b'The writers last gurnard was almost 50cm long and surprisingly in roe when gutted.This can be a huge differenceTasty fresh gurnard fillets, because if you have a bank that leadsherb and panko crumbed to deeper water, without anotherare sure hard to beat.bank or gut behind it, you will hook more fish and often bigger ones.On Monday after lunch, an old school mate Brian Snooks who lives in Dargaville came out to Baylys Beach to collect me in his ute as we loaded up and headed down the beach looking for a good bank.On the drive south we saw plenty of banks that had small guts behind them and a second bank further out, these will hold fish, but I really wanted an open sand bank.We spent an hour looking at our options when we doubled back to look at a spot we passed earlier and thought was the best and with the tide now quickly dropping, we found it now offered perfect bank with deeper water behind the last wave to cast out into the open water. /FISHINGINGODZONE17'
