    Ugliest Fish Ever!

    in The Aquarium

    Posted

    Hi Simmo If you like moustaches on freaks you should fish Flint and Steel reef, some of the critters up there come complete with beards and moustaches and if you get lucky you'll get them in an assortment of colours as well. :D

    Cheers

    It wasnt nearly as disgusting as the leatherjacket louse that we find buried deep inside the liver of a big leathery we caught! I didnt even want to get it with pliers :1yikes: !!

    Mullet Of Some Kind?

    Its probably a different species of herring. Arripis greenwichii?

    They're better off as live bait so next time you catch one, give it a piercing and let him out to swim in a deep hole.

    Cheers.

    for some one thats just started fishing simmo you certanly giving it a good bash

    squid in milk crates and one ugly mother off a fish

    it's only a matter off time till you hook up to somthing big and hear the reel screem

    i would say a scorpion cod but the under side does'nt look right for a scorpion

    scorpion cod are one off the most painful stings you will get in the harbour and they have heaps off spines

    i compair it to a wasp sting but some people have a bad reaction and can pass out and be in real bother

    some people eat them and i've tryed steaming one for a dish called pore mans lobster

    it tasted like steamed fish and was crap and not worth the effort but i proberly stuffed it up

    if you do keep one kill it and break off all the spines with long nose plyers so you can handle

    cherrs gary

    Gary there was NO WAY any of that thing was going near my mouth!!! It tried to spike me so much and we just let him go.

    It had a moustache!!!

    Cheers by the way, I cant wait till I do finally have something huge!

    Where did you catch it, if freshwater im shore its a freshwater herring, other wise its a silver biddy

    It was caught in the harbour down near Greenwich wharf.

    We went down there again last night and caught 2 more so they must be thick atm.

    (we tried a little bit as sashimi and it wasnt great :thumbdown: )

    Its definitely not a silver biddy because all 3 were over 20cm which is max biddy length.

    Thanks for ur replys btw guys, so are we agreed on Herring?

    Could someone please put me out of my misery and tell me what type of fish this is?

    post-9568-1233284436_thumb.jpg

    Only one largish fin on its back, had a greenish tinge running down its spine when we caught it and no teeth. Really shiny and slimy.

    Night Fishing For Squid - Tips?

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    Hey all

    Over the last few months I have done 2 "all nighter" fishing trips in Jervis Bay (really, from 12am onwards)...

    Each time I started going for squid at my usual squid spots (that *always* produce during the day), then headed out deeper (long nose point etc) to go for other fish.

    Both times I came up zero - nothing, nada, not even a nibble.

    So what's the prob? Do I need to use different jigs? Different spots? Or is Squidding at night just a waste of time?

    I should point out - both nights were very very dark. New Moon one night, and cloudy the other. My all round light on the boat isn't super bright (bright enough for its purpose).

    thanks

    Mike

    Mate the other night we caught 2, 30cm+ squid of a jetty using a whiting on ganghooks to lure them in and a milk crate to scoop them up.

    It worked really well as they would follow the whiting to the very surface.

    Cheers,

    Simmo

    Bull Mullet

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    Hi Simmo

    Big bream take the eyes out of bull mullet and actually bite thru the mouth and nose area cutting off their breathing works and thereby killing the fish......

    You often see yellowtail dead on the hook with the mouth missing....... This indicates that there are big bream to be had where you are fishing your live bait......

    If your live bait comes back with a cut in the back of their neck, that indicates the presence of squid, if they are dead on the hook with their tail fin missing which exposes the spine and kills them quickly, that indicates the presence of tailor which disable bigger fish by coming in behind them and biting their tail off.

    Cheers

    :1yikes: Very interesting, thanks Jewgaffer

    Cheers,

    Simmo
