Wallace, Atlantic and Pacific Salmon are arguably the best eating fish in the seas.  Yet you use it as bait to catch Dhufish.  I'm going to assume Dhufish tastes better than Australian Salmon.  BTW it looks like you had a good day.  Dominick

Hi Wallace,

We call them Kawhai on this side of the ditch, they're a great fish for smoking and a lot of fun to catch on a fly rod too.

hi dom
strickly speaking these are not salmon but perch
200yrs ago when the settlers came or were released
they thought they looked like salmon
fillets for bait,head and frames go into the garden mulcher for berley(chum)
hi mfb
just cant bring myself to smoke em,maybe the cremetorium is an option
great sporting fish on light gear
cheers

Bleed them straight away, fillets rubbed with sea salt & brown sugar into the hot smoker for 20 minutes, eat while still hot with butter and washed down with a good lager beer.

Wallace,

Looks like a solid boat, and solid job on the fish.

[Doug]

The fish look like they are related to our blue fish here in the NE US. especially if they taste like crap

Nice work Wallace - looks like a great day on the water.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Justin

The difference might be that the NE Blue fish taste like oily crap.  Dominick

Doug & Dominick

They taste like Crap because of their Diet of Oily Fish. Eat the Snappers about 12" you will see the difference.
