huntman Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 how big was the bream? where is abbostford wharf? abotsford wharf is down near five dock, it's where the ferries leave from. Every night of the week there are a lot of people down there fishing etc, but I don't think it's all that special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brettoes Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 is it to much to ask not to keep big flatties,keep as many as you want under 70 but let the big ones go,and to get 2 that big on a double hook up.....i dont give a damn what others say about keeping big flatties but as everyone nows there the big girls.why keep them there plenty other fish to keep out there that taste good.

bolan Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Guys, the first marlin my dad caught up at Brunswick heads(he lives there) , he kept. Following that, he has never landed one and kept. The first one I ever caught in Sydney , I let go. The problem is that it would be vey easy to get into a debate as to wheather to catch and keep, or catch and release. If you catch a big fish(of any description)........ then great, if you really want too, keep it. Once you've landed one though, the rest of the biggies go back. Is this a bad theory, or am I on the money........ Would love to hear from the raiders.! PS. Please don't be literal, Should I catch my first 300kg swordfish, I promise to release it!

Steve Mc Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I can't speaK from experience so I will ask. Do flatties that size actually still taste good. I would have thought not, but feel free to correct me. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewhunter, Site Admin. thanks jew hunter... i for one am always releasing fish and i fish almost 3-4times a week so for me to keep some fish is very rare .. i understand the preservation of fish is important but also if they read my post carefully it states only one was over 70cm that i kept i released the other two and kept another under 70cm ... besides its legal to keep 2 fish over 70cm .... so thanks for sticking up for me :0 cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
