awesome report, never caught a blackfish nor have ever eaten it.

Whats it like flavour wise? i have heard it can taste a bit vegan and not much flavour? similiar taste to tailor or bream?

i think they taste similar to a bream but thats my 2 cents. it was my 1st season this year to get a few and i quite like them, cant wait for next season.

theres a guy on youtube called sticky fishy fishing, he has some good lude vids.

 

agree with the others, i dont think it needs a specialised rod. any long soft rod will do. also depends where you are fishing, casting etc. you cuold get away with a 7ft rod in some places, but a 10ft soft rod would be fine. in my opinion no need to spend big bucks

for 120 bucks you cant go wrong with this https://www.a shop.com.au/p/wilson-blackfish-spinning-rod-10ft-2-piece/112078.html

and sticky from that youtube channel uses the same rod now as well as you see on he channel he uses it for bream drummer and assorts of fishing too.

Hey guys! Just wondering if any of you guys have any cheap good rods for luderick and reels. Oscarthebeagle told me a good starting point. I asked my sister if its in stock and she said no, unfortunately they won't continue to make this rod so i am asking for a little help from you guys if you would be kind enough to point me in the right direction. Also if i find one myself should i buy a 10ft rod for estuary blackfishing or smaller or larger rods?

Thanks again, JamoDamo 

its my 1st season of this type of fishing i just got my self a wilson black fish rod from a shop its pretty good got it when it was on sale then any spinning reel you have spare laying around. next season i am going to go for a center pin reel. then any float that your local tackle shop sells. the only thing i would say to get is the sunline leader i found i had most success with this leader but thats what i found. its a very fun different type of fishing

Yum one of my favourite fish to put on the plate!

Very under rated fish in the kitchen, cheap too at the markets. 

yeah i rate them now pretty high on my fish eating now, and easy to get at my local area.
