    Mud & Rous ch  w/e13/14

    By the time I get around to Posting this Jack (Fisherman2)
    will have fill the Board with his success.
    Left Fisherman is (2 on board) Sat Lunch, wind around 10kts
    seas under 1m (bit of chop outgoing tide) weather ok -was going to Mud but headed to Rous ch, Fished no 8/9 beacons
    (rigs-floaters-bottom rigs and DR, strong current due new
    moon (The new bombs Luke made for me worked great, the
    little extra weight made the difference). Bait small squid-small
    pillies and tailor fillets. Plenty of good tailor over the course
    of the stay there, only small squire/parrots, but some decent
    sweeties. kept Four ranging from 40 to 50cm, 1 lizard 53 &
    some tailor around the 45 mark. Perfect condition overnite.
    Headed back to Fisherman Is early Sunday to Pick up Jack
    being a good smaritian ??? I invite him for a trip to Mud
    Sunday. Dropped me mate off at the ramp and headed back
    out to the Nth end of Mud. Winds picking up a bit. Let him ave
    the run of the gear and taught him how Deckies are to look
    after the Skippers . Had a great day, He could have
    cartwheeled back to the ramp after the Lizard he boated.
    His success was 1 Lizard/1 Very nice Parrot and a decent
    Tailor and 1 bream, think he used 24 films on four fish, not to
    mention the Grinners , he asked why we called them
    grinners i told him to stick his finger in there mouth and
    theyll make you grinn , Plenty of boats around with most
    hiting the Cardinals on the Eastern side, mostly like looking
    for a early run of Big Squire as no bird activity or Surface
    activity. Anyway Jack hope you enjoyed the trip.
    A couple of Mates fished Rainbow/Myora area Sat nite and
    Sunday for squire/tailor, one caugh a Batfish that went 47cm
    high by 49cm long. never seen one before, bloody Ugly
    thing, will get him to post a pic.
    The mackeral didnt show this weekend.
    Regards

    That folks is a Batfish. I've seen schools of hundreds of them in the bay - possibly some sort of spawning / gettin' it on thing. Seen them while I've been diving also.

    According to the link they eat OK.
