samjames95 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Apologies as I have been terribly lazy of late with no posts.. headed out on good friday with dad early off botany, with practically no wind and a very slight 1m swell going SSE. Fished in around 50m of water around reefs targeting snapper with a bit of luck; managed 4 pannies 32-38cm, with 4 morwong all of relatively decent size 50-55cm, an absolutely huge cuttlefish which weighed in at around 2.1kg, and what I think to be the best eating fish on the east coast a nice 32cm pearly. Plenty of throwback snapper in amongst that. We also saw a small Mahi Mahi come to the surface and circle the boat.. I've never seen one in so close within 2 miles of the coastline, which was a pleasant surprise, probably due to the water being 22.9 degrees so close in. Back home by 11, cheers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoingFishing Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Nice bag of fish mate ! That cuttle is huge how would u prepare that for cooking ?? I had a few small mahi circle the boat today in 40m of water and one even had a go at the tiny flatty coming up to the surface that i had just caught! Have to agree with your statement RE pearl perch...... a rare catch ! Only ever got two in 5 years of boat fishing off sydney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berleyguts Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Nice bag of fish, mate. I caught a tiny mahi-mahi (about 14” long and 2” deep) the other week in 35m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only ever got two in 5 years of boat fishing off sydney I'm actually freezing it and using it as snapper bait for the next probably 10 times going offshore because it is that big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
