Also known as greenbone in this neck of the woods.
Old guys used to catch them on a rod and line with a small hook using sand-hoppers as bait.

Thanks for the confirmation. Thought that might have been a butter fish when you were spearing. Knew they were a popular target but had not seen them.
Good results,venison and fish.Bet the supermarket stuff any day.Look after those knees mate,bloody dare to replace.
Fantastic harvesting alright! I used to catch butterfish on a rod and line in the Chathams afew years ago dead low tide in rock channels amongst the kelp a good challenge. Keep up the good work thanks for posting.
Good job mate. The ACL injury is a complete bastard and you’ve done well to recover and get back out there. It’s an injury that has finished off a lot of guys and can be very tough on the mental health, something I’m helping my neighbour with right now after he ruptured his ACL a couple of years ago. And then two months ago fell off his farm bike and ruptured his Achilles.... not good.
I would love to get a look at the venison sausage recipe if you don’t mind sharing, will PM you. They look bloody good.
