Well done:cool:
That will be me in the morning.....baiting and untangling kids lines and rods :XD:
Nice haul there @madjon. Speaking of filleting, what are the best knives to use @vietnamcan etc.
Filetted our snapper and co tonight and our knives are shit.

Comm guys tend to use victory knives.
Hey @Danny sharp ones are best !!
With respect to gurnard I reckon just leave the skin on!!
It makes for easy filleting and with no scales on the skin it crisps up good & its really tasty :)
Did you load up on them today @VC, or to many kids tangles ;) ??
There heaps out there at the moment !!
I use this one and it is fantastic. VICTORY Fish Filleting Knife Stainless 22cm | Trade Me. I have used hundreds of filleting knives and filleted thousands of fish (maybe a slight exaggeration but it is lots) and this is the best I've come across.
Did we ever! kids were catching the buggers 2 at a time... we threw back anything under about 35cm and still landed 36!:o
As for knives yes a sharp one is best, for smaller fish like gurnard a commercial "trimming knife" which is actually the same knife as many butchers boning knife is good but for everything else I like a flexible 10-12" blade with a bull nose end on it.
Cheers, today i got limits of snapper, John Dory, cod and kahawai. Skippy or albies were everywhere which I figured was late in the piece.
I'll look at Victory knives again. I've recently moved house and I've lost a heap of gear. Blunt knives suck.

I've got a long Rapala stainless filleting knife which is good and a svord carbon steel which is good also. I tend to peel the gurnard and cook them hole cause the centre bones are a pain!
Have a look here matto they are no more difficult to remove than any other fish.
