Fishing Favourite fish to catch in your state...

[Smokin_Joe]

i live in Darwin dont own a boat, but love fishing. I can drive 5 minutes from my house, on the low tide below a metre, fish the turn and there are barra galore. biggest has been about 80cm, and usually come home with something for tea.

100 meters up the road i can fish a high tide and land anything from mackeral, trevally queenfish etc. all this just 5 miuntes from the Darwin cbd!

Sure beats fishing for bream off the wharf down south in the freezing cold!

Quiet im jealous

I can watch my bombers down south though

Not my favourite fish for a fight but down here in Mandurah there is nothing better than pulling up a nice big WA Dhufish. They are a nice looking fish and taste absolutely awesome especially the wings.

(not me in the pic but a fair slab of fish there)

Balltearer!

They're catching some rippers up around Onslow at the moment. My folks are "wintering" up there at the moment. They're going about 15 mile off the coast a couple of times a week and routinely pulling in 15 to 20 pound dhufish... makes me sick!

My dad keeps telling me about a spot up there that he's fished in a bit called "Red Square". Apparently fishing in there you're as close as you can get to guaranteed of pulling up Red Emporer. They brought some down with them when they were in Perth a couple of weeks ago. As far as fish go, I tell ya, it just does not get any better!

I dont care what anyone says. Pound for pound, Flathead are the best eating fish in the world. Closely followed by Gummy Shark.

There I said it.

That must of been tough to say

West Australian Dhu Fish. What a fight.

Great to eat, dunno about great fight tho, they come up like a wet sack.


Most fun fish to catch in wa is a Samson Fish on Jig. Real tug of war fishing.


Also love chasing salmon, spanish mackeral, and Barra.

I caught a few bluebone off the coast in Kalbari WA.....now that was good eating fish.

 

[The Dice Man]

Tailor I caught today was mighty satisfying(after hooking 3 off them last week and line snapping everytime)... boosted my Rig this week and landed 2, lost one(hooks and all).


Was bloody beautiful filleted and panned within a couple of hours too.

Have the larger brother in the fridge ready for a season and roast for tomorows dinner

Can't go past the barramundi.

 

[Embers]

Up in the North West, get on a Tuna and they go bonkers. Good fun

As far as eating IMO you cant go past the Sand Whiting. Love them

 

[ColonelSanders]

I live in South Australia, and love getting onto some good snapper every now and again.

Where i live, fifteen kilo fish hardly raise an eyebrow, although my biggest is 14 kilo.

WA, near Warnbro sound. Love catching:

Flathead - always good to catch a Flatty, so cool looking and its always hilarious trying to pry them off the hook. I have the biggest catch out of me mates - 52cm. Tastes good.

King George Whiting - Love the taste, good fish.

Pinkies - THE fish to catch where I come from, its the most prized catch.

Tailor are shit whoever said Tailor.

Fishing down south is shit.

Fishing down south is shit.

South WA or south Perth.

South WA is far from shit if you know what you're doing

pinkies [ snapper ]

You've obviously never fished in the Kimberley then. Fishing down south is good, but nowhere near the quality of the absolute north. Fishing without crocodiles is weak.

Usually at least once every year or 2 actually, and i do a Pilbara trip every year without fail.

I like it because it's different, and its a style of fishing i don't get to do often. That said, i'd never call fishing down south shit by any stretch
