07/03/08 Lake Kurwongbah Bites!

[EMP]

I was at the lake earlier today. I was there for about 3 hours. I was fishing the EMP way, probably the lazy way- rod rests on the esky while reading something or just enjoying the serenity of it all.

As I was talking to my best mate in the whole world, kaboom! Something heavy was pulling the line. Run I did and I caught a bloody 50 cm catfish (one photo coming right up).

Then after my best buddy left, another bang! This time, it was even bigger, fatter, better. Beauty.

Then about an hour and a half later and 3 turtles, I told myself, "hey EMP, time to move on.";)

Well done:cheer:

I like catching the Freshwater Eel-tailed Catties (Dewfish). They fight well, taste good and look cool. They also don't stink like the Blue Catties:cheer:

[EMP]

The good thing that I was happy about is that fish there is on the bite again.

Then there's the Tilapia angle. While I didn't catch one, I had quite a few bites. I would assume that a few of those bites were from the tillies.

I'm pretty sure it's gonna be fun on Sunday. They're biting! Let's get the tillies!

See y'all!

Cumbrian,

Beautiful photo, mate! Beautiful fish, handsome man. :laugh:

What more can you ask for?

[EMP]

I've just been to the lake a couple of hours ago for about half an hour. I caught a turtle.

Then I met these guys including Russ who'll be at the cull tomorrow (they thought that the event was today, poor things).

And guess what? One of them caught a tilapia!!!!!!!!

Well, it was not a dinosaur of a fish but a catch is still a catch. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be good tomorrow.

Thanks, fishy.

BTW, we enjoyed the fish last night. Awesome, mate.

[fishyman]

im glad you enjoyd it, it always tastes better when you catch it yourself , we used to eat quite a few back up north, they were really tasty

[Cowfish13]

At a place called Patty's Flat (or something like that:S, was a long time ago), we tryed some Dewfish cooked on the fire and I still remember it being awesome. They are a very underated table fish I think. I've read a book where Starlo rekons that they one of Australia's best freshwater table fish:cheer:

AUS doesnt have any good eating freshwater fishes, catties hold there own.
