That is the reason the Stocked Impoundment Permit Scheme was implemented, to maintain put and take fisheries so that people could target table fish.
    I have released every fresh water fish I've caught since I took a few Bass from Sommerset many years ago. The people you survey mustn't have taste buds. I was guilty at taking a few 50+cm Bass as two spoons worth were eaten before they were binned.

    A bit like impoundment barra ..... you need the right recipe - soak the fillets in diesel & milk over night (something like that)

    I tried to eat a bass out of Somerset once too ..... only once

    does that recipe end with throwing the rest away and eating the cardboard?

    Chris
    Surface area, it's 11,000 hectares although the cap is 4,000. With the now discontinued preference ticks, Wivenhoe was second and Somerset was first in the State. We fought for years to get Wivenhoe opened to outboards, and when it was, the usage escalated substantially. Garry Fitzgerald's, years long promotion of Kayak and Canoe fishing had a massive impact on the use of Lake Wivenhoe too. It was a concerted effort by a few blokes on the local stocking group, promoting the destination. Tho stock Wivenhoe to it's maximum potential, like some smaller dams have been stocked, we'd need about $3,000,000.00 per year.
    The whole system is being revamped, with 30 odd new lakes being added and the preference ticks being dropped, next year will see a difference to the funding.

    The 2015-16 preferences were;
    Bjelke Peterson 4.88% $33,202
    Boondooma* 5.13% $28,218
    Borumba 4.15% $16,877

    Most anglers chase Golden Perch, and many specialise in Silver Perch. The 12' tinnies with 10hp motors make up the majority of SIP purchasers, and they are chasing a feed.

    As for taste, Fish wish naturally predate on Boney Bream will have a muddy taste, so Bass from Somerset, Wivenhoe and Moogerah are not all that nice, although if you trim the fat off them they are OK. Bass from Hinze, Maroon and other dams with fish having a more terrestrial diet have a much milder taste. It's the same with impoundment Barra, however, prepared properly, ie. bled at capture, chilled before filleting, all fat trimmed and properly sliced, again, they are quite presentable on the table. Any fish left in the boat at ambient temperature for more than half an hour will substantially deteriorate in eating quality.
