Bloodworm

They are amazing to see close up. I was lucky enough to see one that was at least 2m about 20 years ago near Pt. Giles.

Could not agree more. Complement flavours when cooking or preparing food not destroy them. @Panga, may as well cut circles out of stingray flaps and pickle them.

Why 10' Big John ? and your golf game is as bad as mine mate. Gotta arrange a game soon mate. But they will work because I work on the principle KISS - keep it simple stupid. Most of the Razor Fish in my area are in more than 6' of water. My golf game couldn't be that bad as I haven't lost them all. lol

Thanks for that. Only wish I could have taken photos of all the different fish I have caught over the years but nowhere near that lot.

Good idea Lindsay. I just need one about 10' long. I've got plenty of those damn golf balls.

With Spring in the air and summer BBQ's around the corner will have to give this a try. Have all the ingredients apart from the squid but I can fix that.

Good luck with your worming run Panga. Sorry I can't go. Taking the horse to the vet at Roseworthy College tomorrow morning. I have a cheaper solution but my life would not be worth living. I might be able to get out but did not want to risk pulling out at the last minute.

A big thanks to all that helped. Such a great cause.

Bloodworm, when you are defrosting the natural worms, either use paper towel or dry beach sand. That will suck up the juices and will be perfect to use David David, I have always thawed my natural worms on a bed of salt or put salt in the bag before hitting the beach for YFW. Just trying a different method but find salt the bees knees.

Took some of the Metho treated worms out yesterday for a try on the Tingas. Although I did not catch any on the worm I was pleased with the way they presented. They thawed out without going soft and mushy, almost like fresh ones.

Amazing colour. Thanks for sharing.

After getting out 4 times in one week I have been struck down with the flu. Wanted to try some bloodworms in the Marina but realized it was not just "Man Flu". Will try and hit the Tingas on Tuesday.

I would prefer also to just use them el'natural and agree tubies are better bait. The reason for adding the oil was to be able to eliminate all the air out of the bag before zip sealing. I checked the bags today and there was air and ice in the bags. I have heard that vacuum packing the fresh worms is too rough on them but I think that was worms that had been just dried on paper. I use Bloodworms for YFW, KGW and Bream. Plenty of other species like them too like Mullet, Tommies, ST and of course Mulloway.

Thanks for that Barney, it was a reasonable run. We were very happy and who knows what the weather will be like on those few days in July and August. Back to the report and a few pics. We had a few delays on the way back with masses of weed blocking the intake causing some over heating as well as covering the sounder so it was a slow trip back to the ramp. What ramp???? For a new facility it was disappointing that there were no lights on or operating on the night we came back in. Nearly crashed into the break wall at the entrance. Note: remember to take the spot light next time. Backing the

Headed out to "Moonta North" on Tuesday evening with my trusty deckie, three days after the New Moon to see if the bloods were running and to check out the new lights on the boat. Launched a few hours before dark to sus out the spot and then moved out about 5kms for a little fishing till sunset. Did not expect to catch anything due to the timing of the Bloodworm run but what else do you do apart from look at the stunning scenery from the wind farms to the start of the Flinders Ranges. Expected to catch a few squid but surprise, surprise George decided to come to the party and had enough for

Nice one O2Catch1. Caught one in a fishing comp one day that was over the metre but got done on the day. They can vary in weight dramatically. The old fella that fished out of Pt.Hughes (hope he is still going as I haven't seen him for awhile) best was over the 10lbs. He only fished for Snook.

Catch them that size all the time in my secret spot.

Looks good. Try that with Tommies, layer the fish fillets and vegies. Yum.

Getting crook on the way for a feed of yabbies would be the pits for you as I know how you like them. Hope you are on the mend. Thinking of getting up that way myself as things have been pretty DARK over this way.

Good luck trying to get anything but cockles down there at the moment as there is no salt water from the mouth to the ramp. All brown water according to a friend that was down there yesterday. He did not bother to put a line out ant rang a friend that was on the way down from Adelaide and told him not to bother. I think they have reduced the flow of fresh recently so it may clear up a bit for the week end. Always good to get down that way even if the fishing is so so.
