SRC Member ydolphin Posted December 13, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted December 13, 2014 Wonder if any bros are anglers that bring home their catch to keep as pets? Moi has a whole tank of them, consisting of snappers, grunters, target fish, mullets and a sergeant major damsel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member RayL Posted December 13, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted December 13, 2014 Lol I cant catch fish for a living. Anyway my friend dad catches freshwater stingray regularly and most of them are sold. He keeps a couple as pet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member ydolphin Posted December 13, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted December 13, 2014 Those stingrays are quite prolific in certain parts of our reservoirs as I believe they are breeding quite well .. Just not too sure how long they survive though as many are gut hooked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiggie Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 They should not be gut hook if the angler used circle hooks.. Quote Stairway to Heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member ydolphin Posted December 14, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted December 14, 2014 True on circle hooks but sadly believe a number of anglers are still using traditional hooks to fish them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momopeach Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Labrador park, plenty of small fishes (but mostly wrasse).. might want to avoid using a sinker, just use a float, small drop shot and a hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
