rickmarlin62 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Dams will rise and fish will feed in the shallows chasing food that is covered by water rivers will definetly become very dirty as we have so much dirt ash laying round that will wash into waterways this will shut down some of the fish till it clears you may find spots where dirty meets clear and that can fire with food n baitfish flushing out same where dirty fresh meets clean salt Edited January 16, 2020 by rickmarlin62 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carp (on the other hand) can be great fun on lightish gear. Cheers, bn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickmarlin62 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Lack of oxygen in the water 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsgocrabbing Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I've seen them do this in the shallows up against a bank on the Lachlan river below Wyangala. There was a school of several hundred fish, The water was flowing at the time and no algae blooms so plenty of oxygen. Also saw them in the pond at Rosehill races doing the same. It appeared to me it was to do with spawning. Gulping the oxygen is similar to some people recovering with a cigarette afterwards. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with rickmarlin62 in that I have seen this when the water has been almost stagnant and the Carp were gulping for air. I doubt whether they would be overly interested in anything but surviving in these circumstances, so probably not great fishing for them. bn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
