Caught these on fresh prawns(what you guys call shrimp) off the local beach. 12 foot beach rod, egg beater reel, 10lb mono line.  Top one is a Bream (31cm) Bottom is a Tarwhine. (40cm) Pepsi for comparison And while I'm posting some pics, here's some kookaburra's in my back yard the other day.  |

Yeah, they are good eating Troy.
And Anthonydykes( or dykesy, much more Aussie) when I read you eat Kookaburra wings, I thought WTF. I just googled them, haha, never knew. But not a proper kooka though.
BTW, I nearly lost that bigger fish. The hook came out right at the end and a wave was only 1 foot away from freedom. A quick scoop and throw up the beach saved the day.

( or dykesy, much more Aussie) works for me. Is the name dykes common down there? It has a Scottish Lineage. |
