jim77 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 We dont actually eat fish - just love catching them! Do yourself a favour and try eating Dolphin fish... It is delicious!! One of the best eating fish you can catch i reckon. If you vacuum pack it they freeze ok - but definitely best fresh i.e. one day old max! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongy Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Thats a top dollie. Were there many around or was this just a single rogue dollie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamBradley Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Thats a top dollie. Were there many around or was this just a single rogue dollie? Hey - there was a pair of them came up our berley / cube trail and we hooked her straight away. Ran 50 metres and jumped like crazy... have to admit we were some pretty happy fishers at that moment.. Definately werent expecting any Dolphin Fish as we had been told they prefer warmer water. Temp was 19.5 degrees where we caught her. Happy Happy Days - lets hope we see plenty more!
