AndrewNR Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Nice fish mate. I was amazed as I was travelling down the river at 3.30 am and saw about 20 boats looking for the jews. They must be around so stick at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suttonscurse Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Nice Fish I must admit that flathead , dusted in flour with pepper and salt and grilled on the BBQ is one of my favourites. Enjoy your lunch.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
