A ginger flathead. Danny boy - I had to read and re-read your report a couple of times, to make sense of it. Who is your English teacher at school? I want to phone the school and get him.her to give you more homework

Ahhhr you're a worry. Good catch. Where's the pic taken? Looks like NW Arm or Gymea Bay.

Good one Dan. Bit jealous we could not go fishing this weekend.

Where did you catch the Leatheies?

Saw quite a few Leatheries this morning in Yowie bay.

[quintrex101]

mate got them at jibbion

[kkw]

Good to see you edited your initial report Danny boy. Makes sense now So the leatherjacket were caught at Jibbion eh? Jibbon bommie or inside the heads? Jibbon, Jibbon, Jibbon. Say after me ...... Jibbon.

kk ins the middle of the heads near the point of the rocks thingy in about 13 meters of water

I did not see the initial report and was thinking that KKW is very strict. But then got to reading a little further.

I will say good report they Dan.

Daniel finished the picnic early today and went and dropped a line and caught 2 Leatheries 28cm and 30cm. Yowie Bay, private jetty.
Yum, BBQed Jackets.
Your report and the kids wanting to go fishing just made it happen. Thanks.

[quintrex101]

thats good grant .... thanks majed and poly ... as you you jumpus we never know what too do with you

[Jumpus GooDarus]

As long as you're enjoying yourself Daniel that's all that matters

ps] I was thinking about editing your pic to give you a Flathead

[It'l Do]

Don't worry about them Jumpy will do it anyway.

I was going to tell you not to squeeze the fish that hard. Looks like you made them pop their guts.
I normally cut from the spine down, but not all the way through and rip their head and guts out in one go. Why gut them before you go back to the ramp?
