aussie big bob Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 (edited) Hi there fellow raiders Just a quick report on how a mother in law fish (Sargent baker) can become a delicious meal of the best eating cuttle fish Well all started early Saturday morning putting the boat back together finished by 10.30am By 11am boat was loaded and ready to go. So off to cooks river ramp with the Boat in water by 12.30pm. Head out into the bay to find the water conditions not that bad but the westerly where something different So with all this in mind decided to head for the third runway and try a few drifts. Done two drifts but the wind was just too strong and fast. So with the water conditions not being that bad headed for the south head for a drift or two This turn out to be a waste of time aswell. So decided to move up past north head towards Maroubra Get about half way between north head and Maroubra decided to stop and do some drifts as it was Now getting late in the day Done approx 2 to 3 drifts of the shore out to see for not much more than 2 small nannies and one small Baker On the fourth drift the puts a bait down and gets a few small touches and then calls snag so as usual put rod down and go to help only to find that it was not snagged but did have some weight to it. So handed the rod back to the and left instruction to just keep lifting and winding after about 5 mins or so Up comes this large baker with a cuttle fish attached to it and mind you the cuttle fish was not hooked it was just not going to let go of the baker So now with dark setting in it was time to head back to ramp. arrive cooks river ramp 7pm Not much on the fish side of things but at least we got on the water for the first time in 3 weeks P/s 5 tooheys pils and fresh crumbed cuttle fish just to top of the day’s events. What more could you want Cheers Bob Edited July 8, 2007 by aussie big bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster and co Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Top report Bob, Never heard a sergeant baker called a mother in law fish before, though I can guess how they got the moniker. Well done on the cuttley, very tasty. Cheers, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkles Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Throw the cuttle on a big hook live. bring on the king of all kings. That thing is massive, you would have to watch your waist line if you kept eating them yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
