mimyo Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Just got back from a top sesh in Cowan, kept 7 hairtail with the bigger ones going 1.5. Yakkas and pillies did the damage. Better strike rate this time only lost 4! Also I let go a scumbo and about 30 soaps. I was on my pat malone and had a ball with all the action... I'll sleep well tonight.

Robofish Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Hi, So what made the difference to your strike rate? Also what rig where you using, did you use gangs, wire etc? Hope you don't mind sharing cos it seems you had exactly the opposite experience than we did the other night!

Dave Hi Dave The only difference between the two nights was last night they were heaps more aggressive, nowhere near as timid. They were smashing my baits and yes I was using wire and gangs. I sounded out a huge baitball and anchored over them. Just read your post in fish chat and you definitely need to up your hook size to 3/0.

mrpasqualie Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Hi mate I caught a couple at Whitehorse Bay on Sat arvo,live yellowtail,bycatch, but seriously, I cant be bothered cleaning them, and my first experience of rubbing off the chrome, slabbing them and bbq ing them was disastrous. Can you give me your recipe , cause I really found them boney and not very nice to eat. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I started to fillet them and what a difference having a boneless fillet is. Then you can cook em however you like they are delicious. The 7 fish weighed in at 13kg gutted and took me 1.5 hours to fillet. Made a soup with some of the bones and that was mad as well. If you want any more info Just let me know.
