Pickles Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 I haven’t been fishing for Blackfish for over a year and had an invite from my buddy Gazz to join Marty for a master class on Luderick. It didn’t need much thought and pal Steve, was happy to drive. It was his first time on “the Lud’s” and I was happy to supply all the gear (got lots of blackfish “stuff”). I tied up a bunch of flies (Tiewell “green ice”) and Marty sourced some cabbage. We got our bag limit in a few hours - releasing anything under 35cm (as well as a few that were dropped). Enjoyed fresh blackfish fillets, cauliflower “steak” with garlic, lemon and olive oil marinade, snow peas and carrots, onions cabbage - all from garden. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up eating luderick and if handled welol they are a good (and underrated) eating fish. They also put up a good fight on light gear 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little_Flatty Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Nice work Bob. I myself have been tying up a storm, a variety of weighted and unweighted weed flies in everything from chartreuse to olive to brown. Easy to tie once you get the hang of them and therapeutic to have a tying session too. Now to wait for earlier sun rises or daytime leave passes so that I can fish for them during my dawn sessions! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Very well done Bob and crew. Luderick fishing is (arguably) my favourite form of fishing...float first, fly second. Good to eat too IMO. Great to see you getting out after your arduous "parenting duties" have been successfully handled. Cheers, bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add insult to injury I lost three flies and a leader to the oysters. Ah well back to the tying bench… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
