Went out on the bay after work to test out my new Lowrance HDS7 sounder/GPS, got 8 flathead to 45cm, 1 gurnard ( I think) and a small gummy shark.

Nice work. Definitely a gummy. Guess its fish for dinner?

Where'd you get out - on the Bay?
The Gurnard/ Scorpion fish is not bad eating, however you must watch those spines on the dorsal, the spine is covered with skin, and under the skin is a VERY nasty venom.
To be stung by this fish, you will wish you had never been born, worse than Cobler or Flathead, I had the misfortune of being stung and thought I would never make it back to the ramp.
Now, I just cut them off.
Cheers, the ferret.

The only thing that will ease the pain and neutralise the venom is very hot water or tea or coffee poured onto the sting area..
Or spirits.. Drank thought, not on the sting.. Don't waste it. ;)
I dint mind throwing the line out.. But down here it's all you seem to do..
Best I've done is a 45cm snapper back home on yorke peninsula..

You love your fishing Mego, I worked on a shark boat out of Pt Welshpool years ago, threw a rod over the side any chance I got.
My favourite from the bay would be red mullet [Goat fish] just taste like cray MMMMMmmm cray
Bad days fishing better than a good day working, we used to go to Bemm river every june long weekend.
Now we like going and sitting by the Murray, normally get something.
