Swan River - Monster Cuttlefish
Submitted by JohnSorrell on Wed, 2010-03-24 10:04
Unreal weather last night, so ended up out on the swan for a quick fish on the kayak... Must be all the fresh water mixing up the river after the storm because within a couple of hours i caught about 30 tailor and 5 black bream (all released)... choppa tailor were everywhere, smashing lures almost before they hit the water... Ended the night after i hooked this monster in shallow water, while trying for squid... I've never seen cuttlefish in the river before so was a bit shocked.... weighed about 2.2kg... time for some cuttlefish curry... mmm... or cuttlefish stuffed squid ...

Sounds like a cracka session. I've walked away from tailor sessions at this time of year with the fish still biting. Good chance to take photos of fish on every lure that your tackle box holds.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

don't curry it...
cuttlefish is delicious. fry it lightly like squid, the quicker the better.

nice size cuttlie, but as Bod said , dont curry it as you will kill its natural sweet taste. lightly flour it and cook in a pan with butter. absolutely delicious. BTW, well done on the session on the water in the yak.
