Yowie Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Headed out early this morning near Lilli Pilli. Fish strips produced the trevally, red rock cod and the small crab. Not much else about and no surface action that I could see. It was a sandy bottom, so don't know what the cod was doing there, could have been moving between rocky haunts. Sent out a live yakka for swimming practice, but nothing touched it. Moved to Maianbar flats after the tide had been rising for a while, pumped some nippers for 2 whiting, then a massive amount of kelp rolled along the flats and rolled into my line a few times and caused a few tangles. The kelp had probably broken away from outside after some big seas, and when that happens it quite often rolls into the entrance and up the Hacking. Fished elsewhere for the other whiting and bream then headed home. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Thank you. Daughter took the trevally fillets to make fish patties, so I'm left with the whiting and cod fillets. Edited December 11, 2018 by Yowie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rock cod fillets were small but chunky, bread crumbed and pan fried with the whiting. Washed down with a bottle of Riesling, quite tasty.

Bardy Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) Rock COD is poor man's lobster.. Very nice white firm flesh.. Well worth the effort of filleting and skinning. I get them fairly regularly outside of the Hacking, never done so inside... It may have been a little lost Yowie Edited December 13, 2018 by bardi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
