Your favourite fish to catch

[macdwp01]

What is your favourite fish to catch, personally i can't go past a thumping red throat emperor. Cheers

[Da-Jew-Man]

That nice big Silver Jewie with the Yellow Throat and those beautiful Pink Eyes.
I'm in love. :-* :-* :-* :-*

[dfox]

REDS,reds and more bloody reds....

[basserman]

geez what a tough question!
ok bream and bass on lures
whitting for tucker
and dollies and tuna for light line fun ;D

[mackmauler]

marlin and bait.

[philip_thomson]

[smiley=2thumbsup.gif] ;DMARLIN ;D [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

the way they fight
the way they look at you when you have caught em
their brute power

PRICELESS

[bignick]

All the good-eating reef species, the likes of Snapper, Pealies and Red Emperor (if I'm lucky). Love chasing Snapper in Moreton Bay and Spotties when they're here. As far as the pelagic species are concerned, Wahoo is on the top of my list as they are great to catch and they are also good eating.

Cheers,
NICK.

To me the best fish to catch are gar on a long light rod and 1 kg line. Mini-marlin.

One of the sweetest fish to eat as well.

[Sideshow_Cod]

having thought about it , ::)

I dont think I have a real preference , except maybe for larger fish. :-/

[philip_thomson]

got to agree with derek and basserman on the garfish. so much fun to catch garfish and they make good tucker as well

[Cheech]

Has never changed for me. Snapper and Flathead :o yes flathead. There are some better tasting fish, lots that are more of a challenge, but I just love these fish.

[2DKnBJ]

As a kid i remember i was happy catching any fish at all that was until i caught my first JACK ;D ;D

[ba229]

lol in my current state of boat, my favorite fish is Tailor on light gear with chromies. Good funand easy for me to find.

[blaze]

The good old australian salmon on light gear, or fly. They might hang deep for a bit then spend the rest of the fight tail walking around the boat. Never caught a marlin but these little guys give such a good account of them selfs I think the fight would be just as good when the ratio is 6:1 and unlike tuna they dont give up.
The good old gummy shark to eat.
cheers

Barra. Caught 'Barramundi Fever' 11 years ago and can't seem to shake it. Thousands of dollars later, a 4Wd, boat and all of my annual holidays and I'm still trying to catch one bigger than the last! ;D ;D

[jeffo]

haha. silly question
1.black marlin
2.striped marlin
3.sailfish
4. blue marlin

[nonibbles]

At the rate that I actually get to go fishing lately, anything that hits the deck. Especially if it is actually the fish I am targeting - Makes all the effort just that little bit more worthwhile.
For eating: Jacks

[Reefmaster]

Reds for bottom bashing.
and Marlin on the troll.

[jeffo]

marlin on the troll eh greg :o lmao.

[mako_5.2]

[Mick]

Favourite fish to catch are tasty ones that are big.

[devocean]

Spanish and trout in the blue but its hard to beat a good jack which burns your finers till they are bleeding

[bobby777888]

for eating you cant go past a nice jack or pearlie......... i love to catch coal grunter, jp's and toga because me and the old man put them straight into big aerated drums and into our fish tanks, you really appreciate the fish you catch alot more this way.....................

[runamuk]

I move back to the Sunshine Coast later in the year & one of the things I will miss about Sydney fishing is the Australian salmon. Blaze is on the money. They are the poor man's marlin. Try one about 2-3K on light gear and you will be very very impressed with their fighting capabilities. The fact that they school up & you can cast to them for an hour or so makes it even more fun.

[MulletMan]

Blackbream - niggers - luderick!
Call 'em what you like but for skill, fighting and a thrill, you can't go past them! On a par with fly fishing I reckon where you have to know a bit about the rigs, bait and techniques to bring home a feed! Not a brilliant taste but on a par with Happy Moments!

[Black_Rat]

Jewies ! ;D still hunting the big one :(

[slugo]

TROUT..because if i am fishing for trout i know i am on holidays and not at work

[iank]

if it swims I will have a go at it (dont think I have targeted toadies yet ;D) favorite fish depends on what the tides/conditions are on the day I am out.
Cheers Ian

[getwet]

these will do me. fight like hell and arnt bad on the chew either

cheers mal

[Screaming_Eagle]

murray cod on surface lures...booofa

[speckly]

bass on white spinnerbaits are real good fun yellowbelly on ridgebacks and murray cod on surface lures :o

[basserman]

not on black and red spinner bait! ;D

[agnes_jack]

Jacks by miles!!!
I love going to where I catch them, being where I catch them, and although only a short fight,the challenge of extracting them from thier home snag. Top that off with the fact that they are superb eating...... Luv em ;) ;) ;)

Regards, Tony

[devocean]

Im with you agnes, jacks all the way. Every single jack you catch is always special dont know why I guess they just have a quality about them that no other fish can match.

[yellahunter]

Mighty Murray Cod. unreal on lures and even better on surface lures!!!! no better rush than a surface lure getting eaten in the pitch black at your feet, and scaring the shit out of you as if someone has just thrown a boulder over your head!!

love all the freshwater fish! :D :D
