Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

My wife has been promoted to champion chinaman catcher,she managed 4 and a pick handle today.
Nice day out but.scraped the ice off the windows.

Took the Short Arse Smart Barstard...out for a fish today! He must have enjoyed the clam seas, because instead of burbing, farting and losing conscious then chucking legal fish over the side! He was giving me shit from the start to the finish! Calling my (light weightbelt) a FBSD (fat barstard sinking device), catching fish bigger than me and crowing about it! Then scorning me when he asked what kind of shark I had caught when I replied not a spikie mate it was a sharkie shark! He saved up this info and when we got home consulted the fish chart and annoucies gleefully "mate they don't have sharkie sharks on here ...you've discovered a new species"

I should have let the sharkie shark bite the SASB and then he would know what kind of bloody shaaaaark it was! Anyway a great day out heaps of laughs, bugger all fish, shit vis!

Few random photos ..these ones are of the lagoon that has being closed off to the sea for as long as I can rember now after the storms a few months back it's got a inlet channel so we went for a poke about!




Had a great day out

It was OK up to about 1 then started to chop up.
I must admit, the hard top makes it much more enjoyable.

Hard fishing though. Plus had a fishing virgin... managed to get him a few and he's stoked.

I didnt do very well and I put that down to a 60m net being set blocking 3/4 of the channel in front of my legaly set 40m net blocking less than 1/4 channel as per rules......this will not be allowed to continue......

Anyway...

These two flounder are two different species.

Most would just call them flounder but what we have there is a yellow belly flounder on the left (most commonally confused with a greenback flounder) and a black or river flounder on the right.
Greenbacks look just like yellow bellys but are broader in shape closer to a sandflounder.

Kinda like Fallow colour phases one must be somewhat of an aficionado to pick the differences but there is differences.

sand flounder or "diamonds" are commonly caught up north I understand or locally in trawls but i have only ever caught two in many many hundreds of flounder comprising mostly of Yellow belly and Green back with mayby 10-15% black or river flounder.

Sorry VC can't like that first post....bloody mongrels, 0800 poacher should sort that one out.

Just showed your second post to the old man. Very interesting as we regularly get those spotty ones (often with red spots) over on the coast.

The place where we catch them is behind a sandbar in a rivermouth. So there you have it - river flounder !! Cheers mate

Yes I believe I could target them specifically if I felt like it.........days like today make me want to give it a go.
