There's still a few yakkas and tommy roughs around, good fun on light gear but not easy to catch. Go really light, unweighted with tiny hooks. I think I talked to you on new years day. You need to stay away from those underwater green lights that everyone is using there, I don't know why people use ...

also to note. freshwater is a problem, lines pushing under the boat or way off to the side no matter the tide or wind. Very true!

Still a lot of garfish around landbased with a few sambos mixed in between

Water was muddy today but the gars were still around in good numbers at mordi. The salmon were hiding though

I won't eat Basa though. Good thing you can't catch them here.

Slimy mackerel is right up there in my list of favourites. Grilled with lemon and pepper, or Japanese style aged and marinated in rice wine vinegar. Only problem is finding them. They aren't easy to target because they show up randomly but inconsistently in ppb. If anyone knows where you can regular...

Mackerel icefish (I think). You are amazing, mackerel was the hint I needed!

Here's a really hard one. These fish were bought by my friend's friend's landlord from an online store. Could be from anywhere but my guess is its not Australian.

I was asked to id them but I'm completely stumped.

Sea carp. Not a dusky morwong
