How on Earth do you catch and cook a Delicious fish??

We recently had a delicious fish dinner. Over the space of our travels, I (Joel)have  had reasonable success with fish especially over the space of the last few months. I was especially glad when I managed to catch a fish, just short of the metre mark, off the Derby Jetty. When I arrived at the jetty to a beautiful Sunset, I rigged up a whole mullet on a 5/0 hook, dropped it down near the pylons and laid back and looked at the stars and waited for a bite.

After about an hour I started getting some bites and I picked up the rod to feel the bites. All of the sudden the mullet took off at a million miles an hour and I pulled back and set the hook on the mysterious fish. After a couple minutes of playing with it he decided to rub me against some razor sharp jetty pylons, Snap! Not mucking 'round now I put the biggest of the mullet on my rod and put it back out.

About twenty minutes later out of the comer of my eyes I saw my I saw the rod bend over sharply. Quickly I ran back to my rod, I could feel the Fish and tried to strike but missed the first time. He then picked it up and hammered away with it. Setting the hooks on him I then had to weave in and out of my other line as the fish decided where he wanted to go. At one hair raising minute he tried to go under the jetty holding the drag. I skull dragged him out. The person next to me had a crab pot and pulled the 93 cm Black Jewfish up. I was absolutely stoked and it was high fives all round. Biggest and Best Fish yet!

After we had got two beautiful fillets off the mulloway, we started to plan how to cook it. We chose a tasty but simple recipe off Best Recipes, and cooked our fish. The ending result was a beautiful tasting fish, which lasted us for 2 meals.

How did we cook it? We simply wrapped it in alfoil, seasoned it with salt and pepper and lay slices of lemon on top and baked it in the oven. YUM!

Here is Josh's  favourite recipe for fish: ( we have tried this one as well)

3. Add 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce and the juice of 1 lemon.

5. Quickly flip the fish and leave to cook for about 30 seconds.
