    Pulled up a small one jigging around Kuratau. Pretty sure DoC? organises the annual hunt on the eastern shores.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    The smaller ones taste grate , but anything over 10-15 kg is full of fat. The bullheads are good whatever size.

    Call into Doc Turangi and have a talk to them they are more than happy for you to fish for cat fish but just ask about fishing without a license etc. We caught them at Motuoapa fishing from the wharf to the left of the marina. Best bait was cheese. Hope this helps.

    I can not think of anything like it. Its nice flaky firm flesh and no bones just the ribs and spine.

    Thanks will do that. I was thinking to use worms and maggots as bait but probably not a good idea with trout around. At what depth did you find them?

    Koi is the next one on my list. Caught heaps of mirror carp-bream- and grass carp but never koi.

    Is it easy to fish the Waikato river or better to look for a private poperty?

    They are bloody awful things. I can't really understand why you'd want to catch them, but still Southern bays are your best bet.

    I've only speared them though, dunno how you'd catch them with a line.

    After the annual catfish cull spearing comp they're tipped in a big hole in the ground.
