Fine mesh net on a long pole and the best light you have. 2-4 days after a new moon. In June, July, and August. Out going tide at night. If land based you'll need a westerly wind to help blow them to the shore.Sam.

Beautiful looking Squid :woohoo: . Scary how big your fingers looks :whistle: .

Nice topic Jack, good reading.Summer started with a bang for my son and me as we were LUCKY enough to be on the crazy charter day organised by S&H member Shauno, so I caught my 1st (2nd, 3rd....) big Snapper and my 1st big Snapper on a soft plastic :woohoo: . I’ve been on the soft plastic learning curve this summer, a very steep curve and one that I’m only at the bottom of , but I have managed to land my 1st legal land based Bream, Flathead and Snook and my 1st (not legal, yet) land based Snapper, 33cms, all on a soft plastics :cheer: . Also managed to get a few feeds of Gar and Crabs. IMHO one of the best things about summer in SA is to be able to chuck in a net/rake and get a feed of Blueys, Crabs and beer the perfect combo, yum yum . So it was a good summer, lots of 1st achieved, but plenty more to keep me out fishing .

Nice fish Jack. :woohoo: Looks like 1m+ and 20lb+ to my very uneducated eyes. :pinch: If you had claimed it was 102cms and 9.1kgs(ie 20+lbs) I don't think anyone would have doubted that it was, and :c them if they did.

The photo that bangs8 put up of the green fish on the jetty is without a doubt a male senator wrasse (Pictilabrus laticlavius). I come across them all the time when i dive. The female of this species is red/brownish. Judging by the development of this particular fish I'd say it was still quite young. The colour of these fish is quite impressive when they are underwater

Senator Wrasse?

Nice work mate. Good to see a few land based blueys being caught, they look like they're a good size. Gotta love a feed of fresh crabs. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

No worries,i've kept them for up to 3 months.With large fish i freeze them with scales on and use a bow saw to cut off cutlets as required. cheers brenton
