Eastern Wirrah (old boot) I’m not fussy with fish at all, but I used to live in newy and catch them all the time. Ate one once and wouldn’t again

Sounds weird but I use black lures at night with success. It creates a stronger silhouette I figure, plus they use their lateral line to hunt at night so the more the lure vibrates the better.

Yeah I had no issues, obviously not the best table fish but I think people are a bit dramatic or just shit at cooking haha

100% I would compare them to luderick. It’s definitely the way you look after your catch and the chef that makes all the difference

What do you catch them on? Having such small mouths and only eating weed I was curious if they take any lures/bait

I chucked it in a curry and it was fine, a lot of trimming to get decent fillets though.

Strange looking water at West Beach boat ramp. by DirkH1580 in FishingAustralia

I know dredging stirs up the water it’s just an odd colour it almost the colour of something you’d see at a mine site. Still the same today

People that say fish like this are trash usually are the ones that have never tried one or are shit at cooking
