    The reddies are always welcome. As for the tailor, I eat them sometimes, which is what is happening with this one. Filleted, avocado/lemon topping, fillets baked, served on mash with veges.

    Always enjoy reading your update on fishing in Hacking. Cooking the catch is standalone skill and that is where the "average" fish can get some bonus edibility stars.

  2. Good on you Yon!

    Would love to hear how you experiment with dry aging goes. Was there any mention of aus salmon or other less popular but sustainable local species in the book?

    Every time when I am out on boat, beach walk or hopping on rocks there is rubbish to collect. Worst is when you pull out a fish and plastic comes out of them.

    Enjoy the feast!

  3. Thanks for the reminder Richard. I have to admit that lately I have had "sore" eyes after fishing trips. Not sure what might be causing it as I am wearing good quality polarised sunglasses.

    And on top of it only few days a vein poped in my right eye - so have the terminator look for few days ( no x-ray vision aquired) 😉

    Perhaps I need to pay a visit to an optometrist. 

    Cheers

  4. I gave the bonnie fillets a go with a Greek style - baked with oregano and potatos (Palamitha sto Fourno)

    Tailor is currently getting a treatment with smoke, should be ready for lunch. This smoke box from a a shop is working well.

    Cheers,

  5. Hi Raiders, 

    Ventured  out to Bate bay for prospecting new grounds on north side close to Merries reef as weather was very kind on Sunday.

    Wife asked for kingfish for Ceviche so the plan was to get livies - no luck at Oak Park so I have tried to locate some of the bait schools which were earlier near Wanda beach - no luck there either. First flattie came up on home made flasher with fish strip.

    Off to Merries reef and picked up a bonnie and nice taylor on Halco Lazer pro in gold and Pakula bug skirt.

    No luck on squid on the reef however other boats did better. Picked another flattie and 2 bonnies(letting one go as I already had enough) off boat harbour and decided to head back to Gray's point. On my way back engine oil indicator started to flash - not good 🥺  stopped engine (Suzuki DF70), checked prop,revs also ok etc. Could not see any smoke...so getting home took a while. Think it might be an automatically triggered when engine reaches certain hours -now 85hrs-  as a reminders of upcoming service.

    All and all eventful day.

    First on the menu is bonito with thai fried rice. 

    Cheers, Gus
