coupla fish: coomera river and broadwater

[ashh]

had a quick drift up the coomera river friday arvo flicking plackys and drifting some poddys, managed a few flattys this one went about 39cm on plastic, and all I could get on the liveys were these bloody catfish




took mum out for a fish in the broadwater today, pumped some yabbys and after we had enough yabbys I had a quick flick and first cast nailed this little flatty 38cm.



Caught heaps of undersized whiting, sole, flattys and the odd breambo but managed this good sized whiting on a yabby, personal best for me 37cm , let mum have it for dinner. Nothing to special but had good fun day fishing outa the boat.

[richieboy]

That's a great whiting there mate. I just get goosebumps when I look at it. For some unknown reason it reminds me of the grinners I pulled in this morning. What the......$#@%$@#$^

sure was a good whiting, I called it for a bream as it was fighting quite hard then a flatty coz of its weight on the line, but yeah surprise surprise...

Someone was telling me, that they heard from someone else that....
#1 grinners are apparantly are as good tasting as whiting???, so long as you dont mind the thousand or two bones in them and
#2 they are good live bait for something??

is there any truth to these statements??

Sounds like a similar session I had there last week, just bream and cattys.

Yes, grinners can be eaten, but usually arent.....why bother.
They can be good live bait for some offshore pelagics, but theres nothing in the rivers that takes them.

cheers
