You got some nice looking fish! Can’t believe all those fish are gone already.

well done mate!

I was out the bb fads yesterday the morning bite was a bit tough with alot of smaller fish. I went wide and stopped on the way back in and the water temp was 24.5 2 miles off the fad and 24 at the fad in the afternoon and it was firing with no boats except me. 

The bigger fish were all 200m off the fad north and south biggest 1m all over 95cm kept 4 and all caught in 40 mins.

Fish tacos (albeit with crumbed flathead fillets) have really won my wife over to eating fish every week

Very nice @Basil D

We have just started eating tacos again. So tasty they are. 

Swordie caught some sweet crabs recently and we should have tried a crab taco perhaps.

@Basil D crab pots put down at Berkeley Boat Harbour Wharf at Lake Illawarra just last week.

Freshly caught and eaten they were very tasty.
