    Why arent Gaffetops treated like a Fresh Water cat?

    I been able to catch a mess of them while trying to hook into huge specs and bull reds, once you get past the danger of being finned by them and the slime, they are quite easy to fillet. Once fried, they taste quite good, much like the Fresh Water cats, more specifically the farmed raised...

Previous owner said he saw some type of spark on the motor I think...
