halvo Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Hi everyone, this is my first post but I have been enjoying reading and learning from all yours for a few months now! I put the boat in on Friday at Roseville. Drifted from Chinamans to Clontarf a few times and noticed it didn't take long for the leatherjacket to find and destroy my SP's. I then decided that "If you can't beat them, eat them". So I switched to some dirty re-frozen prawns leftover from a weeks ago and proceeded to land half a dozen in no time at all. In the middle of catching the leatherjacket I caught this nice little 31cm Bream - on one of those dodgy prawns! It was nice to come home with a bag of fish - and I was surprised at how tasty the leatherjacket are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deano2233 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 and well done mate sounds like a good day out. the leather jackets are under rated they are good to eat and reliable because there are so many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray R Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 to FR mate, those leather jackets do cook up pretty good but I must admit the bream would be my preferred choice. Good first post mate and I'm sure we will see plenty more.. Cheers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
