What The? on Rove Live maybe...

Yes thats correct, if you were going over the bridge towards circular quay west is to the right, i know of cases of people eating fish from west of the bridge that have and haven't gotten sick from it, so its really up to the angler

3 looks here as well, thats a great one

You are allowed to fillet on the boats if it is for immediate consumption i believe.

I take it that you're speaking of the harbour. 'They' reckon that nothing west of the bridge should be eaten and only about 150grams per month of fish caught east of the bridge. All a bit over pretentious really.

Yeh i thought the same about flatties, i mean its a nice tasting fish but its not in the same class as melt in your mouth type reef species.

Well done Roberta, thats a great effort. Love the whipper snipper engine

We did that the the other day when trying to get yakkas, throwing prawn heads, guts etc... away from us. It does help

Well done mate, they're some awesome fish, nice work unreefing the king and getting some chunky salmon, how big do you reckon they were? Bummer about the flattie, most of them are released ok so i'd imagine that flattie stocks aren't looking too bad. Great work overall, did 100x better than me.... Josh

You don't even need the frames or burley a lot of the time, we've got heaps that we've just seen around wharves that we've scooped up for the sake of it. They would be a good fish to spear, get a fair bit of satisfaction out of it

There are quite a few fish which are very good as sashimi. The most common ones are tuna, salmon (not Australian Salmon), kingfish, mackeral, silver trevally and even flathead (according to Tetsuya). Squid i believe can also be eaten in this style. I'd have to say my favourite is probably kingfish with a bit of soy and lemon, closely followed by tuna, with mackeral in 3rd place.

Sashimi is raw fish, the best piece of fish for this is usually the belly area which is what surrounds the guts, cut this out and wash it in icy water. Leave it in the fridge for a few hours and eat with soy, wasabi and lemon. Tastes great

You had me going on the carp for a second . The mackeral as sashimi is great, add a bit of lemon and its right up there, different texture to tuna, kingfish, salmon etc... but the taste is great.

Kingfish are pretty damn good as sashimi. Have you tried eating them roasted? I reckon the texture is much better when its roasted compared to fried. (Those fish aren't my top 10 by the way, just the ones i thought of) Josh

Atleast we know we aren't the only ones. Hopefully things will MAJORLY improve in the near future!

Thats looks pretty much like an estuary Cod. Whereabouts were you fishing?

Has anyone noticed different results in regards to amount of hook ups with braid and mono in both bait and lure fishing? With bait then the line is just sitting there and is quite easy as previously mentioned for a fish to see braid over mono.(Has anyone noticed this when using smoke grey coloured fireline? Is it less visible?) Whereas with lure fishing, the fish are more likely to be following a lure or rise once seeing it usually seeing only the mono trace, not having as bigger effect when using braided line for lure fishing? Anyone got anything to add?

Great work getting amongst some snapper mate. A good feed, i'm still yet to even catch a legal snapper . Well done Josh

Thanks Huey, We would normally put in the optimax or xd-100 oil, but parents are very busy at the moment and haven't had a chance to go up to the dealers. Cheers Josh

Sorry guys, its not i don't rate whiting i just forgot to put it in there! And i don't mean to be comparing other reef fish with coral trout, just saying if it is in that category. Has anyone else actually had fresh fingermark, i had it a couple hours after i caught it and it was just unbeatable in my books Cheers Josh

Hi all, Just thought i would do a poll on what everyones favourite eating fish is. I've listed a fair few options, if your favourite is not up there, press other and post what fish it is. My favourite is Fingermark by a loooong way! Cheers Josh

Great to hear Pete. to Fishraider Josh

Well done all those fish mate, thats a very tasty haul. Great work with the king on light gear. Josh

Mate if you got it new then thats an absolute joke. I know that just about all boats have some minor teething problems, but what you're experiencing is absurd. Definitely get in touch with the Dept. of Fair Trading, see if they can help. Send us a PM of the who the dealer is if you don't mind, it'd be nice to know.

Agree with that. They interrupt every type of fishing , trying to catch yakka's, the yakka's outnumbered jackets in a ratio of about 30:1 but still we caught twice as many jackets as yakkas and we got 15+ yakkas. Thats one fish we shouldn't be concerned about how much of it is netted, and seeing as they taste good the work is done for us!
