Guest hawkesbass Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Sat hit up the eastern suburbs ledges with royce. The bites started slow but got consistant until we called it quits. We got 19 in the net with the biggest going 40cms and the average size around 35 cms. I lost 7 six drummer and we would of dropped the same amount that made the net. On sunday went out again with paul and royce. It was pretty much the same as saturday once the bites started they kept on biting until we left. plenty of pulled hooks and dropped fish between us. 21 made the net with the biggest going 43cms and the average size around 38cms.

Yeah we did. From what fish were taken it was 90 percent males landed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosquid Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Thats a great result guys...... Heard that the waves were pretty rough and unexpected too. So where are the drummer or were they all too hard to land? cheers Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giffo Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Nice work Hawkesbass. I've being doing a bit of blacky fishing in the hacking. Caught a few and took a few home for a feed. I found them them a bit weedy to taste. I did bleed, fillet and skin them. I thought it might be because they were caught a bit up stream. Can you pass on any tips for preparing them for the plate? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luderick -angler Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Trevor and I keep the fish alive till the end of the session. They have their throat cut I break the neck, gut and cut along the spine in the gut cavity throw them in a bucket of fresh salt water to bleed out! Place the fish on ice and transport home where they a filleted, ribbed and skinned leaving a boneless piece of white meat I have had guests ask me if they are eating snapper when I tell them it's the old luderick the looks can be varied! Never had any complain yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbu Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 They also go well on the plate whole, fried with lots of garlic, olive oil, soy sauce and shallots. Make sure it has been bled quickly, put on ice, and the black lining has been scrubbed from the stomach with a bit of paper towel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnsey Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I prepare them as noted above, then squeeze some lemon juice on them. I add a little salt & chilli, then crumb them (flour, egg/milk mixture, & panko bread crumbs with some mixed herbs or spices). I've been eating last weekend's catch all week served on bread with sliced onion & mayo and a side salad - delicious! By the way guys, great catch with some huge fish - well done!

Ryder Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Re the tennis elbow, mate I had it bad from guitar, it was on the left arm thumb side of the elbow. Painfull, if it hit a doorway it could send you thru the roof. I stopped playing and wore a compression strap,cured. The strap had a lump or cam you place on the painful tendon then wrap it tight. It stops the tendon extending too much, giving it a rest. Now I have it on the pinkie side of the elbow left arm, some call it golfers elbow. I reckon it's from holding a rod too long, but it could be from catching too many fish. Rather than going under the knife, try the strap (chemist shop), cortisone injections, or switching left to right. It's not uncommon amongst fishos.
