I always gut my fish and inspect stomach contents. Sometimes they are full especially if I am burlying other times they have nothing at all in the stomach, especially true with flathead. So there are definately times when the fish are in feeding phases and other times when they definately fast. As to wether its the moon phase I havent noted but maybe I will. Very interesting.

Too close to the full moon I think. Been keeping a log for years and 2-3 days either side of full or new moon dont seem to produce that well....

With Kingfish, Tuna etc the trick is not too overcook. Leave the skin on, generously salt and pepper , fry skin side down and cook until turns white almost to middle, flip and similar . If only just cooked to the centre or slightly raw, fish will be moist and tasty. Fry some onion beforehand and remove then throw them on top, drizzle olive oil and lemon juice to serve. Works well with pink salmon too.

Only thing left to do is teach the dog to Fish

Wow, A good sized Kingie and looks like a pretty big shark too!!!! Where did the action take place? Live yellowtail bait as usual?

Here is the problem, all these conspiracy theorists who refuse to get vaccinated or wear masks, stay at home and stage illegal gatherings and marches, when they catch the virus and inevitably spread it and potentially lead to the death of some people and also extend this lockdown which affects everyone. These irresponsible fools will expect to be treated in taxpayer funded Government hospitals, and claim welfare payments for a virus they believe is fake or inconveniences their liberty. People who do not get vaccinated or adhere to the lockdown rules should not be treated in public hospitals.

Hi Pickles, Very nice to meet you on Thursday and thanks very much for the yellowtail, You encouraged me to sign up so here I am. I tried a little longer at Clifton with no luck so I went out to the old man's hat, few drifts with the livies and hooked a couple of hard fighting 60cm kings, great fun but no dinner. Collected my crab pots from Rose Bay later and only 1 female with eggs returned. Has been very poor with crabs this year, not sure why? Cheers Ross
