A very under rated fish, I once bought one from my local monger at $6.45kg, pretty cheap for a good fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 G'day Rick. Late reply to your report. Terrible feeling breaking a rod especially when the fish are eager to feed. Hope you have better luck with the new gear and still manage to haul some Luderick in. Cheers mate, bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
