bojulabah Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) Hi Raiders, I went out last Sunday to target blackfish (out of my boat). The weather was crook - very windy as you'd expect from this time of year. Tucked in behind the heads and caught some unusual fish. I know diet changes for all fish at different times of year - I've caught Ludderick on nippers, prawns and bread - Never caught a Seargeant Baker on fly before?? What other strange catches have people caught Edited August 11, 2017 by bojulabah Poor spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regan Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 the weirdest catch i have caught is a bream on no bait, just a hook by itself, sergent baker will eat anything they see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I once managed to lasso a small Rainbow. Had to cut off a massive tangle at Middlingbank on Eucumbene one evening and I let the now loose line just drift out in the water whilst we sorted out some stuff. I picked up the rod to wind in the loose line and setup again when all of a sudden I had a fish on! Was super confused and wandered if I had cut the wrong line or something but no, a small Rainbow about 30cm had swum through the loose line and somehow looped it around its tails. One very unlucky little Trout! Windy PS. He was released unharmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdanger Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Did you get a measure? Pretty sure this qualifies as a Fishraider record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aardvarking Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 My weirdest catch was a toad fish. Doesn't sound very weird until you consider the fact I caught it on a live yellowtail with 6/0 hooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smasher Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) I once caught a massive (50cm) flathead on a squid jig. It nearly swallowed it! Edited August 14, 2017 by Smasher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojulabah Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 The baker was 48cm - released - too many bones to eat, but they do make good snapper bait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveBM Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I once caught a cobia on a whiting I was winding in - it engulfed the poor thing so thoroughly I gut-hooked the cobia. Then after about 20 mins wrangling in shallow water and a trip to the beach from the end of the jetty, it turned out to be 2cm under legal at 63cm. That was definitely the most adrenaline-packed disappointment of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
