Fremantle Boat harbour Penguin and Big Skippy
Hi guys, was down at the fremantle fishing boat harbour on 20/12/12)yesterday), with some mates trying to see how many blowies we could get. And there was a penguin!!!! Just a little fairy penguin swimming around catching small bait fish he cornerd up against the wall. he had oil on his back from the boats, and the water had a layer of oil on top, we tried to catch him in the net but he was too fast.
But anyways back to fishing. We berleyed the blowies up with cooked potatoes, and these 3-4 huge skippy came through, probably 1-2kg. Just thought someone might be interested.
Although bait is not an option, as there are way too many blowies, slices or softys are they only way to go.
Fishing and catching are two different things. But i want to learn how to catch.

I was blasting across Cockburn sound last week on my way out deep and saw a couple of penguins playing in the water.
Didn't know we got them this far north!

I used to catch some big skippy down there when I was a kid back in the 70's, mullas as well, some good crays on the outside of the rocks too.
