ganymede Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 LCR is where I most often go kayaking - usually at the bottom end near fig tree. May I ask how far up you went to catch those? Planning to go there again on Sunday; would LOVE to hook into either of those critters cheers, and well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinkymalinky Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Great fishing. The monster Yellowfin Pike is actually a Snook (a.k.a Short-Finned Sea Pike). More fun, bigger... and a whole lot tastier Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strafisher Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 hi, thanks for the reply is it at the end of wharf road near the rocks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPSGT Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Its definitely a snook and a nice one at that! They are great eating as long as you skin them, and taste nothing like pike. If you skin them the flesh cooks up very white and very fine taste. Leave the skin on and they taste very very meaty and fishy, so most people who say they dont like snook have eaten the fillets with the skin on. They also taste nice coated in Tandaco Southern Fried Chicken seasoning - makes them taste like KFC Fish I've caught them over 4 feet long in SA, best in Sydney has been only 35cm... Looks like i might need to try the paravane in the harbour again... last time i got a very confused 75cm Kingy everytime it tried to go to the bottom, the paravane popped it back up the the surface and we just dragged it into the boat Snook usually are in bigs schools, so hopefully yours wasn't lost loner.
