Petros i batter the trout or crumb it and it's so nice don't have to buy fishn chips.
Mrs DD mine are usually well battered by the time I gut,skin and bone em
I'll give it a try.
So far with the trout, I either fry them, bbq it or smoked... really can't go wrong with a trout....
The greeny fish on the photo (tench) I haven't tried it before so not sure how to go about it...
I think with any fish I try for the first time it goes on the frying pan... best way to try its natural taste....
Been catching fair bit of eels too... I've been throwing them back in the water... Any recipes for those?
Secret with eels is learning to bone them, my old man use to remove the skin with pliers and then have a way of completely removing the bone skeleton, up there with the best fish I've ever eaten really nice and the same smoked
Some guy was telling how he gets the bones out with a empty beer bottel. Not sure if it would work but it seems sound
Landed a brown trout tonight.

Had a few hits on this lure but never had a swivel failure.
Got the trout on the bank and lure was still attached to trout,nylon came to the reel fast as nothing was attached!
Usually if there is a failure with gear it is the knot.

Not this time the swivel came apart,but one landed two hits.

Looks like it pulled it too, didnt break. Weird alright
The boss went up north on a kingi charter and the guy checked over his gear said that's shit and that's no good put this on and you will be sorted.
He asked what was wrong with what he had and the big Moari fella grabbed his swivel between finger and thumb on each hand and just pulled it apart!
He was gob smacked, tried it himself on some of his other gear and couldn't get it to even look like breaking.:D
