Clifton Gardens Wharf

[sam bros]

went to good old CG wharf yesterday after not fishing for a while

armed with banana prawns and chicken

plan was to catch lives and chuck them out on the big rods and try to catch bream/trevally on the smaller rods

well all in all it was really quite with no taking on the livies, there was yellowtail about and pretty hard to catch compared to other days.

managed a few undersized bream and squire to about 22 cm

and caught this fellow, if anyone could ID this fish would be appreciated as i didn't know what it was

cheers

Pretty sure it's a sweep! Thousands of em about ATM. They are in jacket proportions up here!

Cheers scratchie!!!

yeah sweep for sure, caught a couple last week - not bad eating with nice white flesh when filleted.

Do you eat sweep?

[The Incredible Hull]

I tried sweep, not good eating, flesh is not solid flakes, its more mushy.

Have eaten the bigger ones caught from ocean rocks and they were quite edible.

Next time try tiny pieces of pilchard or minced beef on small long shank for yellowtails. Sabiki rigs tipped with that can also be effective.
