I think is really disgusting that the ecosystem has gone to the crap Adelaide and the fisheries cod bring out a light fishing licence like all the other states have done why don't they because I don't get a s*** why don't know restart proper creeks dams Lakes no they only three the ones that the government owns and you're not allowed to take the fish home at all. It's really ashamed that it is so hard to find a brown trout and if you do you better not snitch and tell anybody because everybody else will ruin it for you
@Luke.Nugent196727 күн бұрын
@@SaMaNtHa.2023 interesting and valued comments When I was living in South Australia, I paid for fishing permits to finish the dams that the government opened up. So I suppose in theory that there is fishing licenses for certain dams within South Australia. In regards to Trout fishing, unfortunately South Australia is not renowned for trout fishing as the majority of South Australians are against stocking trout. I am keen to go back to South Australia at the end of the year for Christmas to see how the trout fishing (that’s if there’s any water in those creeks and rivers) is going as I now live in Darwin.

It's still strange seeing the hometown on the internet. Especially the places I grew up in, like Rapid Creek. We were often at the beach or playing in the mouth of the creek. My mother was always worried about Crocs. Although they've always been around they were rarely seen when I was that young. I feel their numbers have now increased to the point where smaller ones are being pushed out of rural habitats and into suburban habitats where they have little to no bigger competitors. Subbed and Awesome video by the way.

@@Luke.Nugent1967 I guess I was a little Naive. Years ago a friend and I were fishing out of a kayak near the yellow bridge just inside the mouth. Mounted policeman were patroling the area and came over to ask us if we were planning on being there long. They then informed us that a croc had been reported and seen in the very spot we were floating. We didn't stay very long in the end 😄 You'll barely catch me near the waters edge now. Beaches without any nearby mangroves and creeks have become my preference, but crocs even get spotted in the surf at them now too! I know there's sharks about, I've seen a pretty big one caught at Nightcliff jetty. I really don't know which is scarierier, Sharks or Crocs. Probably crocs, because they can attack on land too! Me: Shark-nado? Pft! Stay out of the water then. Croc-nado? Sh##! 😲 *Just like a horse, Crocs can gallop, and trot.* I hope that's not your top speed! They can't climb... Quickly! Get in the trees! 😂
