Peelin 0 Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 lol @ the blind mullet, not good eating there.Only thing I can add is those little mudskippery things that sometimes infest the pat.Oh and those black and white striped morwong, sometimes get called magpie perch.Seems if you catch it in SA it might just pop up in westlakes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
