1 Jan 2007 - Eeltail Catfish

New Year Day was spent at the little jetty near Amber Beacon at East Coast Park. I had some prawns and squid leftover from previous fishing trips, and I really wanted to use them up as it was a waste to throw them away. I caught this little eeltail catfish on handline. It was similar in size to a previous catch. The sea bottom around this area is not really good... the last time I went, I had to cut away my lines twice because they got caught on something at the bottom. Similarly, I had to cut my line again today. It is such a waste of line, hooks, weights and swivels.
