Nah just a little fella my one.( 4/5 kg)......was just wrapped that i caught it whilst lazily flicking the lure whilst having a bourbon and cooking up some bits on the porta barbie cos i was hungry...nice little bonus for the hotplate on top of the snags and prawns..

what dates Shark bay? ..... fishing fiesta on next week so gunna be hopeless and too many ppl for next 2 weeks.... still catch fish but more of a pain in the a$$ with the amount of weekend warriors taking over the bay..

But yeah interested for sure..
 
Friday is looking good again in my part of the world. Swell is dropping and wind is from the NE. Have found a new lump and affectionately called it Vagina Dentata ...... It has a nasty gash right on top of it and can easily swallow you whole if you are not careful. Random breaking wave that is not cool to be looking the other way. Free dived this lump 5.6 metres and there were coral trout in a phalanx. Time for the fishes to be in my boat. :cool:

When the markets are down and the weather perfect there is only one thing to do and that is put the pots in and hit the bommies. One trout, 6 stripey perch, 3 sweetlip and 3 bucks from the creek. Yesterday and today.

Looks to be very shallow but nothing like carving some fibreglass onto the bitumen I suppose. :rolleyes:

Nice haul of what I call parrot fish there from the Abrolhos Group. A lot of parrot fish out on the Barrier Reef over here but they're more blueish in colour though of the tusk fish family. Been too windy and cool of late to go out anywhere. :)

LOL ..... 10mm aluminium bottom on jetboat so all good. Small water issue at my storage shed which ended up being nearly 240mm deep in parts. Just enough to float the boat.

The fish are from the same genus. Parrot fish in QLD have a "beak" and the Blue Bone Groper have "tusks". Both are extremely edible. YUMMY ! Have caught and eaten both kinds.

Weather here is obviously wet at the moment. Small window in about 3 days. :cool:
 
Nice dhu fish TS

Was a good weekend eagles beat the cats and then on saturday we got this feed.

Thanks TH. The ocean is free country. Waypoints I can take you to. To catch the product is a different matter. :cool:

Work? I have not worked a day in the last 5 years ...... It is enjoyment. ;) It just so happens that what I do many consider it to be "work" :eek:
 
Can't say I have seen anything resembling those dhu fish on the Great Barrier Reef while either diving or fishing. They look like they could devour a bus so a juicy whole pilly (sorry, mulie :)) would suffice I think. Question is though, are they good chewing?
