      <description><![CDATA[ We've finally been getting a show of good weather on the weekends at least.  Last weekend, we were able to do a spot of snapper fishing with Rob and Leanne in their neatly rigged centre console.  We got a nice feed from the trip including this guy I caught which was the biggest of the day.  There are plenty of whales still around and they kept us amused throughout the day.The canoe also continues to get a work out.  You will never have seen such a kitted-up canoe.  Yesterday we visited Hinze Dam for no joy but it was a lovely day to be on the water.  Can't wait until the summer when the bass will be biting and many less layers of clothes will be required.  ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[ Between the magazine, running a business and writing the Black Marlin Fishing Blog, I’m not sure where I thought that I would find the time to start another blog!  So Fish2Dish is already suffering due to my lack of time.  My apologies to those who may have been awaiting updates!  Luke's been snapper fishing galore over the past week but that story will have to wait for the time being.  In the meantime I have to share a quick recipe that we love. In fact, we've enjoyed it twice in the past week, that's how much we love it!Based on the delicious dishes Andy served us in Japan, shallow fried..whatever...  We used Pearl Perch and some type of Red Wrasse.It's so simple - Scaled and gutted, season and lightly flour the whole fish.  We use Potato Flour which is nice and light. Fry each side until the skin is golden brown and crispy (you can add a little chilli to the oil for that something different).  Pat down to remove the oil.   And enjoy.The fins get nice and crispy and you can eat like potato chips. The flesh just falls off the bones.  Don't forget to eat the cheeks.  ]]></description>

      <link>[$DocumentRoot$]/C1582238696/E20080627080014/index.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[ For those who haven't noticed, things have been somewhat busy over on the other blog  this week  But happily most of the hard work is now done and we're just waiting for the marlin fishing to start up again.On this side of the pond, Capt. Luke has put in many early hours bass fishing.  It's hard work, but someone has to do it ;-)Despite the most secretive of intentions, the word on spot X seems to be out with more and more craft joining us there on the weekends though the week day morning are still pretty quiet.  Capt Luke was there with Kelvin again yesterday morning where Kelvin suffered from too many rods syndrome and managed to get a double hookup of bass while trolling from the bow.       After the trip on the weekend, there were plans for another cobia fishing trip yesterday instead but that was foiled by us and the BlueWater crew on Wednesday as we discovered the cobia too have moved on.  Still, we had a great day out of bottom bashing. Tim caught this 30lb jewfish and we all added several pearl perch to the mix. It was glass on the open water and we haven't had many days like that here all year so we certainly enjoyed it.Word is that the boys on the 36's also jumped a marlin off on one of their float lines so there are still a few fish hanging around. ]]></description>

      <link>[$DocumentRoot$]/C1582238696/E20080612190642/index.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[With the marlin fishing a little quiet over the winter months, Capt. Luke made his first trip out in his new toy today - an Old Town Canoe.  (In search of the Australian Bass which is the latest Capt Luke craze.)  Heading up the back of the coast, in the quiet waters, he and mate Kelvin released a nice little bunch of Bass in a couple of hours with a Bream or two and Flathead thrown in for good measure, the best measuring in at 47cms.  The boys used an array of crank baits, surface lures and once the school was located switched to vibration lures.  The verdict on the canoe is "awesome".  It took a little to get used to, no sudden movements but both agreed it was a stable ride and it certainly didn't scare the fish.  The electric (a 28lb Min Kota) pushed them along at a surprisingly speedy rate.  It's attached to the canoe by a bracket across the back and makes it a very handy and maneuverable combo.  Also, by having the electric on the boat it enables you to troll between spots. I will be finding out first hand on the weekend myself.  Virgin canoe-ist.  ]]></description>

      <link>[$DocumentRoot$]/C446303189/E20080605082131/index.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Finally wading through the final pics from our trip to Japan, I came across these from the Five Rings Aquarium .  Capt Luke and I absolutely loved wandering around the massive five stories/levels! You start at the top and go down and as you do, you are basically getting deeper in the ocean, right the way to the ground floor level and the King Crabs. It is huge and the combination and variety of what you can see is amazing.  I previously visited with Capt Jim and Annie D about 5 years ago and I can tell you it wasn't as interesting to my eyes then as it was on this trip, having spent the last three seasons on the boat.  If you are visiting Osaka, I highly recommend the trip.      ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<div>Also posted on the <a href="http://www.blackmarlinfishingblog.com" target="NewWindow">Black Marlin Fishing Blog</a>.<br /><br />Another wild weekend of weather on the Gold Coast and another weekend of fishing down the drain as Capt.

      <description><![CDATA[ Annie D sent me this link about young Emily Lockwood who caught a potential IGFA World Record Junior and Small-fry for a 33.1kg Spanish Mackerel on 10kg on the weekend.  The fish at 33 some kgs was bigger than Emily herself, at a comparatively wee 29kgs.  The reason why AD sent this to me was because it was very reminiscent of my own capture at 8 years of age.  A Junior and Ladies World Record at the time (and no asking when that time was please!) for a Spanish Mackerel weighing 24.3kg on 4kg line.  As you can see, it was bigger than me too!Big congrats to Emily!  I hope this is not the last we see of her in the fishing news.  ]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Tsukiji Fish Markets - Strange and plentiful ]]></title>
      <link>[$DocumentRoot$]/C1128773724/E20080528074242/index.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[ Our Tsukiji Photo Album is now up. Hope you enjoy the pics. One of the most amazing things about Tsukiji Fish Markets, besides the sheer size and variety of fish (and fish bits) that you can buy is that it doesn't smell...fishy.  While it probably has a lot to do with how fresh the fish is, it also has a lot to do with how 'particular' the Japanese are about keeping things clean. This was something that Capt. Luke especially noticed on our recent trip to Japan, his first, and we have some photos of sparkling (truly sparkling) clean cement trucks to prove it.A friend of mine, from my days in Japan took us on a guided tour of the markets.  As one of the city's very few western proprietors who shop at the market each day, he is a wealth of knowledge.  He told us some stories which often involved the reaction - I can't believe you eat that. We told him some stories along the lines of - see that really expensive mackerel/tuna, we use those and bigger, whole, for marlin baits!  He was incredulous. We saw many fish that were familiar to us and some that were completely unfamiliar. Either way, if you are a fish in Japanese waters, chances are you are fair game for eating.  Stonefish are pretty unlikely candidate for a meal here, but as the picture top right shows, Capt. Luke and I took it on as a special dish prepared by Andy's kitchen team.  We won't be rushing out to target them but it's worth noting that absolutely everything Andy threw at us that night in his Izakaya (Japanese bar/restaurant) was DELICIOUS. Especially the Moonfish sashimi. Who would have thought we would have seen one of these at the markets (Andy had never seen one before either and bought it on a whim) let alone that it would taste so good - raw - a cross between tuna and salmon with a lovely orange flesh colour. Just about every shellfish under the sun gets consumed as well as a plethora of crustaceans including soft-shelled crabs.  We got a first hand look at King Crabs that star in the Deadliest Catch which was a favourite of our in our down-time during the marlin season last year.  As a tip if you are going to Japan and are visiting the markets, tourist are no longer as welcome as they once were as the businesses feel they interfere with the day-to-day activities.  Especially at the Tuna auctions which are held very early in the morning, because as you can imagine, the very subtle hand signals can be missed or misconstrued with the distraction of a camera flash.  These Tuna's fetch huge money and is a big business to those involved.  At Andy's advice, we visited later in the morning (I should mention this was my 5th visit) which was towards the end of their day when stall holders were much more relaxed.I plan to put up a full-size photo gallery of the trip in the coming week so please check back for that and also another post of Lure Shopping in Japan.        ]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[At the Boat Show  ]]></title>
      <link>[$DocumentRoot$]/C1310809900/E20080525161146/index.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[ Capt. Luke joined Peter O'Brien at the boat show yesterday looking at gear for the new boat.  They looked at the new Furuno NAVnet 3D  system - which looks absolutely awesome - as well as RayMarine's new G Series .  As the new boat will sport a pair of MTU2000 Series CR Engines, they visited the MTU display  and had a chat with Capt. Bob Jones and got to look at the engines first hand.   At Cummins  they had a quick review of generator needs (Onan ), paint samples from Alexseal and Muir  winches and davits to name just a few, for the casual observer (or the third wheel - me), it was a looonng day! Overall the boat show seemed a little less well attended - which was actually a nice change being able to walk around more freely.  As this year is definately a different year to last, we'll be very interested to hear how boat sales went though most seem confident the higher end of the market will remain steady.      As always was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and have a drink or two at the Pier Bar.  I spent a lot of time at Mick Keoh's Marine Electronics stall looking at John Faulker's new Tow Cameras.  It's amazing how far they have come in just a couple of years. The new cameras shoot much higher quality footage and the clarity and colours are spectacular. (I heard Capt. Jim spent much time there also which is very encouraging for the season;-)  About Kekoa II: For those who have not yet heard, Kekoa II is under construction. She will be the first O'Brien 56 and is due for completion in early 2010 for Kekoa I 's current owners and all are very excited about the new plans. Stay tuned for progress reports as the build progresses. ]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Sushi Balls ]]></title>
      <link>[$DocumentRoot$]/C1688814600/E20080522164408/index.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[ Recipe inspired by Hideo Dekura’s “Japanese Cooking at Home”. He calls them Hand-ball Sushi but I think Sushi Balls has a much better ring to it!  Having spent many years in Tokyo where you can get it home delivered just as easily as Pizza (with an ice cold six pack of beer on the side no less!) I am a big fan of sushi - any type, any style, any time. Generally I find it really easy to make but quite a bit fiddle-y for every day. This is definitely the easiest that I’ve made to date. The beauty of sushi is that you can use any ingredients that you want.  We went to Peter's Seafood on the spit (just near Marina Mirage  where the boat is at) at bought some scallops, salmon, prawns and seafood stick.  I also made some omelette for variety.   Prawns: After peeling, just use a sharp knife to cut them down the middle from the under-side almost to the skin and flatten on your cutting board. Egg: Mix with one teaspoon of Mirin and pour in a thin layer in a frypan.  Prepare your other toppings by slicing thinly to the size of a 20 cent coin. We turned one scallop into two toppings by slicing horizontally through the middle. We also sliced the seafood stick very finely to create a pretty mosaic look topping. You can do whatever you want.  To make the balls - first wet your hands so the sushi rice  doesn’t stick. Grab a small quantity of rice and roll into a loose ball. Place your selected topping face down in the middle of a piece of glad (plastic) wrap and the rice ball on top. Gather the corners together and twist the ends until the plastic tightens around the ball and compresses the two together. Wha-la….Sushi Balls! Serve with soy sauce and wasabi  and enjoy!     ]]></description>
