Shovelnose
Submitted by Pob on Sat, 2011-01-29 11:51
Took my boys fishing last saturday, bit windy but the yougest caught plenty of herring, my oldest caught a little eagle ray and just as we were going to pack it up, his reel starts screaming, 25 minutes later we got the shovelnose on the beach, and 2 very happy little blokes!

Not too bad at all if I remember correctly. The old man used to catch them off Pelican Point in Carnarvon all the time while we were swimming in front of him. Rekon half my childhood meals through that stage were Shovelnose.
