Representative fish

[Lucky_Phill]

Hi Guys and gals.

I would like your thoughts and votes on what you deem to be Queensland fish. That is, when you think of fishing in Queensland, what fish do you think of.

I have nominated several, but am open to ideas.

Cheers Phill

[FNQCairns]

Barra has gotta be the NT fish, Coral trout for QLD, would like to say Reds but seriously they grace far less typical anglers family dinner tables than the trouts do.

cheers fnq

I put several, including Barra, Emperor, Mackeral (I'm assuming you mean spanno?) and Barra, plus I selected 'other'. A couple of fish my NSW rellies keep asking to catch when they visit is either a jack or 'those big gold things you caught', ie fingermark.

[nickstock]

When a state is mentioned I always think of the species that I would target.

QLD- Red Emperor, Coral Trout & Black Marlin
N.T - Barra & Fingermark
W.A - Sailfish, Blue Bone & monster Spainards (think Steep Point)
NSW - Blue Marlin, Yellowfin & Mako
VIC- Snapper & Southern Bluefin
Tas- Southern Bluefin, Rainbow Trout
S.A- 30 lb Snapper (think Whyalla)
ACT- Trout & Redfin

I associate the humble whiting to Vic.
The King George whiting that is because you cannot catch a summer whiting in Vic 'cause it's never summer ;)

[Pedrokkas]

I would have to say coral trout, but after recently having some big red emperor sesh I have to go with them.

[bushweek]

Nile perch or Bassa??
Seems most QLDer's eat the crap :-[


yer mate, this is true to a degree, lots of people that dont fish eat the shit nd buy it from woolies or coles:-[
i would rather catch dinner myself
but in my opinion i reckon for qld i would have to say spotty macs or mangrove jack, but thats just me

[Ozie_3]

the true queensland fish.....after several bourbons....

has gotta be

without doubt

the...
Pineapple Fish (Cleidopus gloriamaris)


yeah it may be an aquarium species but how bloody queensland can you get....

maybe i should drink bundy rum.....

cheers chris (ex cocky 34 years ago)

[Lucky_Phill]

Thanks so far guys and gals.

I like some suggestions and the Pineapple Fish has great appeal..

Looks as if the winners are Reds and Trout.

I will let you know the results of why I asked this soon and thanks again for participating.


Cheers Phill

[Sea-Dog]

The King George whiting that is because you cannot catch a summer whiting in Vic 'cause it's never summer ;)

I heard they had a 47°C day down there a few months back.

[revs57]

Whatt???? No Tusk fish, Gold Spot Cod, Queenfish? Coronation trout?

Well I suppose they aren't the first species to jump at you -

Yep, I'd reckon for a represenatative fish - the Red emp (FNQ, NQ, CQ, Limited SEQ) , the black marlin (FNQ/NQ/CQ/SEQ) and the humble snapper (SEQ/CQ)

[STUIE63]

how can we get 239 votes from 108 people voting there seems to be an awful lot of each way betting going on

Tailor - the one that all can chase - no need for a flash boat - fish off the shore - narrowneck with a simple rig - the sojourn to Fraser - tales of Tailor - tales of tailor and sharks - the alvey reel - the first use of jigs - three hook rigs - pilchards, sea gar - soft plastics - tailor have to be the iconic queensland fish - they are fun to catch my father, grandfather and others hunted them - they fight - they bite - we all love to learn on them - they are tasty and make great bait - and a great meal - what more can you want........Geeb

[hoodunnit]

The good old pig fish!

[Tangles]

SO is there a winner? coral trout or red emperor?

mike

[Mrs Ronnie H]

Hi all
My immediate thought was Flathead but after some serious thought --- whatever the species its all nice to eat (With the exception of those bloody Grinners.:) )and we have the best of both Salt and Freshwater fish up here.

Ronnie LOL

Close call Mike, but the Coral trout wins the poll by just a snout looking at the results this morning. Although the Reddie would also be a good representation of QLD too - gee we are blessed with choice up here aren't we.
