Sick lookin yella!

[Why-ting]

This fish didnt look to healthy when i caught it last year. The creek we were fishin was full of carp. Is there something wrong with it or just not gettin enough to eat?

[Fitzy]

I wouldnt say it was obese for a crik yella guts, but I've seen thinner.
One general rule of thumb with fish is:
A hungry fish = a healthy fish.
If it ate a lure, its good chance its ok.

If there's carp in the hole then there should be enough tucker for it.

Probably just a male fish thats more interested in other things than eatin...... ;)

fitzy..

:)where did you catch it it looks like a peter newell ploppy in its mouth , ive caught them like that down here in tenterfield and the same hole was full of carp. bdowdy :)

[Why-ting]

hey bdowdy, yeah that is a ploppy great little lures. The yella was caught bellow the wall at Splitrock dam down near tamworth. i dont do a great deal of fresh water fishin (couple of times a year) and just thought he was a bit skinny sounds like he was perfectly normal. thanks for the feed back guys Whytey.

:)yep thought it looked like a ploppy, there not making them any more, so there collecter items now, but if any one is after a few i know the bloke who makes them and he said he would do a batch up if theres a few people interested. nice fish anyway bdowdy ;) :)

[bdowdy]

:)hi guys im going fishing with the blokes son who makes the ploppys on the weekend so ill ask him what he has left but i can get you some new bibs for those paddlers , pm me on monday and ill try to work out how to get them to ya, as for the tenterfield darts they might be hard to get as trevor mc feeters who makes these lures is unwell and wont be making any more. may talk to his son in the near future and he may have some left but they could be expensive. bdowdy :) ;) ;D

Forgot my hat that day and it was cooking lucky we polished off a carton of jimmys the night before and the carton was in the car. I thought it was a good idea at the time but dont think ill market them as a must have fashion accessory for this summer :D
