Cobba12 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hi Raiders, It's been a while since I have had something worthy to report and I am happy to say that this is! So I pooped down to my local ledge on Sunday morning for a bit of a crack on the dropping tide, swell was great, a little wash and a great morning watching the storms crack on out to sea. I decided first to have a spin for some tailor and maybe a squid or 2 while I waited for the blackfish to warm up. I had a great indicator for that, a big islander bloke who is a dam good blackfish fisherman. He had landed just 1 before I got there and so I thought I will try out the new spinning rod while I watch him . By the time I had set up the other rod he had 3 fish so that was it I had to go blackfish fishing, the squid and tailor would have to wait. A great session followed with 12 fish, most of them very solid. I fished from 7 - 10 then went to fillet the catch. I noticed one fish was a big one, I knew it was big when I caught it but because the other fish were pretty decent I didn't think too much of it because he didn't look huge along side the others. When I came to filleting them I decided to leave him whole and take him home to measure and weight just in case he was a new PB. Well as you can see from the pictures he was around the 46cm mark and 1.62kg's. I was pretty happy because my biggest to date was 46.5cm's and 1.4kg so this was an upgrade. I also had no idea what the fish raider COTM thing was so I wrote the date on the paper. As it turns out it was a piece of paper hahah nailed it. So there you have it, I will submit this for an upgrade to my current blacky record and for COTM. Happy fishing team! Cobb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobba12 Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hi mate Welldone! thats awesome for a 3hrs session. Does the black fish taste good? and does it have an acquired taste? how would you cook the fillet? cheers Meiji, You cook it any which way. I like to cook them in either a light flour, herbs and spices coating with eg into coconut oil or just a bit of salt and pepper in coco oil. They taste great, I love them!

scrubby53 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I know the guy you are talking about Cobba. He fishes with a telescopic rod & he's a solid guy, One you don't want to argue with on a rock ledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
