JimC Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I grew up 2 minutes walk from the road/ rail bridges. Pulled many a luderick out of there but I think it is all sanded up there. Is there any depth around there now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfish Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I'd agree with Bluefin. Common Stargazer "Kathetostrom laeve" Cool catch. Though I'm not sure how Bluefin knows its names Howard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSB Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Yep stargazer, and a reasonable sized sucker to, they are excellent eating if you know how to fillet them correctly, hope you put her back though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatT Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) Thanks folks! Star gazer, what a strange looking fish It was a decent size indeed! Yep put it back to be caught another day. 54 minutes ago, JimC said: I grew up 2 minutes walk from the road/ rail bridges. Pulled many a luderick out of there but I think it is all sanded up there. Is there any depth around there now? Around the pylons has some depth, I saw a bloke pull out no less than 12 legal luderick yesterday so it’s still a great spot There’s a few channels out towards the mouth with some smaller flatties there this week as well :-) Edited March 25, 2018 by PatT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
