Fishing Western Australia Show

[Chezzy13]

I Was watching the show this morning and they were fishing in the Estuary, and they were after a certain species..It was an introduced fish, now its become a pest so to speak, there is no bag limit, and they Dont want you to throw them back..
I cant remember the exact name, I "Think", Think they said Red tail perch, is this right, is this fish around, I may have the name wrong..??
Anyone that might know??

I use to live over in WA (5-6 yrs ago) but only fished the south coast area. Was it call a red wrass???? if not I have no idea.

Cheers, Mick.

You wouldn't want to get tipped out.. :o.
Iv fished from a canoe when I was a teen, only me in there though, with a friend, she had her own too, it was in calm waters so that made it better..:)

I find the compare Steve to be one of the most annoying people on TV the show itself is sort of OK but he is a Nitwit (I think anyway) and his WA accent can be a tad agravating as well, just my thoughts of course

[Burley_Boy]

Love the show, love the energy of the crazy bugger too.

[Greg P]

He is a great guy. Met him in Perth a couple of years ago at a mining expo.

[disorderly]

I have to admit he is a bit of a doofus,but he is passionate,they catch heaps of fish and try to convey a lot of tips and knowledge throughout the show.
Its hard not to like a bloke who obviously loves his fishing as much as he does.

cheers Scott

[Noelm]

not saying he is not a good guy, don't know about that) but as a host he is a dimwit! (in my opinion)

[bigando]

WA accent WTF is that about ?????

[Noelm]

OK I will explain, all people from WA pronounce anything spelt "gear" as gee aarr and over he aarrr for over here

[Noelm]

OH and I forgot the MOST annoying thing is wearing their sponsors hats, even in the night time segments, even sometimes backwards so as the name is in clear (clee arr) view.

[Chezzy13]

I think I could safely say I'd choose them and the show over rex Hunt anyday, maaaaan he gets on my nerves the ol goat, I hate the way he patrinises people ..;D

[Noelm]

yes, he seemed to get much worse in the later shows, and his stupid laugh almost makes you want to strangle him

[disorderly]

Steve The doofus i can handle,but I find it almost painful to watch Rex.
Yes cheezy13,I also hate his condescending attitude.
His laugh does truly suck and i still grimace when i see him break the line with the hook down the fishes throat.

cheers Scott

What about Rob Paxavanos? Now there's a deadset GOOSE!!!!!

[Chezzy13]

Yes, The laugh...::)... Arrrrrrrrrrrrrg.. One of the blokes from the Fishing Western Australia said when he caught a fish.."Thank ya Mother for the Yabbies" LOL, then he said ya gotta be careful what ya say you know, in case of copy right, Probably true too.. Rex would probably jump on it..::)
