I was trying for everything lol had all the types of bait under the sun . We hit a school of baby flatties but after kissing and throwing back the first 20 you sort of had enough lol.

Went out today just come home. Spent 13 hours cruising around the hawksbury, cowans creek, baranjoey heads, flint and steel, patonga, lion island, the 3 wrecks and all we got was 2 yellow tail for livies. Whats happened to all the fish....

Hi Guys, I am off tomorrow to fish these areas has anyone got any helpful hints? Or have you been there and know if the fish are biting in these areas? Lets us know thanks.

Thanks for the info got a150 yammy doing 4 knots and seldom hook a king lol must remind myself to slow down lol

If you could tell us how many km per hour were you trawling at for the kings?

Found pike eel for sale in the markets 11.99 per kilo lol. Next one I get will be smoked thanks for the suggestion was havinb that idea on many a eels. Btw for us new guys smoke to a couple of old knowledgeable blokes, they told me when u start catching these eels the water is to cold. You need to go elsewhere. If the water is a tea colour move. If you see a lot of jellyfish move. If you catch the yucky tedpole catfish move. What say you?

you need a good fillet knife there is lots of bones to get rid off. Yes its tasty yum.

Thank you Here you go thanks again . Regards Blackdragon

Nice one Plummo boy. Mine was around the same size I would say maybe smaller depending on how tall you are lol. Did you find there was soooooo much bones in this eel lol. Meat was good. It was a great recipy that I will keep in my rep from now on Thanks Leonardgid. I got rid of the slime by actually freezing it then wash under water and the slime came off. A wife's tail that worked. Thanks for your other suggestions I got to it before the post . As promised I have cooked it. Here is the pic. Hmmmm how do you post a pic lol. haven't done it in such a long time.

Sorry guys I was revering to your title instead of your names lol apologies

That's why I am eating mine, trying to take them of the gangs that I use makes it worth while. Flathead what would be the best way to de-slime the thing? I will post a pic of the dish as soon as I cook it with the pic of a cold one . Thanks heaps for the tip. Ya mackerel I had yellow tail too. I think my heart was beating more with the fight in the boat rather then on the line lol. ( being my first Pike eel ).

nice one mate . jew setup next time.

the meal looks awesome and you arranged it to rival a sashimi chef lol awesome mate. I better pull my lures out of the closet.

True thanks for the advice. it looked meaty and the old folks worried me u know. It also wasnt on my boat limit chart so i went cools. For poisonous thats why i am asking the wealth of knowledge in fishraiders . I like eating stuff I havent before. Also now i can add another catch to my tally Pike Eel lol.

Btw for our raiders out there. If you ever land one of these becareful. They try and bite you out of water. Took a rubber priest and a wooden spoon to put it on ice. I wooden like to be the spoon . It was toast. But it was fun to see grown man aka friends huddled on oneside of the boat while you deal with this agro.
