    IT WAS CRAP thats all i have to sya, very strong flavour, took a bite and put it in a bag for next trips burly instead of wasting it.

    yeh i usually fillet the striped tuna and turn them into strip baits. theyre awesome on the close in reefs ad as floating batis. then just throw the frames into the burley pot.

    nice report and pics shame about the lack of fish.

    the rising water temps made the news and temps have been over the 22 degree mark in most areas. yet in the weather report they stated that these warm waters may only lasy until the end of the week as more northerly winds are predicted to blow the warm surface water out to sea and allow the colder/deeper water to rise to the surface. lets hope the higher water temps last long enough for the dollies to get going!!

    well done mate nice catch there.

    did it put up much of a fight?? last one i caught was that size and was a beast you can feel there tails pulsate in the water as they dive for the nearest structure. they usually put up a good fight and are great eating to boot!! well done.

    cheers pk

    could be a barcheek trevally Carangoides plagiotaenia although quite unusual to find this far south.. though the fin structure and position of the lateral line is quite similar.

    heres a few links to compare the pic

    down in victoria its considered tops!!

    thats mainly cause its a prime target species as with KGW and of course snapper.

    in my opinion if prepared corecctly they make a great fish and chips but of course, there are better species out there.

    dolphin fish has a really nice flesh and delicate flavours you dont want to overpower them. the recipies listed above are tops just simple additions like lemon and parsley, butter, salt and pepper is whats needed. how you wish to cook them is up to you but grilled, bbq, pan fry its all good as this fish is quality and versatile.

    Sydney Fads

    Hey Raiders

    Scuse my complete ignorance but whats a FAD?

    I assume its some kind of marker bouy or something. Are they attached to the bottom?

    Never really been out in the open b4 (Would dearly love to but I don't know anyone who has a boat that goes out) Some childhood memories of being out in the open near Batemans with my dad & uncle many many moons ago. Hoping to get myself a decent boat (Maybe a Quinne) in the next 12 months or so & then maybe I will call on someone to come with & give me some pointers on serious boating. :biggrin2:

    Just reading the posts here has been a real eye opener :1yikes: I see the experience amoung the folk here & dream of having half the knowledge most do here. One day soon I'll put my dreams into reality. Until then I read & learn. Thanks for that.

    gday mate,

    a FAD_ is a Fish aggregating device, as you said it is basically a bouy attaced to the bottom which floats on the surface. when the warm currents run down the coast pelagics and species like dolphin fish follow and they are attracted to floating objects and congregate around them as do bait fish, kings etc. people usually troll the vacinty, cast lures and baits and come up with fish its a very simple way to get dolphin fish and other species (not at the moment in sydney though as the warmer currents havent arrived and stayed around, the 22 degree mark water temp is ideal while the water is approx 18-20 in some areas so not warm enough.) hope this helped oh and the coordintes for fads are on fisheries websites , usually the wider fads hold the better quality fish and there are also many private fads around for you to find (just floating objects really).

    hope this helps

    cheers pk

    Whats This Fish

    in The Aquarium

    Posted · Edited by pk-fishn

    im not 100% but i think it is a species of cardinal fish. this actually took quite a while to find think its a Apogon quadrifasciatus. very hard to distinguish between the species but the horizonal stripe running right through the tail and the two white lines through the eyes gave it away as it was very very close to other species of cardinal fish. (they vary only the slightesT)

    heres a link to the pic for verification, and just checked and found it is distributed across australia.

    Back To The Old Stomping Ground

    Randal,

    There has been a lot written about fishing hard body lures for bream. It is not all that different to SP's, cast them close to good structure, boat hulls, submerged rocks, pontoon, oyster racks or what ever structure is in the area you are fishing. Work them slowly, very slowly. You will find on almost every occasion the bream will hit the lures when it is stopped. The technique is to crack the handle of your reel a couple of times then pause, then crank a couple more turns and pause and keep doing this. Most of the strikes come in the first meter of retreive. The most common mistake made by people new to fishing hard bodies is to much speed and not enough pauses.

    Bream are great fun on hard bodies, they generally hit them a lot harder than plastics and you get to see most of the strikes.

    Best of Luck and stay at it until you work it out. oh and by the way nice catch there!!

    Burnsy

    gday randal,

    as burnsy said its a little different with hardbodies as the action is already in built ( created by the bib thus you dont have to really impart as much action as you would with an sp). with a lure like an sx40 it is a floating lure that rises when you stop winding the reel this is what the bream love!! so as previously stated fish slow a couple of cranks then pauses and dont be afraid to let it sit there a bit as some timid fish will play around a bit before smashing your lure. Its a tricky bussiness but very rewarding.,

    hope this helps.

    cheers pk.
