Isaac Ct Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Headed out early yesterday with a mate around lilli pilli to try for a feed. Quite while dark and lots of just under reddies and the one legal at first light along with the tailor. Squid getting gurnard and snapper whilst the tailor took a pilly. A school of trevally came under the boat for a while but couldn't hook up. Pulled anchor after a while and moved to South West Arm for a bit which was very quite. On the way back we saw a big splash between SWA and lilli pilli so we chucked some metals which resulted in 5 salmon over 60cm. Back breaking work. Also managed the bigger tailor on the metal, just for scale the snapper is 30cm. Biggest salmon was 66, didn't get a measure on the tailor but would be in the fifties. 2 PB's for me. Friend was happy with the feed and personally I rate gurnard very highly. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Hornet Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Well done Isaac and congratulations on the 2 PB’s. I’m with you on the eating quality of gurnards too, though I haven’t kept one in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am going to try sashimi with it tonight and see how it goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Very nice, a good feed there. Action with the bigger salmon is hard work. Try them on a handline 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a few of them I was just lying down with a sore back and couldn't move 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
