🎣 Friday Fishy Fact! 🎣

Ever seen a Mullet jump 3 feet out of the water and wondered why they do it?
Scientists are still debating it, but the top three reasons are:
1. Clearing parasites from their gills.
2. Increasing oxygen intake in murky water.
3. Absolutely flexing on every flathead waiting on the bottom. 😎 💪🏼

Keep an eye out for 'em this weekend.

Have a ripper Friday, stay safe on the water, and don't forget to pack the sunscreen! ☀️🚤

🎣🐟 FRIDAYS FISHY FACT 🐟🎣

This week’s local fish is a bit of an oddball… and we reckon you’ll agree! 😂

MEET THE RED GURNARD!
This bottom-dwelling fish is found along the NSW coast and is certainly one of the more unusual-looking fish you might pull up.

But here’s where it gets interesting…

👣 THIS FISH HAS LEGS! 👣
Well… sort of!
Gurnards have several modified rays at the front of their pectoral fins that separate from the rest of the fin. They use these little “legs” to feel around the seafloor and help them move across the bottom while searching for a feed.

And what are they looking for?
Things like prawns, crabs, small fish and other tasty critters hiding amongst the sand and sediment.

And when they spread those big pectoral fins, they can look pretty spectacular!

So next time you pull up a strange-looking fish with what appear to be tiny legs…

Don’t throw it back thinking you’ve caught some sort of aquatic chicken! 🐓

You might just have yourself a Red Gurnard!

Have you ever caught one?

📸 Drop your gurnard pics in the comments!

Happy Fishy Friday Legends! 🎣🍻

🎣 HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO ALL THE FISHING DADS! 🍻

To the dads who can identify a fish from 50 metres away…
…but still can’t find the bloody remote sitting right in front of them. 😂

To the dads who say “I’ll only be out for a couple of hours” and somehow return 9 hours later smelling like bait, b**r and questionable decisions.

To the dads who have $500 worth of fishing gear but reckon a $6 packet of hooks is “too bloody expensive”.

And to the dads who taught us everything we know about fishing — including the very important skill of turning a 20cm fish into a 40cm fish by the time the story reaches the pub. 🎣

Have a ripper Father’s Day, legends!
Hope your day involves good company, cold b**rs, tight lines and absolutely zero chores.

🍻🎣 Happy Father’s Day from everyone at the club! 🎣🍻

🎣🐟 IT’S FISHY FRIDAY, YA LEGENDS! 🐟🎣

Here’s todays fishy fact…

Fish don’t have ears like we do, but they can still hear and detect vibrations through the water.

Which means that bloke in the tinnie revving the motor, dropping his tackle box, yelling “GET THE NET!” before he’s even hooked anything…

Yeah mate. The fish heard you coming. 😂

No wonder they bu**er off…

So remember this weekend:

🎣 Cast quietly
🍺 Keep the b**rs cold
🤫 Keep your gob shut
🐟 And for Christ’s sake… don’t tell everyone where you’re catching them!

Happy Fishy Friday Legends! 🎣

What’s the loudest thing you’ve ever done on the boat immediately before the fish stopped biting? 😂👇
