Panga should be able to help u here, he's a bit further up at James well, but still on the funny side of the gulf.

The sauce is the hero, so why not? Better with green prawns obviously but if that's all u have......

Hell, make it three bottles and have a party 😂😂😂👍

As a retired chef (amongst other things), one of the most popular dishs on my menu was a simple sweet chilli prawn dish served on rice. So simple it's stupid! In a frypan add a tub of cream, pinch of chicken stock powder, splash of white wine for the pan and a big slug for yourself, and a couple of good shakes out of the sweet chilli sauce bottle. Bring to boil then let it reduce till thick and yummy. Once ready use another frypan really hot, splash of olive oil, dob of butter then throw in shelled raw tiger prawns, flip the pan around a bit so they don't stick, turn once , don't o

When I was young and used to wade for crabs due to NO boat we kept things simple. One used car tyre tube, jamb a 10 litre plastic bucket in the centre and attach a light rope to it and other end around your waste. Was cheap and easy. Thing to remember is the bulkier you make it the more room it takes in your car. With this you just let the air out and throw it in the boot. Never tipped over on me when on the water, and would be easy to clamp a rod holder to edge of bucket, and you could cut a portion of the bucket lid off giving you an opening to put your fish in as well as a surface to it y

Check out Panga's post on bloodworms. He cleans up last night

Panga, you sound like me with the computer. 😂😂 I used to be quite efficient but since my 5 kids now get on there I have problems. It's not that I don't know how to do it, it's I don't know where anything is amongst all the kids crap on there. Used to have a few hundred photos and generally easy to find what your after, now that there is 14,500 + it's a nightmare!!!! Will be home all week if u do happen to come to the dark side. As for fishing I wish I was at Broome right now. Came back from doctors and got inspired from a great article in the coffee table mags. Sunshine, Barra,

To me this is my busiest time of the year for fishing as I regularly go out 2 to 3 times a week chasing KG's. Loss of licence has ended that this year till October 24th at 1130am....sigh......so near yet so far :-(

I was wondering what was happening, looking forward to the report

How long does it take you to steam them as compared to boiling?

Cheers undies😀😀

Ok, well worth a try, where do I buy it?

Underpants, does the Jungle Brolly put the fish off? When I lived in the Pilbara just the sent of sunscreen from my hands to the bait was enough to put the fish off

Thanks for the responses never thought of barrier cream and might try that but one concern is it may leave some undesirable taste/smell putting the fish off? The gloves were that slippery with the fish that I actually lost two good sized KG when trying to put in my esky they just shot out of my hand back into the drink 😩😀😩

I have been fishing for over 50 years and all of a sudden I have developed a reaction to handling fish. Whiting and squid when I handle them the next day the palms on my had go very red and sore. Then around 7 to 10 days later all the skin on my fingers and palms just peels of like sunburn? I have googled it and found that I am not alone, and by and large most people who have this problem have no solution. They have visited countless dermatologists and doctors ETC.... But no solutions that I know of. I don't want to waste my time visiting doctors after countless others have done the same with

I think from now on I will be doing as Brenton does, and that's give away the larger ones or cook in a diff way. The smaller ones are way sweeter and the family devours them, the larger ones I think will need some sort of sauce to diffuse the strong taste that we are unaccustomed to. All these years catching smaller ones thinking I am missing out and now I realise I was eating the best.... go figure ?

Yeah, not the best of taste I agree. So I am assuming they are getting ready to spawn now ?

All year I have been catching kg's out of Port Hughes. Been a good year, and most of the ones I catch have only been around the 32 - 38 cm mark. My usual method of cooking is to lightly crumb and then pan fry in a little butter. Just delicious that way with a squeeze of lemon. Went out yesterday and tried a spot near the cape in some deeper water and got 8 thumpers around 48cm each. Cooked them for lunch today in the usual method and the whole family did not devour them as usual, saying " they taste funny dad ?" They did too! Very fishy flavour, not the same sweet flavour as the sma
