blaxland Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Lovely conditions today off Sydney light winds with low swell. Took a mate to a spot described to me as 60 meters deep can just see old mans hat. First drop drift a bit quick so threw out the drogue. Next drop came up tight on a nice pan sized Snapper. We ended up with a feed including a bluespot and a mowie. Using pilchard on paternosters, also released a pretty red gurnard. The bight went off so we looked around only to find a cuttle at mugs reef and some Aussie salmon at North head . My mate was stoked as he had not caught a snapper for years and had a doughnut last outing. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyFil Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Nice mix of fish on a very pleasant day to be on the water. That salmon looks to be the better size for eating, not chewy like the bigger ones, although you already had a good box of quality fish so no need on this occasion but worth remembering.

GordoRetired Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I believe that those cuttle fish make really good King fish bait. Good feed there. Well done. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favourite family recipe is just cut into pieces kind of like chips, rolled in some flour and cooked quickly in hot oil…….yum. Now and then we might do a “salt and pepper” meal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were able to match the colours of ocean bottom that they swam over pretty much instantly, and could even mimic the patterns of sunlight coming through the water; absolutely extraordinary to see. Ditto octopus. If I ever catch a squid though, he's toast! (Well....bait.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
