LAKE DRAINED TO CATCH SINGLE FISH

The poisonous stonefish that forced Gold Coast council to drain Evandale lake has finally been captured.
According to News.com.au the Mayor has named it ‘Sharon’.
The council this afternoon sent out a media alert exclaiming ‘we’ve got him: Stonefish captured’.
It comes after council this week began draining Evandale Lake in a last-ditch effort to find the highly venomous stonefish.The potentially deadly fish was captured by nets at about 2.30pm.Crews conducting the netting let out cheers when they saw the fish in the nets.
Mayor Tom Tate posted on Facebook: ‘We got him! We found the stone fish! “James Cook University is coming down to take the fish and is reportedly going to “milk” the venom. This was on the fifth net run across the lowering lake,” he wrote.
“But where there is one there may be more so we are continuing ...”
The stonefish wasn't  the only fish found while netting the lake.
Dr Tate said a barracuda about a metre long was found as well as a large number of fishes such as mangrove jacks and whiting.
The council will continue to net the lake until all dangerous fish have been removed.
The lake is said to have been closed for the past five weeks after it was first spotted by a member of the public on July 18.
SeaWorld divers tried without success to find it and netting of the lake failed to catch the dangerous specie.
