    Old guys used to catch them on a rod and line with a small hook using sand-hoppers as bait.

    Thanks for the confirmation. Thought that might have been a butter fish when you were spearing. Knew they were a popular target but had not seen them.

    Good job mate. The ACL injury is a complete bastard and you’ve done well to recover and get back out there. It’s an injury that has finished off a lot of guys and can be very tough on the mental health, something I’m helping my neighbour with right now after he ruptured his ACL a couple of years ago. And then two months ago fell off his farm bike and ruptured his Achilles.... not good.

    I would love to get a look at the venison sausage recipe if you don’t mind sharing, will PM you. They look bloody good.

    Yeah the ACL is an asshole to recover from, I am stubborn though and started running again after 8 months from surgery, Its pretty much 100% now. Yep will message you with my recipe etc.
    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
