The Best Fish in thee Sea to Catch.

[NeilD]

Any of the lutjanids, Trout, Cobia, big Spaniards and Jacks all give give me a thrill. I would also like to tryout a Black Bass, Dogtooth and Wahoo. I also get a real kick out of large Whiting and descent Greenbacks. So many fish and so little time.

well.. gotta say.. either amberjacks or cobia.. caught both on a trip with the mack mauler.. both on soft plastics.. for around 45mins of foreplay.. the cobia was my best fish.. going at around 18kgs.. it wasnt a bad effort on Rob's 8kg spin gear..

creek fish?? i wont go past Jacks in snags... jew in deep holes.. but even they are limited.. they've got 1 good run then they are usually stuffed

I would have to say mackerel (schoolies and spaniards). They are so unpredictable and just getting a hookup seems impossible at times. The fight is never the same between fish but is usually spectacular in some way. No fish have I seen run with such speed, and take out big baits with such power and aggression. The best part is frying up those prime fillets fresh from the ice slurry.

hahahaha.... is there any competition??

1. BLACK MARLIN

2. SAILFISH

3. BLUE MARLIN

if i cant be chasing billfish any of the speedsters or thugs of the ocean will do. ie. hoo,mackeral,aj's,kings and cobes.

Estuary Cod and Moses Perch fished out of little muddy mangrove creeks. Just love the way the behave in there and strike at your lure/bait whatever. Estuary Cod would have to be one of my favourite species of all time - really enjoy catching them and putting a few back.

Hmmmm..

GTs at any size but especially over 30kg.

Fingermark and Jacks in shallow water (under 20 feet) on inshore reefs. A 3kg fish will just about waste you on 50lb braid - and when you get done you can only giggle.

It's even better when you see the fish smash you up.

I'd have to say catching Australian Salmon while they are boiling the water around your little 12ft tinnie, throwing small spinners at them on 2kg line on a light spinning rod and finally landing one that's around the 4-5 pound mark - now that's fun!

As I said in my opening statement, anything that you go out to target and catch is a good thing and makes for a successful, enjoyable outing. Catching a big Snapper in Moreton Bay is a lot different from chasing Wahoo; you get my drift. All fishing is relative to the area you are fishing and the species you are chasing. I get a buzz out of catching big Bream in shallow water and from catching big Wahoo on the troll. I just love being out on the water as all the world's problems don't seem to matter out there. Pulling an 8-kilo Snapper or a 5-kilo Pearlie or a big Amberjack or Cobia just puts the icing on the cake.

Cheers,
BIGNICK.

I would have to say spinning for mackerel
spinning flat out HIT and let it run, my two sons are adicted to it they spin with no barbs and don't even care if they drop then at the boat.
What a great sport and it's only 10min off my doorstep.
they will be here in the next week or so
Cheers Steve---
