[LONEWOLF]

[Tomche]

Caught nothing, not even a bite.

 

[LONEWOLF]

So you went fish feeding... I do that often up here...

[Brumble-Gum]

Not a spectacular fish. A 38cm Grunter or Spotted Javalinfish.
But very unusual, where I caught it.
Caught just North of Coffs Harbour in NSW at a place called Red Rock.

 

[LONEWOLF]

Ah Red Rock... Caught many Jew Fish there.... Since moving away from Woolgoolga, I haven't caught a decent fish since...

Funny that....this was at Jewfish point!
Should be called Mangrove Jack after dark, point.
My old man lives in the area, biggest flathead I have ever seen was near this spot.

 

[LONEWOLF]

Most of the Jewies are caught off the Beach on the Southern side of the 'Red Rock', but you do get the occasional one that ventures up the creek...

I have seen some very nice Flathead caught there as well as some big Mangrove Jacks...
Same in Moonee Creek as well...

Mrs Wolf keeps reminding Me 'Who caught the Biggest Flatty' at Red Rock... :argh:

Dinner :drooling:

 

[HippyProspecting]

Have you ever tried battering you catch with salt and vinegar chips Dave?
Soooo good :drooling:

 

[Dave79]

No, but I will soon. Sounds delicious. Crushed cornflakes are good but I never thought of crushed potato chips, so many flavors to try too. Mmmmmmmm!

 

[goody2shoes]

Plus it is good on Flathead

Looks a bit different to the grunter / javelin fish we get in the north.did it "croak" looks more like a bream in body shape, but has the right spots and small head of a grunter.

 

[LONEWOLF]

They are Dave, quite Different to yours, and an unusual catch down at Red Rock...

Yes did make the typical grunting noise.

 

[AussieChris]

Yeah def a Javelin Grunter, Yellowfin Bream have a much more rounded head and the stepped dorsal fin is a give away.

Yellowfin Bream

Javelin Grunter

Either way, I'm tonguing for a feed of fresh saltwater fish! I miss spending almost every weekend out on the boat at SWR.

I have caught Jack's as far south as Korogoro Ck at Hat Head, after a few runs, you soon realise they are not lazy lizards.

 

[uttu kaos]

A quick sneaky couple of hours out off Rainbow beach at one of our marks and we got a nice little feed...Real happy about dinner tonight..

That's a great idea thanks goodie! I found out in recent years that I have a Gluten allergy. I'm even down to drinking gluten-free beer now as otherwise I end up feeling like crap. Next time I have fish fillets I'll give the salt and vinegar chip crumbs a go. :Y:

My youngest with his largest 520mm Fresh Water Bass.
Catch & Released last weekend.
Fish looks like pretty good condition from a Environment Friendly Area so it should be a good breeder. :Y:

My Oldest with his Mangrove Jack around this time last year.
