Stella Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Today a couple of friends and I did a fish hunt at the Ohau River, just south of Levin. First we had a look at the Kimberley Reserve, ad place I hadn't looked at before. It looked like great habitat, but fish were very few and far between. Then tried our usual spot just below where state highway 1 passes over Ohau. Better luck there but we were tired and didn't stay for long. We caught: Many beautiful redfin bullies A few small upland bullies (including this very gravid female) A KOARO! Most unexpected. Beautiful wee chap. Eleven shrimp (these guys came home, been several years since I had shrimp!) And two torrentfish, several small eels and a lovely big Dolomedes spider - hopefully Andrew will upload some photos of them And a bangle.... 8) Lovely to get out fishing. it has been so long - finally I feel like an actual fish-geek again! :happy1: Paying for it now though, still sick and tired out from my big day.

phoenix44 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Shrimp! I want shrimp! Can I get them at Massey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I saw one shrimp at massey, once. No idea what it thought it was doing there. You will have better luck closer to the coast. We are 60km inland and I think the Ohau site is 5km in. They seem to need to go to estuaries as part of their lifecycle, not too sure on the details.

Stella Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Oh, so THAT is why you won't come spotlighting at night, worried the moths might infest it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
