You have broken the Sydney fish Hoodoo now Al.
From now on it will be going off!
Or it could be just going off.
Cheers Gary

Looks like it was a good social event with some decent fish caught all round. What are the hairies like to eat? I remember chasing them in Newcastle harbour as a little bloke but can't remember eating them.
Cheers,

Jon

I can only comment on the smoked one I did and I had to fight the kids to get just one piece. It went down real well with a glass of white!

No, the gates don't close. We stay down there all night because we're foolish.

Thanks to AKFF Select I just had a read of this report, missed it the first time around somehow.

Hairtail flesh looks nice and reasonably light in colour, does it have a mild taste or is it strong flavoured?

The weather looked pretty crap at the ramp.
