Cobbler
Submitted by Browndog on Mon, 2012-05-07 21:03
Hi All, new to the forum and giving the "adding pictures" thing a work out.
Anyway, if this works it should show a nice size cobbler I picked up while snorkelling down Point Peron way on a broken old gidgee with no jelly rubber, along with a few small sand whiting, made for a pretty nice dinner...
If I manage to catch anything worth showing off I'll be sure to take photos and post them up in the future.

solid cobbler!

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Thanks for the comments guys,
Thanks for the comments guys, I had a feeling it was above average size, definitely the biggest I have caught :) Same spot 1 week later was a very large flathead, couldn't quite bag that one, have now got the new jelly rubber fitted and haven't seen a fish there. Typical. I guess that's what keeps us coming back, you never know what's there...

With Cobbler, alot of people will say leave it 1 night before eating, or they are a bit floury tasting....Nice catch, decent whiting to!
I love fishing. It`s escaping reality for a few hours for me!
