queensland Baroon Pocket - 21st June.

Well fishing was a bust. I got one bass and it was the only one caught. Lure was a Damiki Vault

The wind blew up early and it made fishing atrocious. Not that I usually mind a bit of wind, but there were literally white caps and it was far from plesent.

The Compromise: Ended up going to Maleny Irish Pub for the afternoon and night. Plenty of games of darts, pool and pints of Guniness for all There was a great Celtic band playing so it was a great atmosphere.

Sorry for the lack of reporting.

Glad I decided to not make the hike up there! I ended up going out with a mate in his new boat to the 'pin. We got bugger all, only legal fish was a sole, and by the time i filleted it there's not really much meat.

Frustratingly we were getting our plastics chased by flatties, but they refused to actually bite them. We could see them clearly, a few times they did bite they just grabbed the tails so as soon as we struck it'd come out of their mouths.

Dont fillet sole! Just scale and gut them and fry them as is. The bones are minimal and you get more of a feed IMO.

I love site fishing like that although it can be frustrating.

too late!

[Rocket75]

oh no...stuffed your sole..eternal damnation for you:silly:

[benno573]

flounder is best scaled gutted and then deep-fried whole. not worth filleting. very tasty fish if prepared right. i bet they would go pretty well in your smoker too mate.

Yeah Lee it did. To be honest, a few great hours on the dam and the pub with some Guiness and whiskeys in the freezing cold mountains. Not a bad way to spend a saturday
