Port Hacking

[Yowie]

Headed out this morning, mostly wading about the flats at Maianbar though the tide was up a bit. Pumped nippers for bait. A few just under sized mixed with the legals, enough for a few feeds.

Quality bag of fish, good stuff as usual! 

Many boats on the water seeing that most people will be off work now?

Nice feed there and good to get out before the cowboys take over the river🤡

Thank you. A shite load of boats out and about, many heading outside.

Thank you. Yep, head out to beat the crowds. Sounds like you pulled out a nice feed as well.

Another top effort Dave - we’ll done (got my first whitting today in a long time, looking forward to eating it.)

Nice one Dave! You made the right call to chase the flats vs coming out offshore on a very uneventful day chasing kings. 
cheers Zoran

To say your consistent yowie is an understatement. I’m always interested to see what’s on the mat. As long as it’s not a cobia from a handline 😂😂😂

cheers scratchie!!!

Good to see you pulled out a whiting. They are worth eating Bob.

Thanks Zoran. If I did not have my chiro appointment, I would have been out there with you. A shame that the kingies did not co-operate.

Another great haul. Well done.

Thanks Scratchie. 

Looks like the warm water is heading down the coast according to the Weather Bureau graph. Might bring some tropical species with it, including a cobia or 2. 🤣

I actually had one circling the boat at Crowdy the other day. It wouldn’t take anything and I’m I gave it a smorgasbord to chose from. 😩

Well done as always mate.

You probably needed Zoran's plastic bonito.

Nice bag there mate!👍 
with the amount of fish your eating, must have a few good recipes to switch things up. Or do you just prefer baked, grilled & battered?

The whiting fillets were crumbed and pan fried (my son and his girlfriend like them that way) so do I now and then. Boneless fillets only at my place - bones don't worry me - the wife and others are not happy if eating anything with bones 🤪.

I do try a few recipes, usually with a sauce or flavouring, to keep the wife happy.

Have tried battering flattie fillets, but use a bit of oil during  cooking. The best place to cook them was on the bbq. Oil in a disposible foil tray, the splatter kept in the bbq, smell kept outside, cooked up rather nicely.
