macman Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I've had a couple of keeper nets full of blackfish destroyed by wobbegong. One time I heard a whole lot of thrashing around, went to the keeper net and a wobby had the net with a big hole ripped in it and blackfish fleeing everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hornet Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Nice fish blackfish angler. I've never had eels or jackets go for my keeper, only pelicans. I just decided to keep a record of PB blackfish today and got the ball rolling with a 43cm fork length. See my report elsewhere, just posted.

harold Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Gee they are good fish. It is years since I have been blackfish fishing. Isn't it funny, I decided not to post the nick name of these fish given the negative connotations of the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it funny, I decided not to post the nick name of these fish given the negative connotations of the word. Yeah, I could get offended at white bait, white shark, whiting, etc etc etc. Where is common sense? Oh, I remember - it was vetoed in the 80's.

Burger Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) I wonder how long it takes for a word with negative connotations in one area to be an acceptable nickname for a fish . . . 50years? 100 years? My dad used it, I use it, my kids don't cos they aren't really into fishing yet. I'm not even sure my 11yo knows the negative meaning of the word. I might have to check with him ont he weekend. I believe it is all about context and as stormy said, common sense. Unfortunately common sense isn't all that common any more.

Green Hornet Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I was taught the art of blackfishing by an old, indigenous man and even he called them the N word. That was back in the 1960's though and I only knew him as Captain Midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUT Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Hey 'Blackfish Angler', Some really nice fish you have been catching lately, little envious of the fact that you are actually fishing for blackfish and am not. I am the same vintage as you and just enjoy blackfishing so much, it is both relaxing and frustrating at the same time. It is quite intoxicating watching, and waiting in anticipation for that float to disappear. Blackfishing at The Entrance this winter - the biggest blackfish we have 'heard' about this winter has been a 53cm fish caught by a local called 'Frank' [one of the best fisherman I've come across]. We regularly catch fish in the range of 40-43cm when they are 'on', however, the blackfish have virtually disappeared. That's fishing for you. Have a question for all those chasing the 'big' blackfish, do you keep and eat them ?, I have found the really big fish are not as nice to eat as the smaller say 35cm fish. Just a note for those new to blackfishing, make sure you give yourself plenty of time to 'bleed' the fish well before cleaning/filletting. On the topic of the colour of float tips, I have found fishing into the sun early in the morning with a lot of sun glare etc, a solid black coloured tip works for me, with the flouro orange/pink tips working the best with the sun behind me. Anyway all blackfisherman have their own querky ways of doing things. Will post photos of floats. Good fishing everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luderick -angler Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Rut I let the big fish go prefer the 30 to 35cm fish much firmer flesh and you get a good pan size fillet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUT Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Hey Luderick - Angler, Yes I'm thinking I will adopt your rule and keep the 30-35 fish, and you are correct the flesh is much firmer (much better for sweet and sour fish with rice).

luderick -angler Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Rut I also find the bigger fish carry the worm more often than not too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
