Pretty cool!! Not seen that one before.

clever - caught needlefish with red wool / frayed red kevlar this year!

Vanuatu, they have been doing it for years, looks so easy wrapping those webs together-but it is a art.

 

[Tim Murphy]

That is stylish, ingenuity gone mad!

 

[Adrian]

did you notice the clarity of that water too!

 

[Tom Massey]

that's pretty cool. really like the idea of kite fishing!


aren't they like garfish though? I didn't think they were good eating? :-?

 

[Andy Marquis]

garfish are an acquired taste IMO. Have tried them and I don;t care for them, but they are similar to mackerel, just more bones and the bones are green, which makes it easier to find I guess. The flesh is a darker colour, like mackerel.

 

[Tom Massey]

ah right, fair one! cheers for that.

 

[Matt Newcombe]

Thanks for that Andy. I wonder if they developed that technique especially for the Gars?

 

[Mark Sleep]

It must do. They are one of the only species whose little toothy beaks would stick to that web literally like velcro. It would take a sizable spider and web to make one to hold the larger billfish!
