Some nice Lujanids

I just got back from a short but enjoyable trip. The weather severely curtailed our plans but we managed to sneak out to a few inshore spots for some good fish.
We managed some big Herring in the cast net and as soon as my Livie touched down I was on. The end results was a Fishwrecked upgrade to beat Nicko's Large Mouth Nannygai. At 91cm and 11.5 kilos it's a big one but I'm sure Nikko will upgrade it in time!!

We went back along the headlands then to hide from the Northerly and got stuck into some cracking Fingermark.

They took both live herring and squid. The Squid were good quality and the Fingermark thought so too.

My biggest went 84cm which is also a FW record so it was a good night. All 7 Fingermark boated were sizeable fish with the largest at 85cm and 8 kilos. The smallest would have been just under 70cm. It included a couple of double hook-ups.

Slaying it again! Mate if

Slaying it again! Mate if ever you are in need of a deckie.....

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.

Fingermark that size

Thu, 2014-05-08 13:08

Possible ciguetera. Main culprits Chinaman and certainly redbass, also some big trout (). However Jumbo fingermark are a risk, as are huge spanish macks - end these fingermark IS Jumbo.

I thought this wasnt exxy etc as I have never caught a fingermark approaching those horses off dampier or Broome.

Docs have to find a cure to the dreded dinoflaggelet's that cause the toxin buildup
