Herring and Squid
Went out Friday Arvo to get a few Herring for fresh Dhuie bait come Saturday.
Got 14 herring and ate 3 that night.. yummo. but while there chucked out the squid jig and nailed 11 squid.. Double yummo..
As for Saturday Dhuie fishing, it was the worst day I can ever remember. Got 2 undersize Dhuies and about 10 friggin bolt cutters.. Some of them friggin huge..
Shifetd a dozen times but couldnt shake the pricks of things..
Just before we decided to head in we picked up a nice size YTK. 
Stopped off at North Tail in 10mtrs of water for some sand whiting on the way home and ended up getting 14 before the bloody Bolt cutters arrived and smashed us yet again..
Cant get over the amount of these friggin things around ATM.. Anyone else seeing these in numbers??
I've spent half my life fishing.. The other half I have wasted..

we struggled Saturday too, but persisted. about 2pm the fish came on the chew and the dhu's showed up in numbers.

Nice haul. Could just be me but that last pic looks more like a sambo or amberjack than a YTK

Nothing wrong with a fresh
Nothing wrong with a fresh bit of sambo....
Any fish will spoil pretty quickly if not properly looked after.
Nice catch mate, bet it tasted great!
