Girlfriend and husband went out, caught a 6kg bolt cutter, thought it was dead, trying to retrieve hook, bit the tip off of her finger, hubbie uses steel traces in Leeman when out fishing especially cray season.

I thought you were only joking when you said you would
send them down out way (Lol). Hope they eat a few local blowies while they're here.

Southern Nor'westers!
My son and I got one while slow trolling a bibbed minnow for tailor and pike over the weed beds in Geographe Bay a couple years ago. We saw the silvery flash and thought we had a monster of a tailor! I suppose we were lucky it didn't bite the lure in half...

Hi Ya,
I've caught "Nor West Blowies" in Flinders Bay, Augusta (or something that looked a hell of a lot like a NWB).
