Pickles Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) Buddy Steve and I had a session of Ben Buckler (60m mark), drifting for Flatties. I was using squid. Rig was 10kg braid, fb knot @10kg fluro leader to swivel, 10kg fluro dropper (4/0 Owner suicide hook) and no 4 snapper lead on bottom. I scored a PB butterfly Gurnard and sold 54cm Blue spot.

noelm Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 That’s a good size! Is that a Pike I see in the picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Ct Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Nice stuff Pickles, will be a good feed. Well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Well done Bob and Steve. Good to see that you got a few feeds of fresh fish. One of those Gurnard cost me a visit to the hospital at Toora in Gippsland when it spiked me while I was cleaning it. My hand and arm went black and the pain was severe. Cheers, bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) Latchet have bad spines (look just like a Gurnard) never been spiked by a Gurnard….yet. Mind you, the Gurnard caught in Victoria is a completely different thing, and spikes big time, similar to a Rock Cod.

Yowie Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Nice mixed bag of fish there Bob, and that is a big gurnard. Chunky fillets off that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Nice work Bob, that's the biggest I've seen. Did you measure it, it could be a Fishraider record 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how to find / enter size or records on FishRaider - @mrsswordfisherman has told me in the past, but tried and got confused, so let it slip 🫤 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiskey299 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Nice catch Bob! I know sashimi isn't for everyone but I don't mind having it eaten this way. It has a clean and almost sweet flesh, similar to flute mouth fish if you're into that. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume the pike went out again as the next trips bait ... or Rosie's snack? Cheers Zoran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
