Geniuses

Yes, they are especially good barbequed or baked in a leaf. The meat is a bit tough and you may want to leave the skin.

Trevally and Cucumber in Cabbage Rolls

Ingredients:

8 large outside cabbage leaves (any variety, ie white, savory or chinese)
600g trevally fillets (skinned and boned)
200g cucumber (peeled and sliced)
100g butter
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Sea salt
2 teaspoons peppercorns

Blanch the cabbage leaves for 1 minute in boiling water, then plunge into cold water and drain. In 100g butter softly cook the trevally fillets until half done, then remove.

Lay the cabbage leaves flat. Put some trevally, cucumber slices onto each leaf, then sprinkle with spices and drizzle with butter from the pan. Roll up into tight parcels.

To finish cooking use either a steamer, or pan with 1/2 cm of water and a lid, over moderate heat.

Serve with a fresh tomato sauce. Makes 4 servings.

Arun,

Yorkshire Boy,

Today I was fishing with a 10' medium heavy conventional rod for them.
I always miss hook up with conventionals , Missed a hook up with a GT and also a 4' barracuda that took the Hopkins metal lure and was up in the air like a rocket.

Maruthu

Thanks for the pics Maruthu, Yes Ken the Mandeli is amazing with cold one.

Thanks Murathu for sharing the pics.

If the phtograph is taken at the spot where you landed the fish, then it means you were casting from the Beach and the place is not rocky. Is it correct?

Regards,

Arun

Incredible fish. Just how far out from the beach did it take the lure.

Cool,
Landing one from shore is fabulous. Congrats for your first but not the last G.T.
Keep it up..

Ali..

Hi Maruthu,

Cheers,
Madhur.

Greattttttttttttt

Hey there Matey!

Was looking at the pictures again and drooling. Then I noticed that you reel was on the sand.

Just a word of caution mate but that's the best way to kill that reel fast. Sand is a reels worst nightmare.

cheers

Thanks again everyone for the kind and encouraging words.

Arun, you are right about the location.

Ken, the fish took the popper when it was within 10 yards from me.

Madhur, as far as I know the GTs were feeding in the first gut between the wash (i.e bottom of the foot) and the first sand bar which should be approximately 80 yards.

Maruthu

Uploaded the video in Youtube .
Sorry about the quality, I asked a stranger to capture the scene when the fish was almost done.

Hi Maruthu,

Fantastic!! That's a very respectable fish on the gear you were using.

I hope this opens up a new world of surface fishing for you. But beware!!! It's a highly addictive form of fishing.

Please feel free to ask me for any info that you might want/need. Would be pleased to help.
