    sure is mate

    come to think of it there's another kind of seriola called an alamco jack. they're pretty rare but its a possibility.

    I believe the Original fish in this thread is a Amalco Jack also called a HighFin Amberjack.

    The other is a ......................

    Total Chaos At Kyeemagh Boat Ramp !

    Out of interest (and certainly not looking for an argument...)

    What's wrong with keeping a shovel nose shark and port jackson? They're not protected are they?

    Obviously keeping them when he's not going to eat them is flaming stupid - but it sounds like you abused him before hearing of his plans....

    Both species are certainly not endangered, but to kill them just to take a photo :thumbdown: you could do that in the boat , get a better, more interesting photo and then let them go.......... sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    as for the idiots down there, suggest contact waterways and let them know, hopefully they will come down.

    The Bas@$#ts will cry blue murder ,serves them right.

    You know what they say: red sky at morn - sailor's be warned!

    Thought I'd never say this but, thank goodness I went to work then :074:

    Worming Seven Mile With Kirkby

    Arrr teaching the dark art hey. Best wormers I've seen were the Koori's around Crescent and Hat Head, made me look like a dill,mmmmmmm that didn't take much though.

    When I was younger used to go on holidays up the coast with my young step brother plus my mate and his 2 kids. Spent many hours chasing worms, with the kids and having a great time in the process. Fun way to spend a few hours.

    Fond memories.

    But as Ray R said, geeez you can get burnt if your not careful. Missus ended up with sun stroke once and was really crook for a few days.

    There's still a few up around your way Ray we chase in Summer, though sometimes they make me go :wacko:

    One very interesting issue arose during the morning. I was using my spin rod with 4kg braid and a 2.5kg mono trace. He was using regular blue fishing line and outdoing me 2 to 1. Has anyone had a similar experience? Is the braid too visible for fishing floaters in fairly clear water? It was definitely a significant difference, he slayed me. Or is it just the young bull and the old bull story all over again.

    Great work there Hutcho, sounds like great day to me.

    As for the line it could have been the different aspects of where the line was floating i.e.. because of the different thickness and properties of the line the bait could have ended up in a different spot or presented the bait in a different spot because you were using floaters.........

    or he's just a better fisherman than you :biggrin2:

    Found a half dead Giant Hearing washed up at Patonga many years ago and a mate found one up at Woy Woy in the same condition along time ago also ,both times in winter. Certainly a possibility there Offchops.

    Just before I left for work the other morning ,looking out the back the Sky was certainly a bit different . I grabbed the camera and took this photo. It changed in a couple of minutes and by the time i got inside the color had nearly gone, so it was a matter of being there for those few minutes.

    Geee I love that time of the day.

    I've looked at a few old Raider reports and found that you can get amberjack around Sydney.

    They sure fight hard. Pound for pound I'd say they are as tough, or ever tougher than the kingies.

    Cheers

    I have seen Amberjack,Sampson and Almaco Jacks caught around Sydney. More of a bycatch than a targeted fish and yes the buggers certainly go.

    The Sydney Harbour charter operators get a few at certain times.
