Daveo2160 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Stopped off at Swansea on the way back from Newcastle for a quick fish on the wharf out front off the RSL....The guy at Tackle World Marks Point said that would be a decent spot and suggested mullet fillet for bait and he was spot on my mate got a decent Australian Salmon on light gear.

Wellzy94 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 They're great fun mate! I've caught a few near Wollongong on 8lb off the rocks. Awesome fighting fish, shame they're no good to eat Cheers, Wellzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome fighting fish, shame they're no good to eat Cheers, Wellzy Certainly are a great fighting fish, lighter the gear the better too. Caught hundreds of them over the years using lures, bait and poppers. Only my thoughts, but Salmon aren't really that bad. As has probably been said heaps of times before, but caught fresh, bled properly, cut all the dark blood lines out and then cook fresh (definitely do not freeze them) they are quite tasty on the bbq or in the pan. They also smoke up a treat and go well in a curry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
