Ojay Samson Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Hey all, went for a fish initially at kirribilli wharf with the gf for about 10 minutes, having never been there til then, we didnt like it due to the cramped quarters so went somewhere else. Got to the new location and baited up. Didnt take long till my newly acquired/salvaged/adopted rod combo I found the week previous and fixed (bcf 29.99 junior combo special... still had the sticker on it) buckled over. On the end of the line was a 50cm flattie. Completely unexpecting to get anything decent, again it was a stressful race for the gf to assemble the net again and for me to play with the fish making sure not to lift its head up out of the water and making sure it didnt go around pylons. after a couple tense minutes of assembling the net and walking the fish along the boardwalk to an access ladder, i climbed down the ladder while holding the net and the gf holding the rod now, scooped it up and success, brought it up and saw the hook fell out of the fishes mouth while in the net. Didnt take a pic of that as we've all seen a flatty before, it was more of the story behind catching it which I found note-worthy. Then next up caught a Painted Sweetlip/MILF going around 43-44cm. Caught that on a hand line with a squid head and a 7/0 suicide hook. took me into the rocks and whatever else was down there but luckily the handline was sporting 40lb mono (recycled line from old reel which needed some fresh stuff) so it was just a simple case of skull dragging it out. In regards to fishraider records badges, i'd like to apply for one with this fish. had a quick search for all the different names of this fish but didnt find anything. It seems like all the rage these days, and you aint nothing till you get one, haha jks... i just want to be cool to. can anyone point me in the right direction for that. "MILF RECORD HOLDER"... yes I like the sound of that =DCheers for reading all, Ojay Edited January 22, 2015 by Ojay Samson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynabolt Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 It's always good when you catch stuff when you aren't expecting to! Good catch btw. In looking for the new spot, did you just wander around or pull out google maps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks dynabolt. well we originally checked out kirribilli wharf, didint like it like mentioned so we decided to check out luna park wharf and just went from there (skipped jeffrey street wharf because ive fished there a couple of times and only ever caught pinkies, small port jackson shark and leatherjackets in the daytime).

nutsaboutfishing Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Is MILF mother in law fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ojay Samson Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Oh man... And I was getting g really excited for a badge too Yes, for all those wondering, it is also known as a Mother-in-law Fish, hence the acronym, apparently they're not that great eating, but also not poisonous and complete garbage either so you usually just palm them off to the in-laws... I didn't make the name up, the internet told me, so who am I to argue haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
