Thanks for the report. I'm going to give it a go tomorrow. Will be my first attempt with a paravane/spoon.

Those smoked fillets look awesome!

[chop]

yum Nice one

[Agrav8_and_Lulu]

Nice work Rosco, my mouth is watering just looking at those fillets. Looks like you had a good day on the water. I go to my local bush and get iron bark sticks, split them up and soak in either water, rum, bourbon or wine. Let it soak for about 20 min, that will give it some different flavors.

[Seahorse]

Fish look good rosco.
Mate what sort of smoker u got.
I want to get one .
I am going out to woody in morn to get some more snapper

Cheers
Greg

Well done rosco nice catch mate and they are excellent fuel usage figures. Dad and I got a feed of Whiting from the Rouse that morning but the size was average. No crabs form spot X all were thrown back to gorw a little bit more. See you next time.

[Axl]
