1968 ???? thats a long time ago.....
Funny you say that, over the years it has been the "catch cry" that "catty" taste like mud and i will admit the ones i had tryed had tasted like mud, that was until we were living in Maningrida and fishing out at the old barge landing up the river for "jewie", there was one of the local guys there and he caught a nice sized Jewie and proceeded to cut it up for bait, as he explained to catch them "sea catfish", and he did just that and threw the remains of the jewie back in the water, i simply could not belive it that he would do that, a few trips later and we caught a nice big, big catty and said to the missus that we will keep this one to try to see if it is any better, we filleted it and it was one of the better fish i have ever eaten, firm white meat, NO muddy taste would have beaten barra at the time......

Caught a cattie today in the Cairns Inlet. I always take them to eat. No size & bag limit, I just rip off the fillets to satisfy the fishos and skin them when I get home. I usually bleed them in a bucket of water after catching.
As my old Grant's Guide says, "a much maligned eating fish".

Should also add, will be up your way late July, early August so will drop in and say gday.

Let us know when a bit closer, we are looking at going to WA for a few weeks around then...
