Slawman Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Hit the water around 8 this morning with my daughter. I like to ask exactly the kids what we are going for before we leave to see if I can get some buy-in (does not always work). Today we were going for Squid and Leather Jacket as my daughter loves both of them fried with a bit of flour. Had a flick along the west side of the harbour for not much then hit a few (3) around the Obelisk; Safe and sound in the tank. Always have trouble dropping these things in as bait......as far as I am concerned they are prime dinner table fare but dropped one at the barrel and lost most of it to pickers before heading to Sow and Pigs for a few Leather jacket. I swear these things are related to Piranha..... Could not raise any Yakkas for the life of me?? Home for a great feed of Salt and Pepper Squid and LJ. Truly underrated these LeatherJacket, what a sweet little morsel and no tiny bones either.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coswecanfly Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Thanks for a good report. Leather jacket is my families favourite eating fish and there are so many of them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oz98 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Is it true that seafood taken out of the WEST side of the harbour bridge is not to be consumed? just read up on it and it says only caught from the east side are safe to eat. Not trying to stir the pot, just thought Id put it out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not eat anything caught too far upstream beyond the harbour bridge either. Union Carbide has a lot to answer for.... https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fishing/recreational/fishing-skills/fishing-in-sydney-harbour Edited June 25, 2019 by Slawman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we need to catch more which makes the decision easier Sounds like some great school holiday fun and no doubt great memories for you both.
