well actually, I didn't remember Virg, but fortunately my brother had his new diggy so all was well.
Red Bull said:My mouth is now watering thinking about the flathead in beer batter I made myself last weekend. :thumb

Red Bull said:Nice work neybra. Those elf look very similar (in fact are probably the same species) to what we call tailor? Here they grow to around 14kgs but are never seen above about 5-6 kgs.
With your gear, do you use braided gelspun line? It is extremely thin for it's given breaking strain, so you can cast miles, and still have the pulling power to extract good fish. My brother and I both use threadline reels mostly (which I assume is what you call 'coffee grinders'?), though in the pics I posted of me, I am using my trusty old Shimano Calcutta baitcaster reel. We normally run 6 pound line for our estuary fishing, though certain fish demand heavier line. These flathead only need light line, but a decent monofilament trace or leader is mandatory to prevent to the flatheads raspy teeth sawing through the line.
Here's a decent tailor I got a couple of years ago, so you can see if it's what you catch over there?

my Mum does some type of batter that doesn't require beer. :nta: I dunno, I'm not much of a cook. :-[ Anyway, the beer batter I do has lemon pepper, cider vinegar, mixed herbs and an egg in it. Sorry if it's too ho-hum for you Mr Chef :, but geez, the results of this simple concoction taste bloody superb.

Jack in America refer to what we call trevally, of which there are many species.
Don't know if that's what you are talking about?
I'll dig out a pic tomorrow
Virgie the co I work for specialise in batter. We make them for I&J and Sea Harvest, two of SA's biggest fish producers. I'll get you a link. Go to http://www.bokomo.co.za/Virgil said:Red Bull said:Virgil said:Is there any other way to make up batter?!..i dont think so
