Yes it does hurt a bit. The biggest issue is the size of the dressing. It needs to be big and thick for padding which pretty much makes the whole hand useless. Even with the thick padding little bumps are a big wake up call. I am here for a few more weeks so if I take care of it, it might heal enough to get a few days fishing in.
Don't know what you mean...There was no argument...You asked why 2 fish caught in the same lake would look and taste different...and of course the answer is because they are 2 different fish
You get pretty much every thing around here. Just land based you can get yellow fin and blue fin tuna, marlin right through to bream, flathead and whiting. Great white sharks are even known to come into the river.
Any of the beaches you will get flathead, bream, whiting and of course salmon. You will also get snapper, shark, rays and dew.
Any of the rocks have good grouper, snapper, both yellow fin and black kingfish. Some of the rock areas produce marlin and tuna. Point Perpendicular (Jervis Bay north head) is famous for ti's marlin.
Huge schools of bonito and tailer often come in very close to both beach and rocks.
Then there is the river...Dew fish around the bridge (or I should say bridges) and along the cliffs. Good numbers of black fish (ludrick), bream and flathead.
Then you have all the by-catches...Sergent baker, ling, dogfish, parrot fish etc, etc.
That is just land based.
