I was proud to be invited as a 'Media/Social Media' representative, from Blacktown City Council Media to the Woodcroft Lakes, carp recreational fishing competition. I therefor 'Thank' Blacktown City Council for this.
After speaking to Blacktown City Council - event organiser. Justine, it was welcoming that she had heard of our website and how important it shares good stories to our community. There were 260 online registrations received from resident from all over Blacktown Blacktown to the 5th event.
Event was to raise awareness of how notorious the carp fish could be to it's surrounding environment. The carp fishing removes dumped fish in the lake that will improve the surrounding Woodcroft Lakes and is for enthusiastic Fishing people wanting to relax and unwind. In the past, the event has brought an average of 20 caught fish per year. Today's fishing brought records in up to a hundred.
It was advised that if householders have got Carp fish at home and they want to dispose of them, rather than disposing into natural waterways, they can be disposed into the general garbage bins, provided by Council. Council will take proper steps by placing the caught fish into general landfill areas.,
There was prizes for longest fish and also the shortest fish. Amazing, maybe this could make want to enter the same competition, next year.
