Default In praise of Rexy

Good old Rex Hunt, I love watching those fishing programmes (getting double helping at the moment on Discovery).

Plus Hewey with his fishy dishes - great.

Well done, you bald-headed Aussie fish-man.

Not a bad way to earn a living.

Cheers - Don

Good old Rexy, bald headed old coot was on the box again for an hour yesterday in Flander's Bay or something like that catching salmon. With a big chocolate ice cream stain on his sweat shirt.

You'll be on a hiding to nothing. Rex is the quintessential Aussie and everyone loves him. It would be like lobbying to eradicate the Koala.

That Aussie salmon isn't really a salmon at all, you wouldn't really want to eat it. It's more of a catch and throw back fish.

I'm looking forward to getting into some snapper and crayfish fishing when I get my boat!!! I'm such a dreamer.

Australian salmon (sea salmon) - try taking the blood line out, skin the fish and take all the brown stuff off with the skin, It takes longer to fillet it this way, but it's worth it. Just leave the white flesh - makes a world of difference! I like the taste of it, but not everyone does (it's actually the brown stuff which makes them stong tasting - removing it leaves a nice tasting mild fish).

I used to catch them in Newcastle off the beaches when I lived that way, can't catch them here in Brisbane, they stop around the Tweed except for the odd straggler (I do eat fish, only "animal" meat I don't eat). Anyway try taking all the brown meat off the fish before cooking it and the blood line.

And leave Rex Hunt alone , he's done wonders for the rec fishing (campaigning against trawlers), actually I do prefer "Bushy" - he usually out fishes Rex

Another good bloke I like to watch - Malcolm Douglas. Outback fishing/camping, four wheeling etc (owns a croc farm up North) - hell of a guy for an old bloke - forget the croc Hunter (steve) - Malcolm Douglas is the real thing who actually will live off the land for months in rough terrain.

cheers

Surely you must be running out of ozzy stuff to hate?!! Or is your list long & distinquished? I can't wait till you get back to the "motherland" (or is it Das Fatherland) and read your post's on how wonderful it is to be back in England. Having said that some of your comment's are vvvvv funny.
Till the next time in the wonderful world of fishing, Yibbida Yibbida PB, and may you catch a big'un
Brox...soon to be in the south west of PB's favourite state.

Look I love Aussies just as much as they love the Poms , though I would not give one house room most are not house trained .
WA welcomes Poms its full of them just try and stick togther with other Poms the locals are feral.

Going to a new restaurant with this name in Brisbane on Saturday with the outlaws. Presumably this is one of Rex's latest ventures. Was it good in Melbourne?

it was'nt what you'd call a restaurant in melbourne, it was a massive chippy where they cook in the middle, all open plan. few tables, we sat out on the quay steps. there was loads of choice, remember here we only really get cod or plaice, but i was disappointed with fried flathead, a real teeny portion for one thing. the walls are plastered with rex's exploits we did'nt realise he'd been a copper and a footie star!
enjoy your dinner, i'm sure it will be an improvement!
