Hi mate, good to see you are still at it, i see that SPOT under the bridge for mullet, has changed it's course with that last lot of rain. Do you catch any Carp around with the Tilapia ?? Cheers Chris.
Yeah I tend to think people targeting them as food would be a better control of their numbers then what fisheries are currently doing. Which is nothing 🤔
@@ScaleUpadventures Many invasive problems here lol and they fight quite hard, I find them more fun to catch than the natives..Australia has some very cool native fish though like the Barramundi that I bet are pretty darn fun to catch as well, didnt even know you guys had the same problem with tilapia though lol
@dragonthebetta7193 Barra are amazing fun to catch. I am holding one up on the channels page logo. Murray Cod are also a great native fish. I've got a couple of vids on my channel of me catching some on spinner baits. Yeah Tilapia are a problem more in Queensland further south it gets too cold for them.
@@ScaleUpadventures ahh that’s awesome I didn’t notice it was a barra lol congrats on that nice one, and Murray cod look crazy fun to catch, big fish too from the images on google..I’ll certainly check those vids out, and out here it’s kind of similar, they’re really only a problem in my state and Texas due to the warm climate although they can survive pretty North from there, pretty hardy fish they are, just not the best fighters in the world lol
Thanks so much. Now that you told us what you use, I'll tell you what works in So Cal: redworms for Tilapia. People would pay us for the redworms we brought because they could not catch anything with the bait they were using. Redworms, honestly.
Unfortunately, in Queensland. you are not allowed to transport them, so you can not take them home with you. I think the government is worried about people spreading them into other waterways to be caught and used for food
In Australia they cause problems with native fish habitat and competing with them. They don't want people eating them because they fear people would them spread them into other waterways.
Yeah they taste good. Their dumb reasoning for not eating them can get jammed I think. Ide never spread them, nor would any decent fisherman. Marine biologists are not psychologists.
@TarrickChristensen I tend to agree mate. The places I catch them I probably wouldn't want to watch them but hopefully in the near future they relax the laws a bit. They have spread pretty much everywhere with the floods we have had last couple of years. Getting fisherman out targeting them will help control their numbers.
Sorry mate, this spot was shown to me by someone else so wouldn't be right to give it away. But honestly any pond or creek around the Brisbane area is full of these fish. A lot of the time, you can just see them swimming around.
@@ScaleUpadventureswouldn’t it be good to disclose the spot to get rid of the tilapia instead of letting heaps of them breed? Not a criticism just a thought
Crazy you saying the tilapia you caught are small and you throw them away. That is definitely big and in many countries we eat them just like normal fish, they are way tastier than other fish from the US.
I have tried heaps with bread and can’t entice them, though I have heard they fire up more in summer so I’m looking forward to trying more with bread soon.
Hi mate, good to see you are still at it, i see that SPOT under the bridge for mullet, has changed it's course with that last lot of rain.
Do you catch any Carp around with the Tilapia ??
Cheers Chris.
Yeah mate still enjoying it and good to share . I haven't seen or caught any carp on there as yet.
Good work,we go a tilapia catch at Cudgen lake this weekend nth NSW 😊it was good to get a few hints .cheers Big Trev
Ahhh nice one mate. They are really good eating and you can keep them in nsw I believe?
wish we could keep them here in SEQ. Its crazy we cant
Yeah I tend to think people targeting them as food would be a better control of their numbers then what fisheries are currently doing. Which is nothing 🤔
Yeah, it shits me too. They're a nice eating fish and you're not allowed to eat them. It's stupid.
@@Richard-ug4el they are amazing I ate some in Vietnam once.
@@ScaleUpadventuresif you eat them at the site of capture they can be eaten ( at least I believe )
If u're going for tilapias, worms are ur best bet! They taste great too!
No they don't! Worms taste terrible.
I've never personally tried them haha
@@ScaleUpadventures Maybe you should? See what all the fuss is about?
🤮
🤮
Great content brother, got yourself a new subscriber.. we have a similar problem with them in Florida, USA lol
Thanks mate. You guys also have some other pretty cool invasive fish like snake head and peacock bass.. I bet they are great fun to catch.

Yeah they definitely love worms . I was just using earthworms dugg out of my garden that seemed to work great
@@ScaleUpadventures Thanks for your reply. Subscribed!
Out of curiosity, do you not eat it after killing it? In our country, tilapia is a staple fish as food.
Unfortunately, in Queensland. you are not allowed to transport them, so you can not take them home with you. I think the government is worried about people spreading them into other waterways to be caught and used for food
I see. Thanks for that explanation. So do you just lay it on the ground or Queensland have a policy on how you should properly dispose of it?
@stephendeochua3961 you have to dispose of them in a bag and then in a local bin or bury them of yoy happen to have a shovel
You can use the intestine of a tilapia as bait
Realy never knew that.
Tilapia taste good, so I don't see them as being a problem.
In Australia they cause problems with native fish habitat and competing with them. They don't want people eating them because they fear people would them spread them into other waterways.
@@ScaleUpadventures That makes sense.

Where the spot

I don’t understand 😢😢😢

I knownits crazy but they are listed as a noxious species here and can not be taken home, moved or released
@@ScaleUpadventures agree 100%
Bread is the best
Definitely wasn't on this trip. Tried it they wouldn't go near it. Soon as I tried worms I caught like 4 or 5 in an hour
@@ScaleUpadventures with bread I caught 30 yesterday
@Theebasssboyss that's awesome 👌
I have tried heaps with bread and can’t entice them, though I have heard they fire up more in summer so I’m looking forward to trying more with bread soon.
@@Bigrig90 around 9am-3pm they are more active and hungry
You can’t release, But why not eat them?
Answers this question multiple times already. They don't want people to spread them into other waterways so they can catch them for food
Why can’t you keep it 😮😮😮
Declared a noxious species in Queensland not to be released or transported
Well catch something 😅😅😅
Duuude eat himmmm
Hahaha 😂
@ It really doesn’t make any difference if you cut out the filets before disposing it.
I wouldn't eat anything out of this pond. Maybe out of some cleaner water one day
@ Maaaan what i always hear americans say stuff like that. What’s wrong with the pond dude.
