Blackfish

Great to take the kids out for a fish, cracker of a day for it and it seems they enjoyed themselves which is what its all about. Im sure they will talk about the adventure for a while. As for your fish, the first is a Gunther's Wrasse and the second is a Striped Barracuda .... goes by a lot of common names also. I've always called them a Sea Pike.

Thats a beast. Good Crissy present.

Thanks mate. Have a great one today.

Hi @Fab1 I've got the same beast.We had to cancel Crissy at our place this year, so it will be just 3 of us and the dog. I've passed the throat with the razor blades stage, then it went to the cough that tore what was left of your throat out and now I only feel like crap. Such a improvement. My thoughts go out to you Fab. Those who haven't had a bad dose I truly hope you never get it. And those who don't have it have a GREAT and a Happy one with friends and family. @noelm I pretty sure I caught this off my daughter, she had a mild case and recovered pretty quickly where I got smashed. So people should take responsibility for infecting others. Yes common sense should tell you to act responsible.

That would be a record for a mix of fish, certainly unusual.

Looks a good size one and a good effort on a Jet Ski.

That’s a great Gummy and it sounded like a bit of hard work on the Flatty front.

Great work Bob and I hope that wind doesn't pick up to much for you gents.

Good luck there Neil and have a safe trip mate.

A couple have come up here on FR over the years. Paddle Crabs have a slightly different pattern on their shell as well as a slightly different shell shape. "Paddle Crab" (Photo from DPI.)

Wooooooh Thats one excellent Cod. Congratulations.

Yep, you think your going to have a great day ....... and ☹️

You gave the fish out of the goodness of your heart and in return you received a Ham out of the goodness of her Heart. Good people are good people.

Thats fantastic work Neil.

And a fat "YES" to that statement.

My only thoughts @Little_Flatty of using the Wonder Wobbler in the Parra would be it getting snagged up on Rocks/Debris/Mangrove Roots etc. I used mine for Flathead on a sandy beach.

My first lure caught Flathead was on a Wonder Wobbler when I was quite young and that was just a Hop Hop Hop type retrieve, as for a Tassie Devil I've never used one.

Great post @noelm And you don't realise how short life is to you get older.

Fantastic 😃

Thats one hell of a Estuary Jack there Dave. Congratulations.

Great report here GR, thanks for taking the time to post.👍

They cant take yesterday away from you or the memories.

Great read LF. I fish when I can and sometimes have a ride with the Lads on Tuesday night at SOP. Youth was a while ago for me and some memories fade ......

Looks like a Roddy Reel.

Black Spot on the Tail base confirms it. Thanks @Mike Sydney
