Nice one TJR. Can't complain about 3 for the season so far. I'm still on a big fat zero for mullas this year, probably help if I actually put in some time trying for one instead of throwing lures at reefs.
Your assuming a set of scales was used. Maybe it's because near enough is good enough when it's not a certified set of scales or maybe TJR might have gone weight for length or maybe he just couldn't be stuffed typing the extra few hundred grams either way. It really doesn't matter, why can't you just congratulate the bloke on a good catch without being a jackass?
I left about a hour after I spoke to you on your way back in, no more were caught in that time. Wouldn't have suprised me if one of the usual suspects got one later on. I'll be out the end tonight going for a squid also, got to replenish the bait supply, see you out there mate.
I was out there and saw the scales and weight no assumption just thought members wanted actual not near enough as other posts on topics have indicated and I did say good fish.
That was on a uncalibrated digital set straight out of the box I weighted it twice before hand on a mechanical set of scales that has been used a dozen times before. I don't trust cheap digital scales straight from the box made in China. I go with the scales I trust.
Edit : have had other guys who have come through the shop who also told me not to trust those type of cheap digital scales. Mechanical scales are the way to go so I have been told quite a few times.
I got two couple of months both at 7pm consecutive nights live bait. My mate just dropped into my house then he got one tonight at 8 right at end of jetty weighed 18kg some other guy caught one as well so thats two tonight

The art of fishing consists of casting, winding, trolling and jigging
while freezing, sweating, swatting and swearing.

great fish!
great fish!
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.
