Flangies new finger puppet - Mewstone to Garden Island report
Took James out for a run in the dinghy to Mewstone today to have a crack at some tailor in the wash. Wasn't any tailor action, but James was giving the herring a hiding and I even managed to catch one on soft plastic, a first.
We had some fun here and anchored up a bit later with some burley James got more herring and I got a nice 40cm skippy + some shit fish.
With a few herring and a skippy in the esky we went to carnac for a squid. The action was not hot, but we had 5 good ones in two drifts before heading to the weed beds off Petrov Bay on Garden Island. Again a slow start but there were some hot patches with multiple hookups in quick succession. James boated one of the biggest squid I have ever seen, what a beauty. We knew it was good, because it was taking drag, which when tightened James looked over at me and goes 'Shit, I cant lift it'.
I thought we had bagged out on squid when we headed back to the ramp but only had 27 in the final count, which I put down to them being slippery and inky.
So, 27 squid, 11 Herring and one Skippy and back to the ramp by 3ish.
Dinner is a work in progress:D
My take of the squid = 1.6kg tubes after cleaning.

Yum
Those tubes look sweet, nice report. How do you cook the squid ?
I usualy cut it up and fry in the wok with garlic and chili.
Cheers Grant.

Looks like a good feed gents!
But it seems that young James couldn't produce a tailor at Mewstones despite my many lessons out there? Very disappointed.......LOL
