Nicely done Mego!
Nice mate, do you bleed them ??
It's a must on a gummy shark, to be bleed straight away. I have also found that eating fresh gummy shark is as good as freezing it when I fillet it and then eat it. I don't know taste different to me.Quote:

One of the fish on my must catch list. Nice haul Mego.
Its a must on all sharks and salmon over 1.5kg's IMO but some people like the taste of mercury lol do you know how to "butterfly" the gummy ??? http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Qod7hnwz2zY i tried this last time i got 1 but i bled it out, got heaps of meat with little to no wastage then left it in the fridge over night to strain out in one of those this you strain spaghetti with into a bowl to catch the water, beer battered it and deep fried it OMG i almost ate my fingers hahaQuote:

I really shouldn't have worn a red top to take pictures of red fish, they were so brightly coloured but you can't really tell in the pics.

Here's a spanking flathead I caught near Avalon at Kirks Point, laying on a slab box, that's a corker for us Mexicans , just can't remember what it measured.
Thats huge for bay rat now, what are we looking at there 450-500mm, regardless 2 nice fillets in any ones book,
much action other than that, buddy???
It was way bigger than that look at the slab box, its over hanging heaps. I got it when I first got my boat about 7 years ago.Quote:

I really need a fishing fix.
i think the hardest part monster is finding what little time there is to get out i have to book myself 3 months in advance to get out and wet a line. Mainly because all the lads i go with are shiftys or fifos
Going out to Queenscliff this morning to have a crack for some Calamari squid for the Xmas table. Waiting out the front of my mates joint since 3am but I think his still asleep as there's no lights on. I've been revving the engine, slamming my car door still nothing. I can't use the horn as I'll wake up the neighbourhood with my twin Stebel air horns.
Good spot queenscliff I caught a luderic in "the cut" a couple of years ago

You'll clean up on Calamari down there, used to dive all the time a Pt Arlington,
Hope your mate woke up eventually!
I had a mate that used to do the same thing, drives you mad.
Must be out on the water, funny down that way no reception once you leave shore. Yet you can see Melb CBD right across the water.
Yeah, I hate it too, he came out 3:35am.Quote:

Nice one mate. Nothing like a feed of fresh squidlies!
At least you got a feed though
X 3 gotta be happy with that Mego
I'm happy but thought it would be much better fishing, since last week was a bonanza on squid. Any how I am still happy about the results, could have been fishless but then again I would have just stayed out longer.Quote:

Tough life mate. Have a good one!
I'm green with envy lol maybe a few beers at the xmas break up might help hahaQuote:
