Yowie Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Headed early to Gunnamatta Bay for a change. Southerly blowing early on, a bit bouncy in the open water along the drop-off. Pulled the pike early in the darkness, thought it was a snook, but it did not have the stinky pike smell. Only managed one yakka, so cut off the fillets, then lengthways to make 4 baits. The 4 baits produced the bream and reddies, after that rather small chinaman jackets turned up and chewed off every bait, so headed for home. The crab grabbed a pillie before the jackets turned up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoingFishing Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Great work as always Yowie. That is a great estuary sized snapper ! Have you tried eating the pike or will he go back as bait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried eating the pike or will he go back as bait? Mum and the gang will eat it as fillets, along with the bream. The reddie fillets come home with me this time. Have not bothered eating pike (the thicker, yellower, stinky ones), though snook fillets are not too bad. It could be a snook. Sometimes can be hard to differentiate some of the thinner pike species with snook, though some fishos call the snook as pike regardless. This one was not stinky at all.
