    I hear some magic wands are faulty and only catch grinners and iodine bream.

    Try a T-curve wand.

    They work pretty well!

    Your on fire

    Here in yeppoon we are getting it for bout 3-3.50kg for a 10kg box. They are trunked (headed and gutted) I have used some of it and its average quality but last trip for jt they wouldn't touch the fresh stuff we cast netted and only wanted the the other stuff, go figure.
    Bluefin sports has slimeys as well and the only place I have found around here that stocks them. 10 bucks for a kilo packet but ill pay that seeing as they are scarce up here.

    Cheers from boony

    That's right, I was going to see the Slimey guy down here for (I think) Muddy to see about buying a heap of slimies, best get onto that, I had forgotten all about it.

    Boony,
    Where are you getting the 'trunked' stuff?
    I got some frozen fillets a while ago from Gladstone, think it was $27.50 for a 5kg box, they were average quality also. Definitely snap frozen, so easy to separate and re-bag, but not great quality. In the absence of choice I would probably get them again but don't really travel Gladstone way, be nice if I could find them locally.

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    If you're after amounts upwards of 50kgs, go in and haggle with them. It might as well be a wholesale quantity and the shop might have to order more to make sure they'll still have stock.

    Where abouts did you get that from last year... I'd like to call them for over 100kgs. now.

    Scott,
    Rosslyn bay marina mate, just go into the fish co op and ask one of the girls and they should be able to grab you a box (or ten) Last time I checked they were pretty confident that they would be able to keep them in stock

    Cheers from boony

    It's been a while but I used to get bulk mullet and gar from Raptis at Colmslie for good prices. In those days you could attend the auction and bid on fish by the tub yourself or make a deal with a professional fish buyer on the day.

    Now days I think you can still get good prices if you contact them direct and put in third party bids. Worth a call or it might be worth turning up early one morning and have a chat with some of the buyers.

    N.B. Monday isn't always the best day to go because the fish may have been caught on the previous Friday and kept on ice for three days.

    There should be bulk cheap quantities from the Ballina Fish Co-Op as well as Clarence River Fish Co-Op. Not 100% sure though as Mullet season is starting to really wind up with average quality roe in most fish so if it's available now it won't be for long...

    Picked up 10kg of mullet barrels on the weekend for $2.99 /kg As barrels are already gutted and scaled and head removed, you only get 25% waste after taking the fillets off. So works out to be $4.00 /kg. From Seafood Warehouse Lawnton. Happy with that whilst we wait for a cheaper fillet price.

    Funny thing was they were charging $5.00 /kg for whole mullet. so that made no sense to me.
