You want a hand to fillet it I HAVE A KNIFE :D
Would have made a nice livey for a bigger one
Looks like you smoked its ass anyway
Is that it Toby? Bout what I been catching they're a bit slow getting started again, got enough for a fritter this morning (a very very small fritter)
I've had about 4-5 pints so far. Heard a couple guys who have caught 10L another fella yesterday got 40L
A extra 2m of water in the river here after the thunder storm over night,didn't really expect much.
End of the month they should be going here ,just normal
Been 4 hours this morning in pissing down rain nothing, went to the river mouth, just got back actually and caught 1. So about 5 hours of whitebaiting got me a single whitebait lol
That is better than my trout attempt tonight.:( How far inland do these whitebait go? I'm pretty sure we don't get them this far inland.
Stake out a set of the missus pantyhose Dundee. You never know your luckQuote:

My camera or your eyes ?
I'm only just over a km up river from the mouth and got a kg yesty. Half of it was gutty.
As the river drops they must pour out of the lower side creeks after a few days in the river.
If I wasn't so desperate for a fresh feed I would have tipped it back in the river.
You must be getting decent run bait for it to be clean that far up I would have thought.

I'm 14km up and they are good, I know of guys who catch them 25km+ up and they are still good.
I have a choice new set up I cant wait till they start running
Had my first feed last night had some donated!!
We do get some good runs R93 but haven't really go going yet,lot of wet weather.Often its the end of sept; before they start.
A lift of 4kg in the trap is nice to see but not often get that, 4 or 5kg is my average per day when they're running.
The new stand is a unknown yet but time will tell .
It is slow here on the Hoki at the moment. Bit around before opening so that bodes for a good season.
Bit around down south now, so I will head down soon.
5kg lifts eh? I would be happy with 5th of that at the moment.
Have had lifts in the 20-40 range in my time tho

How many pints to a kg? Or how many liters?
I watched a guy fill his 20L bucket once then a bit more in the next bucket in one go. My dad helped take the bucket to the water so it didn't rip his net pulling it out. I was in front of him with a scoop net and I got 10L and my dad shared the same net got 10L too. My best ever day with my dad I'll never forget that. When we left the guy behind us had about 42L haha
4kg fills a 2 gallon bucket Toby with about 1 inch to top. Don't know about pints sorry,just pack in 250g bags .
I'd be happy with 100g at the moment R93 ,maybe Saturday .
Just over 2 pint to make a liter
You N Islanders are backwards.Quote:

This is the first year I've heard of people weighing it haha. Gadgetman informed me of that.
Ahhh, those calculations lead me to believe that we dont weigh it because we don't often catch enough to make a kg!!!!
Na. What ever blows your hair back mate. I have never heard of it measured in volume.
Catch a pint and weigh it. Be interesting to see how close it is to 600 grams

Catching a pint is the challenge here. All this week including sunday from last week I have probably had 2-4 hours each day after school and managed just over 1 pint
Missing school tomorrow gonna get to the river before 7 try catch the tide, hope they start running soon.
6 -8 pints =good days baiting . :beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:
Yeah I had one pint today:ORLY::beer:

It's quite nice that stuff. Had a bottle with a couple taken out rolling round the back of my ute last week, hit the brakes and the thing smashed under the seat. Its fair to say my truck smells like a brewery now. :sick:Quote:
