its a bit naive to just decide you want to cull fish, especially when no one is mmonitoring how much fish are being taken out...
weather RHK is overpopulated is not really the issue, but i think the important thing is not usethe fish as a form of payment for the car gaurds :/ this will have a negative ripple effect, leading more of the locals from the township to the unprotected waters... it has enough gill nets in it alread

Hi Ryan
Sounds like you have pulled the right conservationest straw there. I am also in conservation, I run an environmental Education farm and trying to get the message to the young ones.
With regards to aliens such as bass and trout its already to late to try stop the spread of these fish but also to remember how they also have created new habitats and reserves based around this fishing industry.
Its a very hard subject as I am a fisherman to and target mostly trout and bass, a little ironic i know.
But been in conservation I have learnt to look at both sides.
I have heard stories where they want to poison rivers in the cape to remove trout and in the process remove everything else and try start again this to me is crazy its not only trout in that system and rely on it!!!!!!
Bass are easier to catch then our native species and its also a great way to get kids into conservation get them away from tvs and out there will start creating conservation awareness at a young age its one of the reasons i got into conservation myself and by getting them to see the potential in conserving our water courses as been very important which will creat better fishing for all of us!!!!
Maybe I have gone right off the subject but with regards to the culling I enjoy catching any fish weather tiny or a monster, and with bass been canabilistic they should inturn control their own numbers and produce bigger fish in the long run.
