Re: Whiting Bait-How I do it

Denis, I,m not in your league with Whiting but have always favoured Cuttlefish as the ultimate bait for them, particularly the long candles.

Re: Ggo to Squid jig

I was surprized to see this discussion went back 3 and a half years ago.

Re: Barwon river reddies

You made a mistake throwing back, they are the best eating freshwater fish IMO.

Fillet like any perch or bream then take skin off, it,s not difficult and you will be rewarded
with the sweetest fish you will eat.

Re: Squid vs calamari

Calamari goes back to the Latin and evolved into the Italian and Greek over time.
Calamari and Arrow are Squid, there are a number of sub species but a Squid is a Squid.
Maybe Calamari sounds better in a restaurant?
