jaffa 81 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Suspect this one will take a while to be outdone since they`re rarely seen or heard of in metro waters these days. Easily the biggest one I`ve seen or caught in over 45 years of fishing.Took a piece of squid while bottom bouncing for KGW. Length 42cm /Wejght 1kg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jaffa 81 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Have seen quite a few myself in West Lakes,we used to rent a lakefront townhouse & they seem to have done well in there but out in open water where I do most of my fishing they weren`t uncommon in years gone by. Now however they seem to be almost non-existent. Caught that one from a boat in 50 feet of water out from Footy Park. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jagger 24 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 bucket loads up the mouth/coorong. Used to spear them at night... in fact, might have to get back up there for a feed! mmmm.... flounder Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Leethal 1 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I have caught some good ones around west lakes but cant be bothered going through the archives to find the photos. Here is the last one caught in my boat by ben m, out of the port.And I still had to go through 12 pages of photos to find that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
