a 45cm gummy shark (I threw him back, too small)


2 of these which I ate for dinner - YUMMY!


my sister in law caught one of these it had the prettiest colorful fins on the sides like butterfly wings.


and I nearly lost my rod when I caught one of these!!! had to cut the line it was so strong and swam so fast!

cool! all i've ever caught is catfish. but i've only fished in the rivers around here.

I never went fishing before, and I really liked it! went went out on the bay a couple of times. I only went initially to get away from the kids

last time i went fishing the river was low, so i just went in my cutoff shorts and tube top (gotta take advantage of the sun) and waded down the river with my bait bucket on my belt! that was a great day, so relaxing!

sounds very nice!
we are going to have 40°C days at the end of this week, so we will have to got to the beach after dinner

If I encounter a real idiot I might punch him in the face, but I'm too much of a softie to catch and kill a fish. Go figure.

I insisted most of the catch be thrown back, especially all the flathead - you only eat the tail, so it's a real waste to kill them. The size limit is 25cm, which is a really small amount of meat in the end.

I went fishing last summer.

I caught one of these;


Sea Robin

do they have any pointy bits which can sting if they break your skin? looks like a bottom feeder - similar to our flat heads!

I think so...one of the (real) fishermen on the boat warned me to keep away from the dorsal fin.

alcohol and heat
a trigger fish bruised my arm once on the barrier reef when I was snorkelling on my honeymoon!

charlottegelin said:

Obvious question;
Can you use gummy worms as bait?

Illustrator said:

probably but they have no teeth, might be too chewy for them!

all of sudden i am thinking about that nice school teacher in FINDING NEMO
