Bronze whaler - awesome! Looks like reasonably light tackle too...

*note: this is why I don't swim in the ocean.

Pity you didnt use the other photos of this guy with that shark,with him sitting on it. No wonder I don't swim in the sea anymore.
Nice gummy sharks
And here I was proud as punch catching 1 single Bream on a fly I caught this morning.

Didnt take my camera bob and the fish **** all over my hand so it was lucky I didnt take a pic lol

Boil gummy shark in fresh herbs for 11 hours. Feed to cat. Go to fish and chip shop.

Good catch though - I've never actually hooked one - Are they good sport, or is it like towing in a wellington boot?

you dont have any taste buds or you have never eaten fresh gummy shark before i and all the people i know would prefer gummy to any other fish apart from fresh flathead they hit like steam trains and fight very well and buy the way my wife works in a fish and chip shop and guess what the fish is that they serve in there is

Yes fresh Flatty tails are about the only thing that beats Fresh gummy. Except maybe leather-jacket.

Good haul there, my uncle was a commercial fisherman so i have caught many many many of them

Good feed there mate.....been living in Adelaide for 20 years now and the thing I miss the most about Vic is the flake......very hard to find good flake in adelaide ( especially real gummy shark , not catfish caught 3 years ago in some river in tawain).

Gummy and King George Whiting would have to rate as my favourire eating fish.....

Flying back to vic on Sunday.....1st meal will be mums roast, 2nd will be a few pieces of flake

Walkinshaw · 05-01-2007, 06:08 PM

Taste's vary alot. 99.9% of people here will bleed a leather jacket and throw it overboard as rubbish.

Cant say ive ever had one

rodderz · 05-01-2007, 06:11 PM

You'll get quite a few fillets of flake out of those few, my fave along with flatty and king george, coral trout great too up north

Did you catch it during dark, when most gummies are out?

rodderz · 05-01-2007, 07:51 PM

You got any big snapper off Port Albert? Meant to be some monsters down there

bob 351 · 05-01-2007, 07:57 PM

not yet but am going to be working on it soon my son got one a cou;le of years ago went 22 lb/s

Auslandau · 05-01-2007, 11:26 PM

Gummy & elephant fish are very simular eating and love them followed by flattie tales. One good thing about Vic is the fishing. Good Gummys off Clifton Springs and elephants at Western Port. And of course, Flatties can be caught in a bucket of water. Well done on those, that is quite a few meals there and yes you know when you have one on.

were is clifton springs

King Nothing · 06-01-2007, 03:04 AM

Leatherjackets are awesome to eat, pretty crappy fight though. Mahi, on the other hand, now thats the stuff! Grow pretty big, acrobatic strong fighters, and a taste that cant be beat! Just make sure you bleed em straight away and keep em on ice. Kingies are great as well.
