Fantastic stuff Luke, took me back 70 years when we used to clean up the Jackets in Sydney Harbour, with the occasional John Dory, I'm definitely going to try your beaut recipe 😊 thanks mate, I'll keep wishin 😅
Mate well done my mum lived at davo and she would take me out and have the same rig but different bait . She used to put them in foil with salt pepper butter and lemon and on the bbq they were beautiful .
Great video Hunter! Swansea has some keen leatherjacket fishermen, and they like a little salt on them when they do fry them at a minimum time of course to be cooked through.
Matey', livin' in Sydney all them years ago we used to fill up on Jackets and Dory off the Taronga Zoo wharf. I remember running along the beach alongside the wharf chasing soldier crabs for bait. My mouth is watering thinking of plating up those beauties. Classic fishing guys liked and subscribed 🤟
Leatherjacket=chicken of the sea. I was fishing at Wilson's promontory off the rocks. 1 hook paternoster rig. I hooked a parrot fish in the mouth and the line wrapped around spike of leather jacket. Dragged up the rocks! Two fish on one hook! 100%
I remember my young son catching his first jacket at Brisbane Waters. I didn’t know what it was but thought it was so ugly it mustn’t be any good so I unhooked it and threw it back. My step father told me it was a jacket and we should have kept it. Damn!
The bite is suttle they inhale and spit it out till it's only a hook left. Got to try time the strike for the inhale takes a bit of feel, we used to use handlines for best results. I use the Panosca because the bottom is very snaggy
Start with this video, jackets is one of the first fish we all started fishing for they common around wharfs so was a common catch. Then move on to mullet, whiting, bream and flathead once mastered that can look at the ocean. Best to take small steps confidence is the main part 👍
Butter is the secret ingredient in stew or curry. Real dairy butter, not margarine. I used to drive my truck past this oil refinery place. One day the traffic was a bit jammed and I had time to read the sign on the fence. It said Meadow Lea. 😂
Yes! I love leather jackets. It's not the fish's fault that people are bad at cooking. Btw, maybe google for japanese recipes for leather jacket liver, like this one ruclips.net/video/Em4Ko9giqTw/видео.html. To me it's heavenly.

Haha they beautiful in my eyes. Wait till you eat one then you will think it looks beautiful to 😂🍽️
Great video Mate. Just quick question, what size is your tinny?
Thankyou 🤝, it's a 4.6mtr DeHavilland
Great video - what's your striking strategy? Also, with Leatherys, is there any advantage/difference using a paternoster or a running sinker rig?
The bite is suttle they inhale and spit it out till it's only a hook left. Got to try time the strike for the inhale takes a bit of feel, we used to use handlines for best results. I use the Panosca because the bottom is very snaggy
Top video ❤
Hi mate what Tinny see you using like a decent size one, looking to upgrade myself
Hi mate it's a 4.6mtr DeHavilland early 90s model nice stable boat 👍

Hay mate, love the vid.. what tinnie you have?...seems super stable
Cheers mate, it's a 4.6mtr DeHavilland one of the last made very stable boat 👍

Hey mate Great video. What bridge are you fishing at? Cheers mate
The rip bridge 👍
👍
where is that I went there for a holiday years ago
Brisbane water just north of the Hawkesbury 👍
cheers for the chat at Bcf, get the dogs you legend.
Always good to put a name to a face, good meeting you to bro 👍
Do you have a recipe for snag fish?...lol
😂🤣
People used to love to eat these fish now they don't as much
Hey bud, just buy green prawns from Woolies or Coles, better value for money and better bait
any tips for someone starting fishing or any spots u dont mind giving away

What sort of fish were you targeting 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Real dairy butter, not margarine.

It said Meadow Lea. 😂
Totally agree butter is king, margarine is more of a engine lubricant 😂🤣
Good luck with your dioxin levels …
The water is clean at Brisbane water no issues 👍
