morwong

[plaztix]

There has to be some give and take, there are plenty on this forum that know what there on about (and a few that don't ) but you cant expect a whole lot of fisherman to be giving marks up with out you giving a little yourself.

Cheers Chris

I gave him one mark he gave me one mark. Theres a bit of give....... and a bit of take. i dont think he is gonna go coughing up marks for everyone to see.

Damian's mark came with more detailed instructions than i've ever had time to work out for my spots so i think i got more than i gave.

Cheers mate, will let you know how we go tomorrow.

Same thing, i'm pretty sure. Common name is morwong which covers, painted sweetlip, slate bream etc. (as far as i know anyway)

[michael_mad_fisho]

spot on ... only morwong ive caught believe it or not was in the raby bay canals went 58cm... some big fish in those canals

Yeah in Qld a morwong and a slatey bream are the same thing, thats one in the lower pic that webby posted. Down south a morwong is a different fish.

Out of curiosity I kept a morwong once and fried it in cornflake crumbs. I took a bite and initially it tasted OK. Made me wonder why they were so maligned.

Then I tried peeling off some crumbs and eating the flesh on its own. It was mushy and tasteless and I ended up throwing most of it out. To anyone thinking about keeping a morwong (anyone who's used to keeping better fish, that is) for God's sake crumb it, preferably in cornflake crumbs!

They have recently changed there name Blue ??? i think to try and open up more of a market for them...

They do need bleeding asap, and we try and avoid keeping them in spawning seasons...normally april here as they have a kelpy taste...

But generally , if treated right they are a great table fish
