Being new to fishing, I was wondering what do you do with a cuttlefish?I caught one near Hallett Cove yesterday. It measured about 600mm and weighed about 5kg. Not knowing what to do with it, I released it again.

Mate they make excellent bait or they can be prepared for a delicious meal. They are slightly sweeter than calamari and need just as much care in cooking otherwise they can end up as tough as tyres :laugh::laugh: Plenty of recipes on the net for them.Like your fishing ethics though, if unsure release it.

One day I was going scuba diving on a local reef where we used to pick up a few cray fish. I was first ready and rolled off the boat. I had only just righted myself when I saw a huge cuttlefish (for these parts) heading straight for me. I opened my kill bag, held it in front of the cuttle and it swam straight into it. The guys in the boat couldb't believe it when I chucked my bag aboard and asked them to put the cuttle into the esky - I had only been in the water about 30 seconds! It weighed about 4kgs and provided us with some good meals!
