| 858915 | 2010-02-18 03:57:00 | Watched some keen fishing types catch some strange fish type things sporadically over the last few days. They seemed to throw most of them back, which probably didn't earn the undiluted gratitude of the fish. The ones they kept were neatly gutted etc and then allowed to become fly blown, when they were also released back to the Tasman Sea. One enthusiast regularly practised his warm burley trick, which at least earned the seagulls' approval. All told it seemed a most peculiar set of rituals, I wouldn't have been too surprised if they had burst into sea shantys. Since all the fish went back into the ocean, plus a great deal of bait and the odd processed meal via a technicolour yawn or two, it seemed the sea gained more than it gave. Pretty inefficient way to go about it though :D At least we never hit anything during 3 days and 2 nights of apparently aimless lurching about of the west coast. As a non fish eater, I viewed the process with insufficient enthusiasm to enjoy it properly, it would have been far more pleasant and achieved the same result if the boat had been left alongside the wharf, or even left in a cradle like the sensible boat owners did. Better still, the whole ceremony could have been held in any shed with walk-in beer coolrooms. |

Our partners walked a bit fast for my crippled hobble but I still handled it. Husband couldn't so much, but then he does have various health issues. I hate flounders, yukky things. Easy to fillet though. Husband and cats, and neighbours cat all like them and I liked catching them. 3 drags and we had 16 fish all over 27cm. |

Anderton,the consummate bottom feeder. |
