Thread: Spot X revisited

Few hours spent surf casting in the small hours today

On ice while I catch up on some sleep

Where to start ?

Not a bad result fishing off the beach though

A few feeds out a this lot ,deep fried snapper for dinner today .

That's a good effort from the beach!

What times dinner

Nice effort mate

Nice catch

Do you cook them skin on?
I only scale things going to be cooked skin on.

Yes VC always cooked skin on improves the flavor I think.
Deep fried tonight ,battered skin on.The guys at the local fish shop did a great job.
Left overs for lunch tomorrow .

Ok might have to give it a go, haven't tried snap skin on........mainly because I make such a bloody mess scaling fish

Good haul Chris.
Do you eat the skin??? Or do you pick it off through the batter?

I was given 1 of those double blade scaling tools from H&F does a bloody good job now days & so fast well worth the $10.
Works great on trout too VC .
Yes Gibo we eat the skin, seems to keep the fish a bit moist too not a bad thing.

Fresh hoki is twice the fish skin on as is flounder. tho you don't have to scale them

Trout are pretty safe from me Chris, I keep telling myself I will go and catch one properly some time soon but never do...... maybe something to do with the cost of a licence.

Those .308 cal; lures work great in mountain streams VC .
I wouldn't do a thing like that

No neither would I...... 303 nickel spinner that's how long ago it was.
