  1. Thanks Croydon, but these were like very fine glass like fibres less than half a millimetre long.
  2. Just wondering if any other Raiders have experienced a similar problem cleaning fish. After a nice day on the water off Cronulla yesterday, i was cleaning a snapper and thought that the fish must have had sand in its stomach contents because my hands felt very gritty. After washing my hands i found hundreds of tiny glass like spikes in my hands and fingers. They are really hard to remove being so small and numerous. Is it something the fish has eaten ?

    What is this?

    Female blue groper. They will change sex (female to male)& colour (red/brown to blue) either with age or when a male leaves an area. Cheers, Scoop
  4. I'd have to agree with Iceman, baby Big Eye Trevally Cheers, Scoop
  5. Don't get me wrong, but I can never understand the logic when it comes to realising big fish or certain species of fish. If someone catches a large snapper, no one ever asks if it was realised. Surely these large snapper are also breeders too. but for some reason, if someone catches a large flathead & keeps it there are questions asked. Myself personally,I do not keep large flathead as I find them too tough to eat, but I do keep the odd Groper which some people find alarming. What is it about certain species & sizes of fish ? Cheers, Scoop
  6. Martin, I applaude you for your efforts & take heart that we have people with your dedication & experience going in to bat for the average fisherman & their children. We need a voice & I for one would vote for you any day. Thanks again. Cheers Scoop
  7. Great report Centrepin. Was wondering if you walk in from the main road or from the Bundeena end & approx how long does it take. Cheers, Scoop
  8. Mate I just googled Orange Fish Sauce & there are heaps to choose from. Have a look, hope this helps Cheers, Scoop
  9. I tend to agree with Mr. Squidy,the tailor around Sydney probably don't rate as well as those in Perth. The north nsw coast is far more productive if you are after large tailor & there are a few spots on the Central Coast which hold mega tailor at times. Cheers, Scoop
  10. There could be lots of reasons you are not catching much. In my experience, if you have live bait or very fresh bait, fish the tides to suit your target species & use the lightest lines possible you should be onto the fish. It also helps to know the area & make sure you are fishing where the fish are. Lures are effective but you need to apply a lot of thought as to what to use for the fish you are after. It may pay to join a club or ask some more questions on this site. Good luck, it will happen. Cheers, Scoop
  11. Couple of nice whiting there, Squidin. Mind if I ask what type of bait you were using ? Cheers, Scoop
  12. Thats a tremendous fish & well done in releasing it. Mind if i ask what you caught it on. Cheers, Scoop
  13. Also had a friend who has been over twice & trolled all day for zip, although they did catch a few small tuna, stripeys or bonito less than a couple of kgs average. From what he told me I don't think I would worry about it. Cheers, Scoop
  14. Sounds like you had a good 4 days fishing Chris. Always wanted to catch a Venus Tusk fish and I believe they are good eating. Have you tried it yet?
