QLD vs. NSW

[bo_sawyer]

This topic is argued quite often, and the answer always seems to lean towards NSW. So i thought i'd get the Queenslanders opinions on the matter instead of the blues.

[Quinny69]

Barra, Sooties, Toga where is the argument? As far as Bass, Goldens and Bloody Silvers We got more and threre BIGGER............Matt Q

[bo_sawyer]

hey Quinny,
thanx mate, exactly what i wanted to hear. Queensland has a lot more freshwater species than the blues, and we do have(around 6 i think) barra records(in different weight divisions)

How can you say to anyone that we have better than Barra, soooty's jungle perch, toga and more. WE also get the species that the blues rave about anyway, but honestly how can you compare to a Queenslander freshwater fisherman

[spinna]

yeah yeah you may have barra ,sotties,and toga butthey have nothin on the great murrycod 8) well thats all i have to say.


cheers spinna 8)

HAHAHA!!
very true Harrya, and i'd rather a 20kg barra than a 20kg Cod any day!!!And a big toga on fly would be just as good. Not to mention those Beaut' lil' Jungle Perch. The Blues obviously haven't fished our great waters.

Qld by a country mile!!

Chuck in 'Freedom of Choice' to fish the rivers for free , and/or pay $35 for the SIP (110% support the concept) ,we win hands down!!

And after watching last night's Basketball score 40-24, I mean, NRL game, they may be able to score ,but they can't defend............

Let's go , B-R-O-N-C-O !!

NSW,

Bass, Murray Cod, Silver Perch, Yellowbelly, Macquarie Perch, Rainbow Trout,Brown Trout, Salmon, Mangrove Jack, Catfish & the list goes on & on & on with a number of introduced species aswell yep there is a lot in NSW unfortunately QLD has a bigger variety of natives( which is my passion ). But in NSW we have some cooler water fish which provide plenty of sport of a different ilk.
It's great fishing freshwater in both states. I travel around with work alot & get to fish all over Australia. the worst state for freshwater fishing is W.A. followed by Victoria, SA, Tasmania. There is hardly a struck match between QLD & NSW. But really QLD should be cut in 2, South East QLD & the rest of QLD. Let's face it you can't seriously barramundi fish with in an hour or 2 of a top bass spot & vica versa.
I'll put it this way I had the choice of moving to Sth.East QLD with work. I chose not to for fishing reasons both for salt & freshwater, nut when I come with work or for holidays I always pack a rod.

There aint much between the states except you guys have that annoying banded grunter which annoys the hell out of me.

SA ahead of WA and Vic? I'd rate SA as the worst of the freshwater states. All they have is the ass end of the Murray and a couple of tiny trout streams. SW of WA has a few nice little trout rivers, while the north has barra. The Vics have some good trout waters, a few nice dams and some natives. Tas has great trout waters.

Qld has all the southern species except trout and all the northern species. Well actually we do have trout, but its not worth mentioning. Wins hands down. SEQ has great bass/yellow impoundments too, something like 12+ good impoundments within 150kms of Brisbane. Plenty of cod stocked in southern Qld too. Just a little further north and you get bass and barra in the same dam! I'm just waiting for jacks to hit the SEQ impoundments, its going to be revolutionary.

[bassmansrc]

Only going on my experiences. I have caught more fish with less effort in SA than in Vic & WA. WA has some trout & redfin that's about it, for freshwater fishing WA sucks.
SA & Vic arte close but the fishig pressure in Vic is much mor severe & I have found cod & trout easier to catch in SA.
