0 benm Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 kelpfish or rock cale and a wirrah/old boot, both rubbish in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mullatt Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Yep, agree rock cale and wirra.................and definitely both rubbish ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Paikea Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The Wirra or Old Boot is the original fish that you cook in water that has a brick in it. Then when the brick is nice and soft you throw out the Wirra and eat the brick. Cheers Paikea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Blackfish Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Eastern Kelpfish for the first and Wirrah Cod for second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mousse Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yeah, Wirrah and cale. But if you're getting these it usually means your fishing in a spot likely to produce drummer. Try (if you're not already doing so) using nothing but a sinker right down to the hook and using peeled prawns or cunji ss bait. Berley with bread soaked in water.

0 Blackfish Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 You may find a Cale (both Rock and Herring) are different critters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mousse Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Kelpfish then maybe? Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2 Edited February 8, 2014 by Mousse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Blackfish Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yeah Mousse, first one is a Eastern Kelpfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Yowie Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 A shit sandwich would taste better than either fish you caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
