Anything fishing

Nice mac , if you ever get the chance to go to Mission beach you can catch them off the pier .
A local was horrified when I was going to throw mine back in and so I gave it to him instead , well he did give me the livey that I caught it with .

Buy your spares while they're still available!

Yeah bloody awesome fish to catch! But the taste of it is not my liking. It was ok but its got nothing on three hour old fresh Golden Snapper or Barra. We are starting to plan our next trip up there, I reckon if I caught another Spaniard, I would release it. Unless it was bigger. Lol. This was far too big to kill and eat. It made around a 16, 1 inch thick steaks. A bloody lot of food for six people.

Yes they are fun to catch and put up a hell of a fight , Barra also don't give up too easy and both fish make good bait cut into strips , I hate fish but love fishing .

I need to belt you across the face with a wet fish. Hate fish! How?
I can understand fish from any fish shop in Melbourne. Or any shop that sells fish thats more than a day dead. My nephew was the same as you, then we went up north and he's like WTF! This fish taste so good!

A nice 7 Lb, 61 cm Golden Perch caught by a mate at Copeton Dam over the weekend off the bank in 4 feet of water right at the camp. Couple of large Catfish as well, no luck with the Cod even though conditions were perfect for trolling lures.

After fishing the Glenelg in Nelson where there wasn't even a nibble, we drove up to Sapling Creek and immediately got a few large bites. I caught my first estuary perch and my son landed a nice bream. We threw back a quite a few under-size bream too.

Next time take the photos before you gut them.

Um, OK, Tony, but the camera was 65km away, when we got them.
