Tilapia in Mackay

Just reading this in the Mackay paper,

That is a real shame as those fish overrun waterways in record time - we went out to Somerset Dam (north of Brisbane) earlier in the year and from one spot we nailed 78 of them in just under 3 hours. Not allowed to keep them so they were all killed with a club over the head and left on one of the isolated islands to rot.

There is a designated bin near the ramp where you can put the Tilapia. Which part of the dam did you catch so many?

Under the power lines, head left from the ramp at the camp ground - nothing on the islands to worry about the fish rotting and I didn't see a bin anywhere near the ramp we used.

I remember catching a tilly just south of Mackay near on 20 years ago......I can't see why they are shocked.

Bit of a surprise seeing it in the 'Mercury'. Would have thought the Goose Ponds barra would've eaten them...
