Yowie Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Headed out early this morning past Lilli Pilli into the deep. The tailor early on, then the reddies turned up pinching all baits - pillies, tailor, squid strips. 3 that just made size, not much to show for a couple of hours, but something to take home. Fresh fish, better than buying it. No yakkas to catch. Sammy the seal was lazing about on the surface for an hour or more, but stayed away from my boat. A few salmon buzzing about after sun-up, followed a metal lure but no takers, so headed home. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Ct Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Good work Yowie, managed a feed in the end. Seems to be a bit of a lull in the fishing with the small differences in the high and low tides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little_Flatty Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Nice work Yowie! I’d be happy with your version of ‘quiet’😎. Good feed there. Maybe Sammy the seal had an effect on the number of fish present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the tailor, I eat them sometimes, which is what is happening with this one. Filleted, avocado/lemon topping, fillets baked, served on mash with veges. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always enjoy reading your update on fishing in Hacking. Cooking the catch is standalone skill and that is where the "average" fish can get some bonus edibility stars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkin Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Always manage a feed Dave! 👍 Not many yakkas inside at the moment - outside there’s a few schools on the reefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spotted a few whiting cruising about on the run back to Gunnamatta, around the Lilli Pilli flats. Had a swim at Eloura today, a few waves were dumping as the tide was dropping. The sand was churning up, and a fair distance off the shore. A few whiting cruising about, not big ones, and you would need half a house brick to keep your bait out there. 🤣 Edited October 12, 2023 by Yowie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the big ones, under the 45 mark, or 40 and below are best. Only just size reddies, nothing like your off shore ones, but happy to have a feed of them.
