Those catsharks are cool little critters also.
Thanks Brett. I actually don't think they were gillers, they were very quick and eratic. But who knows, maybe fired up gillers. Definitely worth a cast though.

Those guppies take me back to my schooling days when i used to breed them at home. Black whale tails were quite in demand
Thanks Steve. Haha the black whale tails bring back some memories, I always had a soft spot for them.

Thanks mate, it's not all available yet. I did my thesis by publication and am still trying to get a few of my papers published. Here are links to a couple that have already been published:

Great report, one of the best I've seen! And congrats on your thesis mate!
I have to ask? Bar the flatty and the banjos what were all those other fish you caught in WP at night? Strange looking creatures for sure
Cheers

Thinking more of baits that can't be cast ;-) might need to dust off the kayak :a_goodjob:

Great stuff Pat,
4 years of studying while fishing, who said life wasn't meant to be easy :tongue:
I have trouble writing a letter, let alone 200 pages
You certainly deserve accolades :super: :super:
Get on to (uncle) Dave and get that big reddie

Cheers Gra
