0 rockfisherman Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 On our way back from the fads, I was gutting the dolphin fish we caught, in its stomach mixed in with the chunks of pilchard were small partially digested leather jackets that size...

0 Yowie Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 About 54 species of jackets in Australian waters according to my fish book, some are like that in that they do not grow too big. A bit hard to determine the species. Shame that the bigger fish do not eat more little chinamen jackets, need to decrease them from breeding outside as much as they do.

0 Shanemills Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Did it catch anything maybe they can start selling as bait to try and keep numbers down. Because there's just to many of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 djbazzab Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Well, they go pretty good for tiny jackets! Usually I good all rounder for me, starting off with it before working out what other colour to be using. But lately I.

0 gummy bear Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Maybe that's just a big hand =OBut I don't mind leather jacket - don't see em as a pest when they taste pretty good and are one of the easiest fish to clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
