Nothing wrong with your filleting skills Bugatti! I am fishing a nearby creek tomorrow and should break the fish drought.
Cheers

G'day Mr Fool, we all have gone fishing and caught nothing. No one better knows about catching nothing than myself, so much so, that I have got it down to a fine art of nothing. In fact, my prowess of catching nothing, also is reflected in how I come home with nothing and the subsequent catch of nothing being sorted.

I have a few tips, if you have caught nothing, that this is the best way of dealing with a catch that comprises of nothing.


First an incision under the gill rakers, there's nothing to it.

Then a with a clean smooth motion, an incision along the backbone. With a sharp knife it would feel like nothing's there.


IMG_20190218_155921p.png



Over the backbone, to the other side, to remove the fillet, leaving nothing behind on the carcass.


IMG_20190218_155924p.png



As far as any bones in the fillet, there should be nothing, so off with the rib cage.

To de-skin your fillet, pin the tail with your thumb nail and slide the knife under the flesh but above the skin. See, nothing to it.


IMG_20190218_155931p.png



Making sure there is nothing left of the skin.

Vwalla, a fillet of nothing , , , , mmmm yummy

And what better way to wash down a hard day of catching nothing , , , , Jacks, and like your catch, should always be kept on ice

Good way to end the day

I went to an air show exhibition once... And there was nothing.
Literally just a thin air.

I went out last Wednesday on a mission to break the donut run...but failed! Was hoping for a native fish but reality was the likely catch would have been carp. Previous attempts (this season) to get yabbies and shrimp from this creek have been dismal but this time I tried deeper water and wasn't disappointed.

There was no shortage of water coming down the creek, driven by irrigation demand.

This is vastly different to the Seven Creeks, which I fished a nearby channel the previous week.

Anyway, bites were slow on Wednesday and when I did get a decent hookup from a carp, I stuffed it as I wasted a couple seconds stuffing around on my phone!

Remains undaunted by the current fish drought!

Went off on a yabbie hunt yesterday so thought I may as well throw a line in and catch some carp. They would have come in handy as well for use in the yabbie nets. In four hours of fishing you would think one could remove some carp from here!!!!

Yeah........nah! Not one bite that I saw. I was using shrimp for bait and this usually works here....actually, anything normally works here! The barometric pressure was high (around 1024 hPa) and dropping for a while then rising. Anyway...there is always next time.

Taking donutting to a new level!
