They do look tasty, what do you call Red Perch (what else do you call them)?

They're fresh water Red Fin perch.
Don't know what else they may call them.
Plentiful in a few lakes and creeks around the West Coast.
Arguably the best eating fresh water fish imo.

Yes they're an import from Europe via Aussie I believe. Had another good couple hrs on them this morning. Had a fella from Europe with me and he was buzzing as he chases them at home but reckons theyre not as big as we get. Caught a couple of these on soft baits.
The rest on worms.

Not quite the same as the fish in the US. They do look like Bass

Perch are a game fish under F&G rules, so you may return them and bag limits exist on some waters.

Water temp has hit 17 degrees here still murky but kings are about ...spat farms should be lively from now on

Had a great time at the alderman islands over the weekend. Managed third place in the measure and release section with a 104 on my home made popper, first cast too

Nephew got his PB kingi at 93cm and took out heaviest fish for a junior with a pb 3.8kg snapper
