Well guys, have'nt posted in the photo section in ages!
Anyways living in Perth now and have got into the local fishing fairly ok! Heres a few pics from are last 2hr session,

This is a Flathead, quite good to eat and has 2 poision spikes behide each gill cover.

Skipjack trevally or a "skippy". These fish are serious when hooked! I bought a Okuma 8ft alround rod and on the first day snapped it with one of these lads on!

Small sting ray, you can see at the end of the tail before fins out were his barb is. Iv caught another stingray which was nearly a meter wide and took near an hour to land, very hard fish to get the better of when hooked and they take some line of your reel!

Should have a few more pics when we head out again.

What river are these from? Most (if not all) rivers close to trout angling on the 30th Sepember...did you kill 2 trout out of season?

bassy · 22-11-2011 4:36pm

not at all those 2 were caught around the middle of September,only got around to putting pics up a few weeks ago.
Will be waiting for the 17th march 2012 :-)

gashead · 23-12-2011 1:49am

What weight would you think it is. i got one early this year, on a pattern you recommended :-) that looked about the same. I put her back without weighing or measuring. I guessed about 5lb.

Daroxtar · 23-12-2011 9:49pm

Went over to the Curragh Springs today for the first time. Had a cracker of a day. Got 8 including these 2 on successive casts just as Sean the owner came down to see how I was doing. All I can say about the place is Wow!

I know everyone who fishes there gives it a good report but i just feel I have to chip in with my tuppence worth. The fish are just so hard fighting its unbelievable. Great great day out

I'm thinking about 3kg or so, roughly 6lb...

Auldloon · 25-12-2011 1:25pm

Nice looking bows there daroxtar.

Compton · 27-12-2011 9:32pm

Nice bows indeed, pity the ground there is so rough... Id say a lot of the fish get damaged when caught

experimenter · 28-12-2011 2:02pm

Curragh Springs is one of the cleanest fisheries...

There's only one small section where there's gravel and the rest if all grass...

Fish can be taken out of the net, without been landed on the gravel..

Daroxtar · 28-12-2011 5:56pm

They were the only 2 I had out of the water at all. Shaun arrived and banked them both. I left the rest in the net in the water to unhook them. Agree about the place being grassy, that spot where the slipway is is pretty much the only spot with gravel.

I'll definitly be spending more time over there.

danbrosnan · 29-12-2011 10:45am

Roll on 2012..............:)

I'm not an angler at all and was looking at this thread randomly. Just have to say I think it's a great thing the consideration a lot of ye have for the welfare of the fish yis hunt. Fair play

That's an amazing haul of fish. Never done this style of fishing so if these are silly questions please forgive me...
Is it normal and safe practice to have a load of fish out of water like that? How do the ones at the bottom of the pile cope with the weight and pressure on top of them?

No such thing as a silly question.... The fish are kept in a keepnet of at least 2.5 m long so they can swim around until the end of the session.. then we get ready the weighnet and groundsheet for the photo.. they are removed from the water weighed and photographed and returned with a target time of 3 mins.. they all go back alive.. to be caught another day.

Had another great haul yesterday but the fish weren't the same size as the last day.. over 60lb with some fantastic DACE... yes dace...

Specimen Dace

It was the first week of the season, looked like she had just spawned. she was nearly 9 lb. Hard to tell exactly. The small scales was struggling.
