Another Hale road visit

Gday All,

Just a quick one on last friday - the forecast got it wrong, was meant to be a easterly but ended up being a howling Southerly which chopped everything up. an old fellah came back in as were going out in his tinny, was not happy at all with the conditions in his little tinny.

So decided to go to the old faithful Hale road - suprising not many wrasse around, just got a couple of Sambos and the usual skippy that kept us busy most of the day, nothing special but a couple of pics below, the second one was me loosing something a little different i think, had a couple of inexperienced deckies on board (POMS from work), didnt get there lines up quick enough tangled and snapped - they proceeded to tell me later after a few beers that i gave them a spray about it haha - but was alot bigger than the sambos that were around, was not happy.

hoping the weather is a little better this friday so we can head up to two rocks again and get some good fishing in.

 

Cheers all

i thin it depends on the size

i think it depends on the size of the fish.  apparantly the smaller ones are ok, when they get bigger they have parasites in the flesh which turns it mushy...

 

I'm still not game enough to eat one....
