SEA FISHING

For anyone unfamiliar with the site always check the FRESHWATER, SALTWATER and TACK-TICS pages. The Saltwater page now extends back as a record of over several years of (mostly) sea fishing and may be a useful guide as to when to fish. The Freshwater stuff is also up to date now. I keep adding to both. These pages are effectively my diary and the latest will usually be about fishing in the previous day or two. As you see I also add the odd piece from my friends and correspondents if I've not been doing much. The Tactics pages which are chiefly 'how I do it' plus a bit of science are also updated regularly and (I think) worth a read (the earlier ones are mostly tackle and 'how to do it' stuff).

More fish from Barrow Island.

Nick Dunn has sent me some more pictures from Western Australia - it's a bit of a game trying to identify them. He tells me that it may be some time before he gets out there to fish again - pity! As for me - I'm still in the doldrums - too much travelling, gardening and the like to do. I'm off the the AGM of B.A.S.S. on Sunday so I should meet a few old mates there for a good chat about fishing anyway.

If you have any comments or questions about fish, methods, tactics or 'what have you!' get in touch with me by sending an E-MAIL to - docladle@hotmail.com

Ouch!

Nick was holding the line when a king mackerel or wahoo (not caught) grabbed hold and ran - fast!

Red bellied fusilier.

Apart from the fact it doesn't appear to have a red belly this seems to be what it is.

No idea?

Some sort of tuskfish?

Yellow tailed emperor.

Another amazing little fish.

I'd be chuffed with this one.

A small giant leatherjacket - similar to a queenfish but with only a single row of spots.

Close up.

I bet these fish 'go a bit'. Look at the thin tail wrist and massive forked tail.

Female blue tuskfish.

Apparently these fish have blue bones.

Grey reef shark?

I think that this is a relative of the large 'whaler' sharks.
