Surprise throw net catches
Submitted by harropino on Wed, 2013-02-20 13:35
Was using my throw net in the Leschenault Estuary The other day gathering some small mullet for a Tailor expedition and was quite surprised by a couple of my catches. One throw yielded 8 tiny black bream, 5-6cm (all safely returned)and in another i got 4 tiny kg whiting which i havent personally caught in this system for 15 years(all Returned)
Hope this is a sign of the systems health and hopefully good catches in the future :)
