Rating lures based on the accuracy to the species they protray:
Tumblr media
Okay so I've posted a few posts now on some disappointing lures so I wanted to do the cool ones this time. These would be Orangspotted Sunfish which a) are my fave centrarchids, and b) are a cool fish overall. The body coloration reflects non-breeding colors which is certainly less vibrant, but pretty accurate overall. This is a fun guy I'd love to have as a pet. 9/10.
Tumblr media
Pikes are so rare as lures I wanted to include them. The shape? Chef's kiss. The packaging gives the tail a weird kind of shape but we shouldn't judge one based on the conditions in which they are forced to live. The colors I'm less wild on. The patterning says Northern Pike but the specific colors seem to suggest Redfin Pickerel. Are you a hybrid, little dude? Let's say 7/10.
Tumblr media
These fellas are Notropis spp. shiners, likely Rainbow Shiners (N. chrosomus). From the body color to the blue gill plates, these are pretty spot on. Most Rainbows have a dark horizontal stripe along the lateral line where these have pale, but you can find both patterns in this species. 10/10 I love them.
Tumblr media
What a pretty guy! Labeled as a Bluegill, this lure is an inch or so long; with that in mind, these are adult colors, not juvenile colors. The white in there is also not accurate. But I like him! He gets an 8/10 from me.
Tumblr media
You know, though Yellow Perch lures are a dime a dozen, I think these are pretty close to the mark. The colors (especially the orange) is a little neon-y and the head is an odd white color, but I think they have a nice mix of realistic and eye catching. 7/10

STALKING GREENFISH – The Swimbait v Soft Plastic Impoundment Challenge!
By Simon Cardone
My personal cod quest began in in the year 2000 and has since taken me all over Australia fishing fast flowing gin clear waters right through to giant murky slow-moving rivers and everything in between.
Like most cod fishos that I know, the search for new locations and different methods to catch greenfish is constant, so with some of the reservoirs managed by SA Water finally being opened to the public of South Australia for recreational activities I immediately purchased a fishing permit and got out exploring.
Happy Valley
The closest reservoir just minutes from my home is Happy Valley, located about 25 minutes’ drive South from the Adelaide CBD. Prior to Happy Valley being opened for fishing in December 2021, it was decided to stock the reservoir with 1000 mature murray cod ranging from 2 to 9kgs in weight so that visiting anglers could have something to target apart from the noxious redfin perch and carp that already inhabited the impoundment.
This proved to be a great move, as the cod immediately started feeding and spread out quickly to all parts of the reservoir. The fish were attacking all manner of artificial lures and almost everybody who had a crack in the early days ticked a murray cod off their bucket list. This feeding frenzy didn’t last however as the cod started to see more lures, they become more selective when it came to what to eat.
Changing Tactics
Due to the Happy Valley cod being smaller sized fish in the 50-80cm range, I initially opted to target them with golden perch tackle, casting 50 – 70cm crankbaits. This worked a treat for the first few weeks, but then the crankbait bite shut down, partly because the bait fishos had moved in and the cod were now feasting on an almost daily diet of chicken and cheese!
This required a rethink on my part, so I decided to walk the banks and fish in places where other people weren’t. Sticking with a seven foot 3-6kg rod matched to a 2500 sized reel spooled with 15lb braid, I tied on a 20lb fluorocarbon leader and grabbed a couple of packets of four and five inch Bite Science paddle tailed plastics. Selecting the appropriate jig heads required a little bit of trial and error, but I have now opted for a ten gram standard 4/0 jig head for the five inch plastic when fishing deeper water, and a 3.5 gram 1/0 weedless jig head for the four inch plastic when fishing shallow water.
After a few fishless sessions with the crankbaits under the belt, I was quietly optimistic that the switch to a more life-like presentation might get me back on the winners list. My hunch proved to be correct, with a brace of hungry cod in my first two sessions exploring new water. A simple slow roll is the preferred retrieve method after allowing the plastic to hit the bottom initially.
Enter the Swimbait
Observation of the immediate environment will always be a key to fishing success, whether on the day or in the future. While the soft plastics were still nailing cod after a few months of fishing, I had noticed a pattern where most of the hits and hook-ups were occurring in a metre or less of water over either rocky bottom or on flats with reeds and weed beds.
For my next outing I decided to leave the plastics at home and cast swimbaits exclusively. I tied on a 190mm Shimano Arma Joint to my 40lb fluorocarbon leader on my swimbait setup and it has stayed there ever since! Again, success was immediate, if not stunning! The short hour-long session yielded five fish from six hook-ups, including three in as many casts. My son also got his first cod off the top on a surface paddler during our brief mission. Again, a simple slow roll is the best retrieve for this lure type – the action is so lifelike.
Of course, I had to try and replicate the results the following week, and yes, the swimbait delivered – it was no fluke. I encouraged a mate who had been struggling to get a fish for a while to give the swimbait a crack and his first session out managed to land seven cod from ten hook-ups – champagne fishing in anyone’s book!
The Verdict
So which lure is best? There was only one way to find out. I spent the last six months of the year fishing with both lure types during all my sessions at the ressie. I have fished at various times of the day in various locations and in all types of weather. And the fish tally is about 50/50 after all this time. Some days both lures have success, on others it’s one or the other, but the numbers don’t lie!
Overall, the soft plastic is the more versatile of the two lures, given you can rig it differently to suit the water depth and surrounding structure. So, on days when the fish are sitting out a little deeper it is a clear winner. As mentioned earlier, the lighter spin outfit used to throw the soft plastic gives the cod a chance to give an honest account of itself as a hard-hitting sportfish – the drag peeling shallow water runs are fantastic!
The most exciting lure in terms of the strike and crunch factor, is the swimbait. Nine out of ten strikes are off the surface – these fish are hell bent on killing the larger prey item and are not messing around. After the initial chaos, generally the fish I have encountered are relatively easy to subdue on the swimbait setup I run. On some days I have had cod follow the lure all the way to my feet, including two cod that hit each other as they both tried to slam the lure!
Go Your Own Way
With both land based and fishing from canoe or kayak being permitted at the reservoirs here in South Australia, fishing with soft plastics and swimbaits are methods that every angler should have up their sleeve for those times when trolling a deep diver or casting a crankbait or spinnerbait isn’t creating any interest from the resident cod – this has been accepted practice by most switched-on cod fishos in the eastern impoundments for some time now.
I highly encourage you to go out and explore your local impoundment either for the first time or with some of the methods I have described – especially with many of the rivers and creeks across the Murray-Darling basin in flood at the time of writing - you might be pleasantly surprised with the results.
Finally good times ahead for South Australian freshwater fishos.

hey i read your tags and was just about to reply. I am a literature major and i don't mind reading long reports but also if you don't wanna share for privacy reasons that's completely understandable too <3 i hope the presentation goes well, all the best 💖
LMAO sorry, I was scrolling down and Idk how tf I deleted it, I just noticed now that you mentioned it. And don't worry, more than privacy issues, it's because of the language. The report is in spanish and since I'm majoring in veterinary medicine, it's full of words and terms that may not be too familiar.
Anyways, to summarize, I was given three diseases that cause necrosis and I had to follow up a number of cases of said diseases:
-Cutaneous vasculitis in dogs and cats (specifically speaking of vasculitis that develops in the pinna (the visible portion of the outer ear): pinnal vasculitis).
-Epizootic haematopoietic necrosis virus or EHNV, an infectious disease that affects fish (it appears to affect only rainbow trouts and redfin perchs in the cases that have appeared near my country. In other parts of the world it can affect a large variety of other fish) and causes necrosis in the liver, spleen and haematopoietic tissue of the kidneys.
-Necrotizing fasciitis involving severe systemic toxicity (necrotizing fasciitis type II or streptococcal necrotizing fasciitis), which is a very rare but lethal bacterial infection that affects the skin and soft tissues.
For the first one, I had to treat 5 patients with different stages of necrosis (some had to get part of their ears removed (partial pinnectomy) to prevent the necrotic tissue to affect other areas), and write down the treatment I gave for 2 months and give a report on the outcome. Fortunately, the 5 doggies are now okay, even if part of their ears had to be amputated.
For the second one, I had to go to a fish farm where they had similar cases to EHNV a few years ago, to talk to the person in charge of those cases and collect data of, again, treatment and the results of it
Finally, for the third one, I had to do a thorough investigation on cases about necrotizing fasciitis since, fortunately, imo, is a very uncommon disease. Most of the cases could end up in death but recently, the mortality rate has decreased a lil bit since the diagnosis it's more efficient now. Surgery to remove the necrotic soft tissue is also more advanced (at least, where I am from and currently live, such surgeries where nothing more than a fool's dream to perform them in animals) and we're more accurate with the antibiotics we prescribe.
That's about it, a whole ass book if you ask me, but pretty important since we have to add this information to our (my classmates and mine's) medical knowledge and experience. This is the result of a whole semester's work 💀 and it was kinda cool seeing and visiting a fish farm for the first time.
Hope you have fun reading all this lol, if you have any question, feel free to ask me and thanks for reading until the end 💕

Crossed Paws, Book 1: Rising
The Characters of Crossed Paws
CREEKCLAN
Territory: a small, freshwater creek and its surrounding marshlands at the edge of the river
Prey: River lamprey, European eels, barbels, bitterlings, bleaks, roaches, chubs, dace, minnow, gudgeons, rudds, tench, redfin perch, zanders, ruffes, Wel's catfish, burbots, curlews, water voles, spoon-billed sandpipers, black-tailed godwits, Madagascar pochards, mallards, citrine wagtail, snipe, moorhens, water shrews
Dangers: Flooding, unstable ground, landslides, northern pikes, European conger eel, cranes, adders, herons, egrets, geese, swans, northern harriers, osprey, beavers, mink, river otters
Camp location: the remnants of an ancient twoleg cave dug into the rocks
Current High Saint and Herald: Dabblestar and Duckthorn
CreekClan traces its lineage back to the legendary Clan of Agile Swimming, a group renowned for their mastery of water and the unique environment of their marshy territory. Over time, CreekClan has evolved into a distinct and influential presence among the four Clans, standing out as the only Clan to successfully forge alliances with each of the other Clans. This rare achievement speaks volumes about CreekClan's role in the broader community, where they serve as a crucial bridge between the often competitive and territorial groups. Their ability to maintain these alliances is a testament to the diplomatic skills of their leaders and the naturally empathetic and caring disposition of CreekClan cats.
The strength of CreekClan's alliances is also supported by their strategic advantage: an abundant and consistent supply of prey. The rich waters and marshlands of their territory provide an endless bounty, enabling CreekClan to trade prey for other resources that they may lack. This trading network not only fosters goodwill and cooperation among the Clans but also ensures that CreekClan remains well-supplied and connected. Whether it is their natural inclination toward empathy or their wise use of resources, CreekClan’s unique position as the central ally among the Clans underscores their importance and influence within the forest.

The Popular Fishing Destinations in Australia and the Types of Fish You Can Find There
Tumblr media
Australia is world renowned for the incredible fishing it offers. Boasting thousands of kilometres of fertile coastline, the continent is unmatched in the abundance and variety of fish species it has. As if coastal wonderlands weren’t enough, it possesses countless lakes and rivers teeming with fish, as well. With more than 5,000 fish species to choose from, and a myriad of spectacular locations to see, picking your spot can be a little daunting. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back. Here is a list of the most well-known fishing spots in Australia and what fish species you can catch there:
The Top End, Northern Territory
Encompassing Darwin and Kakadu National Park, the tropical northernmost tip of the Northern Territory or “Top End,” as it’s called, is famous for some of the best barramundi fishing in Australia. The best fishing spots in the Top End include the Daly River, the Mary River at Shady Camp, and the Adelaide River. In World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park, the South and East Alligator River are top spots to fish by boat. However, beware of saltwater crocodiles.
Canberra
In addition to discovering the political centre of the country, you’ll also find some amazing lakes in Canberra that are perfect for a day of fishing in your centre console aluminium boat. If you’re looking for cod, redfin or golden perch, you might get lucky.
Tasmania
The island off the coast of Victoria boasts some of the best saltwater and freshwater fish in Australia. Most of the lakes and other freshwater sources hold trout, and you can find many saltwater species off the coast.
Mallacoota, Victoria
Mallacoota is a small town located in the eastern region of Victoria. Off the coast, you can find salmon and gummy sharks, as well as snapper, kingfish and flathead. In addition to the fish, Mallacoota proves a relaxing visit for tourists, with attractions like its wilderness coast.
Broome, Western Australia
The remote pearling town of Broome in Western Australia offers a little bit of everything for avid anglers. You can snag a barramundi in the creeks, bays, and rivers, and fish for other species like black-spotted croaker, cod, jacks, and threadfin salmon. Beach anglers should head to Cable Beach. Here, you can cast along the gutters or from the craggy headlands to catch dart and blue-spotted trevally. Threadfin salmon and Northern bluefin tuna can be found close to shore, too.
Cairns, Queensland
If it’s your dream to catch a huge black marlin, as well as just about any other Australian gamefish species you can name, this is the place to come with your Yellowfin boat that is built to house gamefish. The area from Cairns northwards along the Great Barrier Reef, is known as the black marlin capital of the world. The tropical waters adjacent to the reef and along the continental shelf are incredibly rich in baitfish and plankton and also attract species such as yellowfin tuna, Spanish mackerel, mahi-mahi (dorado), barracuda, trevally, wahoo, and sailfish. Trolling and spearfishing are some of the most popular types of fishing you can do here.

I see no reason for why frozen whitefish wouldn't work! Or like, almost any other fish you have access to. I just prefer whitefish personally but I've also used pike, and redfin perch, my mom sometimes makes it with zander, to mention a few. Almost anything you can get decent sized fish meat bits out of should work
#4 for the Not US ask game :cutepog:
favourite dish specific for your country?
i am very divided between fish soup/fish stew/what the fuck ever - especially when made with smoked whitefish, i know salmon is kinda considered the. best? default? fish for it but i'm a sucker for whitefish
Tumblr media
(x)
's just fish, potatoes and an assortment of vegetables and spices thrown into a pot and it's so good
and hirvikäristys (name could be translated to "fried elk" but that is Incorrect. the elk meat is in fact slow cooked for hours)
Tumblr media
(x)
i don't much care for the lingonberries often served with hirvikäristys tho,, a few times i've had it with rowanberry jam and i quite liked that

We’ve been big on fishing lately, we’ve always been keen but my partner recently finished work and now we have all the time in the world, so every nice day we’ve been getting up at 5am to head out to the local reservoir.
Tumblr media
For these fancy fellas. Redfin Perch are an introduced species here in Aus which means they have no bag limit, no size limit, and are recommended not to be thrown back. They’re aggressive fish that hunt by ‘beating’ an area which means they sit in schools of large numbers and disturb mud and vegetation to send worms and food flying. So moving hooks works better, making it a really engaging way to fish rather than just ‘throw out line and pray.’ We’ve just been using night crawler worms and reeling them in slowly and we caught eight fish in an hour.
Tumblr media
We’ll be taking them straight home to dunk in tempura and deep fry the little guys.

“Annette Miller stands at her house, a three-bedroom, two-story structure built at the turn of the last century that her grandparents purchased in 1964.
From this perch, Miller has watched as the block—and the entire west side of Oakland—has changed over the decades. She can disentangle its history like an evolutionary biologist. During the Great Recession, houses were bought and lost to banks at some of the highest foreclosure rates in the entire Bay Area. Then those houses were scooped up by real estate men who paced the sidewalks and rarely smiled. Buildings were emptied out, murals painted over. Fences went up. Rent went up—by 71.5% over the last five years. Way back in 2001, SFGate called the neighborhood “deliciously attractive” because its “poverty and misfortune preserved a rare sort of purity and beauty,” as if it were a forbidden, primitive fruit. Later, the real estate men would try to take a bite out of Miller, too.
Tumblr media
“The story of Miller’s block is the story of an Oakland in upheaval. Private money has crept ever outward from the city’s prosperous hills, flooding lowland neighborhoods that had long been neglected and uprooting the very people who had survived that neglect. In less than a decade, the white population in Miller’s neighborhood has more than doubled, from 14 to 33 percent, while the black population has dropped from 50 to 39 percent. Yet while rents and home prices have skyrocketed, poverty has endured: Nearly 43 percent of the neighborhood’s residents remain below the poverty line, including 58 percent of its children.”
Tumblr media
HEZEKIAH ALLEN, 70 722 30th St. Here from 2005 to 2017; moved to Fruitvale in August 2017
The notice from the landlord arrived on Hezekiah Allen’s door on August 31, 2016. “We appreciate your residency at 722 30th Street over the past few years,” it began, politely enough. There was a problem, however. The landlord wasn’t receiving a “fair return” on his investment, and the solution, documented by an inscrutable spreadsheet that cited capitalization rates of other Oakland properties, was to raise Allen’s monthly rent from $856.98 to $2,183.81. “The new rent,” the landlord wrote, “is still about 10% below the market value.”
TANYA RETHERFORD, 29 722 30th St. Here since February 2018 
Last August, Retherford and a group of fellow artists and designers who call themselves 30 West signed a five-year lease on a vacant industrial building on the corner of 30th and West Streets. A month earlier, the collective had been evicted from another West Oakland warehouse, itself a casualty of the citywide crackdown in the wake of the 2016 Ghost Ship fire. On 30th Street they hoped to create a model for future artist collectives by legally converting the building into seven art studios and 11 bedrooms.
While she waits for the warehouse to open, Retherford has become the block’s newest resident. In January, she spotted an ad on Craigslist for the top floor of a duplex across the street from the future home of her collective. “Completely Re-Done,” it said. “GORGEOUS ARCHITECTURE!!” A month later, she moved in. It was Hezekiah Allen’s old unit. The rent was $3,095.
Tumblr media
“It wasn’t until the early 2000s that Miller noticed the neighborhood starting to whiten. In 2005, her friend Anthony sold his two homes across the street for $655,000 and moved to Vallejo. The properties were flipped and sold a year later for $840,000. Then came the implosion of the mortgage market. The bank repossessed the buildings, which were then bought for the bargain-basement price of $125,000 in 2009 by a Piedmont real estate investor named Justin Wallway. Miller didn’t realize it at the time, but that was a tipping point. As the Great Recession unfolded, investors on the block bought up more foreclosed buildings, betting on a recovery: a four-unit building for $255,000 in 2011, a duplex for $180,000 in 2012. In the last decade, at least half of the buildings on the block have been sold, and in the last several years, prices have rebounded, then soared. In 2015, a single-family home sold for $510,000. Last year, a duplex on the corner went for $800,000. The most recent sale, last October, was of a single-family house that went for $825,000. Redfin now estimates the house to be worth $954,000. It won’t be long before the block has a million-dollar home. The rest of the neighborhood has followed the same path. According to estimates by Trulia, the average home price in Hoover-Foster jumped by 260 percent over the past five years—from $270,000 to more than $700,000—more than double the rate of Oakland overall.”

Week 7/7.2: Illustrative research and development.
I did some more work into how I could portray this image of freshwater health in New Zealand while still staying connected to the cultural and spiritual beliefs of Te mana o te Wai. I thought a great start to this could be depicting some of our  New Zealand freshwater fish in fun, colourful ways with illustrations. This provides a direct tie to New Zealand freshwater and supports the idea of water providing life, power, and influence over our sacred nature in Aotearoa (showing interesting and vivid water life).
Here is some of my chosen fish and some basic starting illustrations:
My first choice was the brown trout. The brown trout can be found in most New Zealand waters excepting the very north of the North Island. Brown trout live wherever cool water habitats exist. They vary considerably in body colouration and markings depending on their habitat. I thought this could be an interesting concept as the wide variation in colouring and appearances gives me some creative freedom over how I depict them! 
Some examples of river resident brown trout which are generally darker with brown or black spots, often surrounded by a pale halo.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I developed all of the following sketches in illustrator and made a vector illustrations based off the drawings. I started iterating different colour schemes and combinations that could possible fit into my collateral zine, perhaps as part of the poster side, it could appear as a pattern representing the life in NZs native waterways. Within the zine itself I intend to have the fish appear as a reoccuring theme.
Very basic intial sketch:

I developed all of the following sketches in illustrator and made a vector illustration based off this drawing. I started iterating different colour schemes and combinations that could possible fit into my collateral zine, perhaps as part of the poster side, it could appear as a pattern representing the life in NZs native waterways. 
A pattern was created from the brown trout sketch that represents a wave pattern with the fish that I thought could be a fun way to use this illustration that adheres to the water theme and could be used in panels of the zine.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Next was perch. Although they are present throughout New Zealand they are found only in small pockets from Northland down to Southland. They are found from Auckland to the Waikato, and in quite a few waterways in the lower North Island.  You are much more likely to encounter them in Southland and many parts of Otago. The lower Clutha River is known for its population of large perch!
Here are some images of the redfin perch:

Another option for now would be the kokopu. Kokopu, also known as whitebait, are a native freshwater species in New Zealand. These fish have also been effected by NZs freshwater crisis. There has been a decline and degradation of favored habitats, especially as a result of swamp and wetland drainage, and the altering of channels of lowland streams
