    Yes - like the pink ones on the cat plate - trout love them
    Although - from memory - they were almost transparent/glassy when we caught them and only turned pink when cooked

    Those ones on the plate were cooked and the boys ate them.Never really given them a try as bait fishing.

    Fantastic Dundee
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    No luck tonight as it was blowing like crazy again,when the dog and I got up too the quad on the top of the bank he jumped on and got blown off. Funny, wish I had the video going on my camera but it was a bit dark when we left.

    An eel swimming in the swell was interesting to watch.

    Possum trapper turned up just before sun down with a brand new fly rod from his possum fur pay day.

    I finished work and was home by 1652hrs, H&F close at 1700hrs. Quick hoon in the holden got us there on time before they shut. A ford wouldn't of made it on time. PT purchased a fancy bloody fly rod those things are over my head (literally)

    Got a couple off Aussie tourists coming fishing mid morning.The river was rising tonight but hopefully it will be clean when the fullas arrive.
    PT caught a 3.2 rainbow and a 2.1 brown on his new rod last night. His Grandad smoked the rainbow for PT,smoked trout for the lads lunch. And the brown was given to PT,s mate that came fishing last night.
