Yowie Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Headed out early this morning. Ended up in South West Arm as the nor-wester was stronger than forecast, and would have been blowing against me where I originally planned to go. The only fish I kept was the red gurnard, and a yakka for bait strips. Bugger all there. Packed up after sunrise and headed to Maianbar flats. Pumped some nippers and the whiting turned up after a while. Enough for a few feeds, then headed home. School holidays lunatics about in small fast boats. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish move about, there one day, gone the next. A couple of tailor bites, undersized fish, and a few bigger splashes here and there, but nothing taking a lure.

Happy with the whiting, another one over 40cm in knee deep water. It weighed just under 1.5 pounds. The spot I wanted to fish early may have produced a pannie, but the new location due to the wind had bugger all of anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem I find with that size is that the rib bones are tough during filleting, and the skin is relatively thick so during cooking, the large fillets need to be skinned or small cuts made crossways in the skin.

I cut the pin and rib bones out and slice the fillets length ways for cooking. Gives you a few more slender fillets:) Did these in panko breadcrumbs with a bream fillet thrown in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also cooked in panko crumbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
