icyphish Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Last Tuesday's forecast was pretty good so me and my mate wanted to travel a bit further up north to land something nice... but we all know weather man are liars, they like to change the weather condition at the last minute... So what happened... we ended up had a last minute change and decided to fish at nearby public spots... (northern beaches, nsw)We fished the morning and I ended up bring home 1x 35cm drummer, 2x 40lish drummers and 2 x 30cmlish wrasse, everything else was released as they are not worth bringing home...The two fat gropers were 68 and 70cm, they were just too fat to carry home, so we decided we would just dump them back to the deep blue ocean... :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paikea Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Love to see those beautiful Blues swimming free. They are much to pretty to kill. Nice pics, thanks for sharing them with us. Cheers Paikea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1shen Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 It's good to let the bigger, bright blue ones go. They've fully matured and are male. The other, smaller ones you catch with a brown/red tinge are all females - they change sex as they grow older and bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
