What sort of fish is the farm rearing? Big mouth Bass?, catfish?

It used to be a catfish farm but the bottom dropped out the market some years ago so it’s a koi farm predominantly although they do about 7 tonnes of 20-30lb mirror carp which they ship all over.

The mint is in the koi though. It’s been fairly ignored and I’ve got my work cut out. It appears everyone’s just tossed it off over here and there’s very little stock in the sale tanks so if I can get another 800-900 new koi spawned and into rearing ponds before I go I’ll be happy.

Going to be a bit of a task!

Bit warm here!, 100% humidity and 35C

Not what a miserable northerner is used to but quite like it tbh.

That was supposed to be 800-900,000 koi!

Yup, that many

Is Pete the Teeth destined for a meet with the 256?

You could of course go for a bit of Alligator wrestling, be sure to get a mate to video it though, with sound so we can hear the screaming  ;D ;D ;D

That brings back some memories, in 1972 I had to sell my new CB750K2  to put down a deposit on a house, so to get around I bought one of those and it was great fun, apart from the time I left the side stand down after stopping at the paper shop going home off nights, the first bend could have been a disaster but luckily nothing was coming the other way.

Cheers

That happened to me in 1977. I was riding a CB175 Super sport. I wound up on the pavement scattering pedestrians at the bus stop. They were not appreciative of the experience!

Unfortunately I got turned off CD175s when one knocked me off my bicycle when I was doing my paper round at age 15. I landed on my paper bag so no serious damage to me but I can still remember the Honda sliding down the road on it's side with a lot of sparks. It was in a bit of a mess afterwards. 😣
