madasacutsnake Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Hi All, Fished Saturday morning and whilst getting a nice feed of flatties on plastics managed to land something a little bit different. We were fishing off Werri Beach (south coast) in about 90ft of water with a silvery looking atomic which has been doing very well with the flatties. A Red Gurnard is a new species for me on plastic, has anyone else picked one up yet? Stallo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalliser Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Nice work there Stallo! U should submit for fish of the month as well as there's no lure-fishing record for Gurnards. Cheers Ronald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Nice one! I picked one up a few years ago in my bait soaking days. It was caught with a peeled prawn in Narrabeen Lake. Measuring in at < 20cm, it was not quite as hefty as that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madasacutsnake Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 wow thats the biggest gurnard ive seen, does it read roughly 49cms??? i cant make it out meant to be tasty did u keep it? CFD yep, 49cms. Decided to bring it home for a taste test. Never tried one before. Very nice firm flesh but you feel bad eating it because they are sure a colourful fish. I'b be just ashappy eating a flattie so all the future ones can rest assured they will back in the water in no time! Stallo Nice work there Stallo! U should submit for fish of the month as well as there's no lure-fishing record for Gurnards. Cheers Ronald Thanks mate. I don't think it would beat my brothers entry for fish of the month (golden perch) but I have submitted it for lure records. Stallo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insolent Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Beautiful looking fish, usually see them pictured from the side and so don't see the colour on the fins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
