. Quick google search suggests you can't fish that pond there and if you want to, its gonna cost you $750 to do it legally. What the hell. They want to get rid of these fish. On the website it says carp are pests, ruining the environment, killing off native fish, we need them gone, then on the next line ILLEGAL TO FISH UNLESS YOU PAY $750 of your own money to clean OUR water ways. Damnit if you want me to get rid of the fish for you, don't charge me $750. Kiss my ass, for $750 the carp can live and thrive there for all I care.

LungFai Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I think that 750 is for cooperates. You can volunteer with Grass Roots who are the fishing crew that do the carp clean up. http://www.yourparklands.org.au/volunteers/carp_management_public Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
