wchh Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Fished from 10am to 1pm to cover the midday high tide on Saturday. Was thinking to get a few darts which I recently found pretty good eating. End result was not according to the plan but I am not complaining. For those interested in trying different bait for flatheads, I found two small crabs in the stomach of the 39cm blue spotted. Tailor not huge but good eating size of 33-35cm.

GoingFishing Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Mate thats an awesome feed u got there great work. Flatties will eat just about anything! I met an indigenous local at foster once who told me he wraps aluminium foil and a feather around a hook and would cast and retrieve in the surf and swore it worked like dynamite. how are the dart for eating, Any fish u could compare it to?

Rock&Beach Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Nice session mate. Great bag of fish. I miss my beach fishing at the moment it is my chill time. The wind in the face smell of the salt and baity hands. Cheers R&B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Nice one wchh. Im kicking myself for not fishing wanda at all over the.summer but then the spare time I have is spent in the tinny. Where abouts were these caught? I want to try down near greenhills next time I go. I even bought a new light surf outfit in the xmas sales & it hasnt even been christened yet Edited April 2, 2017 by kingie chaser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My great uncle was a pro fisherman and would troll in the Swan River for tailor (for bait) using a strip of bedsheet on ganged hooks, dipped in tuna oil. No info on the thread count.

I cook them whole. To me they are similar to small trevs or the more Asian fish pormfret. Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
