SquidMarks Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 everything is edible once in your life........... On a serious note though.. you got yourself a gurnard. I dont mind them but they do have a bit more bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueswimmerz Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 What an awesome fish! We're looking at going down ulladulla way in the next month any recommendations on fishing spots? Sent from my 0PJA10 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutt Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 We are nailing it on the flathead, conditions great! Have caught gurnards before but never ate them... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutt Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Will write up a report later but we are basically 2 km off the Harbour in about 45m of water, happy just to feed the family today! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boattart Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Gurnard or Latchet if you find them in the fish shop. They are a good feed and no legal size limit I can see on DPI website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutt Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Thanks everyone....I always say this is the best website! So a quick report... Weather gods finally smiled on us down the coast and we headed out from Ulladulla harbour this morning at about 7am, a lot of boats going out. The bait shop was closed, luckily had some left over salted pilchards and prawns. Headed out in a medium swell to about the 45 metre mark, basically directly out from the harbour. The wives and kids wanted fresh flathead, so started a very slow drift. Nothing for about a half an hour or so, then the fish turned up with a bit more current and drift. All fish caught over the next hour or so and we left them biting! Headed back to a reef and tried for a snapper or 2 but no luck there. At the cleaning table there were some great fish being cleaned, some quality reds and a nice gummy as well as some great flathead. Beautiful morning on the water! Cheers!

tld517 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Gurnard doesn't have many fine bones as SB. Actually it tastes similar to a flathead but a bit firmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
