Blackfish

Yeah I'd like to say Go Storm............... Go, Go, Go , just go away Go the Tigers , we's were robbed. B.F.

Great work there catching those fish and taking the Kids fishing. The two common Dominators in those photos of the kids are, 1) Fish. 2) Big smiley faces. Must be a message there.

That sounds like you guys had a great day ,congratulations. Good to see a few fin still floating around.

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 B.F.

Sorry misread your post. Thats great going on landing that fish. Andy Mitchell summed them up, full of bones and you did the right thing and let it go. Congratulations on such a unusual fish and its release. B.F.

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. Shame it got away,

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.

Good luck there Nathan, looking foward to a report when you get back.

Well if you want my opinion.............. I'll just go and ask my wife B.F.

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.

I recon its a Highfin Amberjack (Amalco Jack) as Rocky picked. http://www.amonline.net.au/fishes/fishfact.../srivoliana.htm B.F.

ARRRRRRRRRR I see no Ships only Hardships AAAAaAARRRRRRRRRRRRR http://www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html

First one is a Male Crimson Banded Wrasse and the second is a Female Crimson Banded Wrasse. http://www.amonline.net.au/fishes/fishfacts/fish/ngymnog.htm B.F

PeterS, next photo could it be a Bream certainly has generated some interest so thanks for the original post. As for Bluefish, they are totally protected now http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pd...t-159-final.pdf So they can't be Fishraiders next Social . have seen a couple in the water while diving , quite a livid dark blue. Looks like a cross between a large Sweep and a Blackfish except for the rich colour

A Bluefish certainly crossed my mind at first but their tail is a bit more pointy http://www.amonline.net.au/fishes/fishfacts/fish/gcyanea.htm PS I'm led to believe that Bluefish point in Sydney was named after the Bluefish caught there ... few years ago now. I caught a little one at Little Beach up at the Central Coast many years ago fishing for Luderick And the plot thickens

Through great pain and suffering I had to go out and catch a Blackfish and a Drummer today, just to get a photo of their tails to try and solve this "Mystery" I will let the masses decide B.F.

Got a good Blackie today, it had big lips and was full of Roe. Good work on the ones you got today.

Phil try, http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fisheries/recrea...and-size-limits Hope that answers you question. B.F.

Hi guys, just an update. Unfortunatly no joy on the finding of the boat but I was asked to pass on that they are offering a $5000- dollar reward. Thanks for the concern as well.

Cheers Robeebee Had the big family bash here last night and I'm still getting over a cold, mmmmmmmm, strange last night the few Beers and glasses of wine I had I felt better than now, matter of fact I felt so good 12hours ago, I thought the Alcohol had cured my cold Wife said I could kick back today Happy Fathers days to all the Fathers and I hope you can kick back like me ............................... ...... OR GO B.F.

Certainly hard to say, but Geee... the tail wrist and the tail seems too long for a Drummer also bigger drummer tend to get rounder. I give in,but it's great looking at old photos. B.F. My rough stab............ Blackfish

Great fish on 4, that certainly takes a bit of effort. B.F.

Hey guys please keep your eyes open for a mate's boat that was stolen approximately Thursdays night at Wollongbar ( near Ballina ) northern NSW. It's a 520L Seydel with navy blue hull white top & white wave breaker. The boat is on a Easy Tow trailer & fitted with a 130hp two stoke Yammy. The unusual thing is the wave breaker, no windscreen. This is a serious outside boat. The details are Seydelcraft 520L Boat stolen from Wollongbar NSW on 24 August 2007. 5.20metre blue fiberglass hull runabout. BOAT REGO: AEN416N TRAILER REGO: R-94343 HIN: AUWWA135167CM6 Motor: YAMAHA 6L1 130HP Serial Number:1003398 Any information please contact Michael on 02 66285269 or 0400 367424 or Cassandra on 0438613378 LARGE REWARD OFFERED. To me this is not about the "REWARD" to me but to get a boat back that some scum stole ....... it could happen to anyone else on this site and lets hope everyone pulls together to get a fellow fishers boat back. This one or anyone else's one. Many thanks, Gordon.

I can see them looking back in the distance future and great memories come flooding back, they might even show their kids. Greta photo.

Welcome aboard there Luderick Angler....... now was that a Sportex 662 or a 663. B.F.
