He makes good coffee, but it's a bit pricey. Then again, he has the overheads running an expresso machine and fridge on a small dory, plus his fuel costs. The cafe at the southern end of the Spit Bridge is good too, and cheaper. Just pull up on the beach at their back door!

Whiting make excellent sashimi. Best I ever had - reeled it in, killed the fish, knocked a fillet off within 3 mins of the capture. Felt a bit primal, but bloody hell it tasted good

Best response I saw in the Herald this afternoon - reintroduce commercial fishing. That'll keep the baitfish numbers down and help control the number of sharks. I see stupid people. They're everywhere. They don't even know they're stupid.......

That lure's seen some work Good investment

Gee, only $1,522 USD Ouch!!! http://www.plat.co.jp/shop/catalog/product...21f4fbc02610673

I've heard rumours over the years of Jacks in Queenscliff lagoon and Narra lake. The QL ones supposedly died off after a pesticide spill at the golf course upstream. Mind you, some scientsts have indicated Jacks could well extend their range south as water temps increase. There is an upside to global warming!! Bring on the jacks

Damn, he makes that look so easy. I'm going to have to practice, but I think I get it. Thanks yarraone.

Thanks Josh! That was quick. I'll give that a try.

Morning all. I've finally managed to crack the squid code and I'm pulling them in in reasonable numbers now (thanks to Slinky and other raiders). I've worked out how to rig them, dispatch them, freeze for bait, cut strips and so on. What I'm struggling with is how to clean the buggers. Getting the (multiple) layers of skin off is an exercise in frustration, and it's taking way longer than I think it should. Does anyone have any tips they could share for cleaning squid effectively and efficiently? Any help appreciated! Ta, Ben

Whitmores sell them at Gladesville. I just put some in the Hornet.

You're a star Roberta! I reckon those whiting would be staying in my live well with a firm dinner invitation though......

Ask Ceph - he's the expert on sunken tackle

Keep at 'em adzzy! Bugger the marina nazis

Fish sanctuary my ass. It's a public waterway. You can't own the water. They're just concerned about me dinging the hull of their precious floating gin palaces with my jig heads Diddums

Thanks adzzy. You pre-empted my next question
