Narrows Occy
Submitted by Rudog on Tue, 2010-09-14 08:39
Jagged this with a 20g Halco slice in the shallows under the Narrows the other night on 6lb mono. Had to coax it close enough to gaff by poking it with the tip of my other rod!
Now sitting in the fridge pickling, yum!
Anyone else seen these creepy critters this far up-river?
(Sorry 'bout the pic, night time with mobile phone...)

That's a big occy mate, well done.
They look like something out of a b-grade horror flick I reckon. Foul looking things.

Solid Occi
Big occi. I dive the river a lot for prawns and have never seen one.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.
