0 Day's Fishin Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Rock cale or as we know them as rock cockies. They are a bloody nuisance as they school up and hit the bait before a luderick can get a chance. They taste like weed and fight like their stoned on weed!

They are not even bait worthy mate, they are not even worth a PB effort from a Blackfishermans point, i might be wrong with this comment but they are not regarded highly, if caught they are released and hope they are not around in numbers on your day off the pebbles.

0 elferoz777 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Hi Raiders Went out for a blackfish session this afternoon, and my mate pulls this fish out of the water. Does anyone know what it is? I know all too well unfortunately...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 elferoz777 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 the sad thing is where I fish if they are not biting them nothing else is If I catch a cockie then I at least have a hope of getting something else... These dastards take all bait from worms to pillies!! I usually pull in two cokies to 1 bream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 benm Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Are these the same fish? Because they tasted pretty good. I thought they were odd looking drummers. Caught them over a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ssantoro Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 look similar but its hard for me to tell after they've been scaled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Yowie Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Are these the same fish? Because they tasted pretty good. I thought they were odd looking drummers. Caught them over a year ago. The fish are cale (cockies, shit fish, or whatever you want to call them) and they smell like they have been eating shit sandwiches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ssantoro Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 what were you using as bait? Cabbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Flickn Mad Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 There are a couple of variants in the Cockie species. we tried them as lobster bait and not even a crustacean with no brain would touch them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
