panfried Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Catching yellowtails they don't seem to be around. it's now 3pm and I've been here for almost 40 min I've caught 2 snappers between 10 and 17 cm, a leather jacket and a colour fish with sharp teeth and a slimy skin... Been burleying and casting 10 meters down current. No yaks so I'm heading to Clifton with frozen squid Wish me good luck. I don't know what I'm doing
panfried Posted May 7, 2015 Author Posted May 7, 2015 Know what they are?? Some sort of leather jacket and Mardi Gras fish! ! And thanks I'll need the luck
panfried Posted May 7, 2015 Author Posted May 7, 2015 Also wind is quite strong Feel free to join me if you guys want
cong Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 You've got yourself a leatherjacket and a wrasse. Throw a plastic around at cliftons and you might nail a flatty over there.
panfried Posted May 7, 2015 Author Posted May 7, 2015 12 guys plus me.. 1 yakka caught between us all.. it's still early
panfried Posted May 7, 2015 Author Posted May 7, 2015 Just had my first run on the yellowtail but I lost it when I picked up the rod and accidentally opened the gate... not use to this new set up I got just yesterday from Willoughby! I also picked up a new Kmart special and customised it with 10 pound line... The lines more expensive than the rod lol Need more yaks now
Blackfish Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 The Wrasse is a Gunther's Wrasse Pseudolabrus guentheri. Good luck with the Yakkas.
panfried Posted May 7, 2015 Author Posted May 7, 2015 Thanks for the fish ID. Went back to cremorne point to catch some yellowtail for Greenwich... caught 3 and now I'm just waiting for a bite... sitting in the car cause its so freakin cold.
Ryder Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Make sure your rod is tethered. It's a good spot for Jewies.
panfried Posted May 7, 2015 Author Posted May 7, 2015 I'm using a new rod and I almost lost it today hahaha. So good to hear about the jews . haha and I'm sitting in my car with heater on. The wait is on I don't want to finish the report with a dirty wrasse and a leather jacket
panfried Posted May 8, 2015 Author Posted May 8, 2015 Okay so last night was cold... nothing at Greenwich in the end. So in total I only caught- The leather jacket wrasse (Mardi Gras fish) 5 baby snappers All fish were Released besides yellow what a sad day/night. I'm going again today tho
panfried Posted May 8, 2015 Author Posted May 8, 2015 Not sure about the legal limit. Can you eat them? Science told me colourful things in the wild is no good, such as poisonous frogs, magic mushrooms, Starburst.
GILL'T Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Great banter on the live update MACKEREL, gives us office dwellers some entertainment between meetings and pushing paperwork around. Keep it up
amkr Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Not sure about the legal limit. Can you eat them? Science told me colourful things in the wild is no good, such as poisonous frogs, magic mushrooms, Starburst. Wild Starburst are the worst...
Blackfish Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 is there a legal limit for wrasse? Possession limit would be 20. Don't believe there is a size limit, but gee you'd be hard up keeping small ones. You may get a Crimson Banded Wrasse at a reasonable size (400 grm +). You see Crimson's, Purple and Blue Throat Wrasse in Chinese Restaurants and they ask big prices so someone must like them. Purple and Blue Throat Wrasse are not a species really caught in Sydney but they grow pretty big down the South Coast. 1kg plus.
