    A mate caught a good one this morning so I thought I would give it a crack this afternoon and got lucky. Never really targeted them in the river before so pretty happy to get one. About to crank up the bbq and see how it tastes. It looks and feels like really good meat but I have never caught a fish that is such a dark colour before.

    If it looks good it will be good.
    I think that colour is just showing it has been in the river a while

    I'm just curious, caught on an egg imitation? or other? and at what time of the day?

    I've been down there twice, both times in the middle of the day with a campervan full of, millennial prayer phone adherents, and therefore have had no luck. Next time I'd like to be prepared.

    Skinny old brown destined for the smoker. It was a really cool stalk to get this one.
