If in Ballina I would be prepared to do it for you,

I'm good with a knife and fast,
skin and fillet only, not gut and scale.
will only charge 10% of total.

[QUOTE=revs57;1210692]There is no substitute for a sharp knife regardless of the brand, I use $5.00 knives and $50.00 knives - usually have three going at once, a ten inch blade, eight inch blade and a 6inch blade - usually work each of them up with a coarse stone, fine stone, diamond steel then smooth steel to harden the edge - it makes the filleting easy[/QUOTE]

I find that when I use the steel to harden the edge I usually blunt it , Next time we catch up you must show me how exactly to do it, but remember I'm left handed

haha lucky knives have a left and a right side

Yep, your right. I find with a quality brand new knife a tent to drift away from the bone. So once I sharpen them their no good for a RH person.
The cheaper knives have the same edge both sides.

Murf : so you can spend 8 hrs out in a boat and not catch anything either and thought it was just me.............

I sharpen a knife on a stone completely different to Rhys, not saying he is wrong but my way is better nah that is tongue in cheek fella's. will catch up at Xmas time and I will show you (and I am still hopeless at it as it takes skill )

Anyone here use a Chefs choice sharpener??

I have had one of these for 2 years now, best sharpener ever. Even sharpens cerated knives.

I run 4 knives at the fillet table (much like revs57) the only difference is I run a big cerated knife for the big breast bones.

Fish are hard enough to catch and I hate seeing a fish butchered

Garry,
does this beastie run on 240V or Battery, I've looked at a few different sharpeners but none have appealed to me but have yet to see one of these.

Sam you will need to buy a 240-110 converter as well

Hey All,

I may actually jinx myself and never catch another fish after this thread, but anyway here goes.....

Does anyone know where or who fillets and skins your catch of fish in Brissie, or the Sunny Coast for that matter...

The last few trips having to stand at the filleting table after over a day on the water can get really annoying.

If anyone knows anywhere and an approximate cost, the info would be appreciated

Cheers

hi go to fisho at 3998 pacific highway loganholme:ph/38015400

[donstewart]

fisho at loganholme do it

[jason p]

Now the trick is to grow and train your own.
I had 2 boys, trained them for a few years, now when I get home, 1 fillets and cleans, the other washes the boat
Me, well I have a beer

cheers

mate now thats the go. i have a 3yo and 5yo, may have to wait a few years yet. can imagine them fighting over the knife and salt n bait still over the boat. still ill fillet they can wash, im on to somthing here.
