Favourite Saltwater Species

[Wesley_Pang]

Guys,

What's your favourite saltwater species?

Why is this species your favourite?

Wes

[antron]

My favorite is flathead. Not v exciting I know although the initial take still thrills. when I first ever took up FF I went down toYamba, kayaked out to a sandbank and immediately caught over a dozen wading in the shallows. Ive been hooked ever since. They are so reliable. You can catch them just about anywhere anytime and Ifind myself having the most relaxed time chasing (chasing flathead? stalking maybe) them.

[flytime]

Hi wes,
I would say it's between longtails and mangrove jack on fly.
They both have great fighting abilities and live in close / availability to home.Although i'm off on a barra trip in the Sandy Straits in two weeks. So many speices , so little time.
Steve :)

[nat_bromhead]

Hi Wes...Were talking about this on the boat today...
Probably Giant Herring.....
Because of the overall challenge, the take, the fight, the speed, the jumps, the knuckle dustings,...an all round fantastic fish...
Got some good ones in the surf at Dirk Hartog In W.A a few years ago but cant find the pics...bugger

[shawn]

I don't really have a favorite, but Tuna in general would be right up there. A few others would be Milkfish, Queenfish and Tarpon. My goal is still to land a Billfish on fly.......one day. ::)

[shawn]

Hervey Bay Queenfish.

[Dale_Tan]

Wes,

I have many to pick but what stands out the most is Ox eye herring or Tarpon. Tarpon are reasonably common and for its size it gives spectacular speed and acrobatics. They hit flies equally as hard as barras. They go absolutely berzerk when landed too. So guys, my favourite fish on fly is Tarpon. Dale

[Lucky_Mick]

Hi Wes,

I'm still relatively new to this ff lark and I wish I'd discovered it 30 years earlier.
Despite the absolute thrill of landing my first longy recently (and I want to catch alot more of them too) I think that the reel smokin' first run of a good mac tuna is a real buzz. ;D ;D ;D

Cheers,
Mick

PS Perhaps I oughta oil the spindle!

[duckbill]

For me it would have to be a toss up between a longy and a tarpon (the proper one - Megalops Atlanticus). Both really go like trains [smiley=2thumbsup.gif] [smiley=2thumbsup.gif] [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

Only picture I have...

They grow BIG - You can sightfish for them in gin clear shallow water - and they jump ;)

Locally I like barra for simular reasons as above 8)

[Wesley_Pang]

Sorry guy's

I've created a monster ;D ;D ;D

"More Glory" Mitchell. Is he a man or a flyfishing machine?

Scotto,

How about the Marlin, Sails, the Big G.T., monster Bonefish, spooky Permit, or Spaniard?

Or Wahoo? Sorry, I forgot, you didn't get one of those :-X.

You're going to be unbearable after you get a Papuan Black Bass.

You've promised me Tarpon just like that, only bigger.

Wes

[Scott_Mitchell]

Wes:Did you say billfish ;D

[Quinny69]

What can I say after those pics? :o Um Bream, Pike :-/
Duckbill, didnt know youd gone after Giant Tarpon, There the fish i really want to go after, they seem like the ultimate SW fly fish, One yr Ill spend a few weeks in Homassasa chasing them, when i win the lotto.
Dont know if there a fave but i do love our lil poons, good on lighter gear, never caught 1 the size of Dales though. MQ

[duckbill]

Quinny

When I was working in Gabon, West Africa I went out chasing tarpon a few times. Unfortunately I didn't manage to catch one on fly for more than one reason: I only had an 8 weight with me, and the biggest I caught on conventional tackle was estimated between 100/110kg!!! Would have been fun on an 8 weight. The water there is very murky, but there were lots of lagoons apparently teeming with baby tarpon, but I didn't have any way of getting to the lagoons (1 hour drive through forest and sand dunes) and onto the lagoons... Will always regret not having had more time there :'( :'( :'(

[Wesley_Pang]

My favourite species is the Tailing Hervey Bay Golden Trevally. The purple camo Abel gets around ;D
http://members.optusnet.com.au/wpang/Images/golden_0402.jpg

I love wading in gin clear water and sight fish. It's the closest thing I've found in Australia to compare with Christmas Island(Kiribati) Bonefish. It's a shame we haven't got any bonefish flats in Australia to compare to the huge expanses of CI.

Paris Flats Christmas Island Kiribati

Love to hook up a Milkfish, Snubbie, Yellowfin Tuna and Marlin.

Wes

P.S. Scotto, keep looking for those Wahoo shots, they'll be with the big Snapper ones ;D ;D

[johhno]

but i still like the goldens best :)

[nat_bromhead]

I did this with a group of mates in grade six.....
The toilet wall was about 5 foot high.

Still fun when your a grown up isnt it....

[Scott_Mitchell]

P.S. Scotto, keep looking for those Wahoo shots, they'll be with the big Snapper ones ;D ;D

Nice Goldie Wes - and your right I can't find those BIG snapper shots either - The Sambell must have them :D

John = Was the Wahoo on fly [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

Regards Scotto

[Matt_Campbell]

I envy you blokes for some of those pics. I wish I were your travel agent.

Wes - I can't go past longtails. They look good, eat flies, fight hard and, as Steve said, you can get at them fairly easily. Heres a pic of a fish I caught about a 1/2 hour from my local boat ramp one afternoon after work in a 15 foot tinny on a trip that cost me about $5 in fuel.

[flytime]

No wonder the tuna didn't have a chance. You had your war paint on... ;D ;D ;D ;D
Steve :)

[jeffo]

:o :o thats a serious species list youve got going there scott..gorgeous little black!!

[Wesley_Pang]

Jeffo,

Scotto, only catch all those fish to provide us with better customer service.

I've heard that line so many times I'm almost starting to believe it. ;D ;D

He's a mine of useful information. That's if you can get him on the line. He's often away fishing rather than in his shop though.

Wes

[Jack_Lives_Here]

I've had limited fishing but am a definite fishing slut. - I'll throw a fly or lure at anything with fins. I'm the same as Flytime - LT's and then Jacks, only because the blinkers have been on only for for LT's the last few summers. Those longies are just awesome on their runs and when you can see the fish eat your fly it's like everyone has kicked a goal. ;D
Hanging out for the new Fisher - look out then be able to get some more of that salt water back in my veins to wash out the dust from the west.

[Brian_H.]

Great thread with some excellent pics.
Even though it might not count because it is a Yank vote (although I have caught a few on fish on the fly in Oz) my hands down vote is for a big Tarpon on the flats (over 100 pounds). They are as tough as they come, really challenging to stay connected for the whole fight, jump like mad, and are in less than a meter of water.
Sight fishing in very shallow water is I think the pinnacle of saltwater fly fishing.
I sure do like your Barras too though!
Cheers,
Brian H.

[SNELLY]

Brain,

Catching a Tarpon over 100 is something I aspire to.

3kg / 6.6lb pulls our Tarpon up over here but still great fun. I have seen a video of your Tarpon and they do the same thing as our ie Jump, pull hard and daisy chain but just don't get to the size of yours

Snelly

[Wesley_Pang]

Brian,

Welcome.

Have you got any images of the "Silver Kings"?

How about the snook? They are a bit like our barra.

Big Tarpon is definately on my "To-Do" list. Big fish in shallow water, that jump.

I love fishing in shallow clear water where you can see the fish and present the fly. Golden Trevally do that for me. If only they jumped.

Wes

[Quinny69]

Hey Brain, is your last name Horsley?
Nat, I was never good at this game, some blokes live for it though.
PS Dolphin fish are pretty cool too.You can sight fish em, they are obbsesed with poppers, they look fantastic,and run and jump with the best of them. Prob like a Queenie, which Ive never caught. :-/ Matt Quinn

[jeffo]

lmao wes!! "better customer service".. any excuse will do i spose ::) :o ;D
i cant even lay claim to many of those species on "conventional" gear... let alone a fly rod. my fly rod species list stands at school mackeral, flathead and pike i think :-/ ::)

[Scott_Mitchell]

The other one I like is " Some ones got to do it - AND it should be me ;D "

I have been very lucky to work in an industry which I love and has helped me further my fishing for over 20 years.I was actually interested to know how many species I've caught on fly alone - so sat down and started working it out at 136 different critters :o

I like to set goals - Bring on those PNG bass next February 8)

Regards Scotto

[flytime]

Scott,
Would be intersting to know what flys and fly gear your taking to tussel with the spot tails ?

[Scott_Mitchell]

Flytime:I'll be using my trusty Loomis Cross Current GLX #12 wht - with Abel Super 12 reel , RIO 70lb Core 500 Deep seas and Tarpon intermediate lines ( Depending on conditions ) 80lb Jinkai leader straight through and I'll be wearing gloves ;)

Geoff Skinner has tied me some large fat ablberst and flashy profiles - and I also have some BIG floating deer hair creations if needed. I' m hang'in to catch a black & spot tail bass - especially on fly 8)

Also have my eye on a BIG Mackerel up at Groote in November - just a bit bigger than Morsies ;D

Regards Scotto

[flytime]

Hi Scott,
I'll always remember watching Harro in his video using a 15 # on them. Reel hand to hand stuff that was !!!

[Brian_H.]

Wes,
Sorry I don't have any digital pics, all mine are slides. I did just get back last week from the Keys and caught a Slam in under 3 hours! I was thrilled. Small tarpon (8 pounds) caught on a Merkin, 9 pound Bone (my biggest yet!), and my first Permit ever (baby)!! My guide Dave Dekert said he has been guiding in Islamorada for 10 years and I was the first person to get a fly only Slam on his boat. I got pretty lucky.
Matt Quinn, my last name is Hastings.
I am looking forward to catching alot more of your fish down there. Looks like I am moving to Port Douglas next year. Should be fun!
Cheers,
Brian Hastings

[Wesley_Pang]

Brian,

Congratuation on the "Grand Slam". Well done.

Scotto has got a "Slam" too. I thought I'd get it in before he does. 1st day too wasn't it. More arse, than class ;D ;D ;D

He's promised me a "Grand Slam" in Cuba. Or was that just rum and cigars ;) ;)

Wes

[duckbill]

Wes,

I'd be careful with the Cuban Grand Slam:

Un puta - a whore
Un cigarillo - a cigar
gonorrea - the clap

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[Wesley_Pang]

Bananaman,

Thanks for that.

I'll just go for the Bonefish, Permit, Tarpon, then lots of Rum and a Cigar.

Wes

ahh.. but has any one got a REAL grand slam on fly ;) ;D ::)

[Scott_Mitchell]

ahh.. but has any one got a REAL grand slam on fly ;) ;D ::)

I caught an IGFA official in-shore grand slam in Placencia Belize a few years 17 lb Permit , 3lb bonefish and 25lb tarpon -Pretty happy with that I can tell you 8)

[jeffo]

ok then offshore grand slam ;D striped,black and blue. hehe.. one day jeffo.. one day...siiigh ::)

[Nogster]

I'm still recovering from catching a Longy on my little cheapy outfit a year or so ago with Matty (Indian Warrior) Campbell.

However, taking 3/4 hour to bring her in didn't do her any good, but pretty sure she survived to fight another day

norm

[Quinny69]

Great Longtail mate, good pic. What was the "cheapie"outfit used?, never under estemate the cheep stuff, its whos using it that counts. Matt Q

[Nogster]

The rod was an Angler "Toga" 8# and the reel an Orvis Rocky Mountain 7/8.

I have now bought a custom made Loomis 10wt IMX matched with a Gold Penn 10/11 to subdue these guys a little quicker hopefully.

[andy_thomsen]

Hi Wes,

The Permit, or Snub-nosed-oyster-cracking-permit-dart has my vote.
They are so bloody hard to get, wich makes it more of a challenge.
I just can't get enough of them, or maybe it's the stigma attached to them, they have me hooked.

[andy_thomsen]

Hey Nat,

I saw your Queenfish on page 2, thats not a Queenfish, this is a Queenfish...... :P

[Wesley_Pang]

Andy,

Thanks for that ;D.

The Snubbie have a great reputation for been very hard to catch. Us flyfisherman are so perverse, we enjoy the challenge. If we want it to be easy we wouldn't use the fly rod would we.

I'm planning to spend some time and resources next year on them . I've got both Aussie Tarpon and bonefish. I need to complete the set ;D

The Queenies on the other hand are suicidal. Great flyfishing species. Take just about any fly especially poppers, and jump. Big Queenies are rare though.

Here a little one

Even Katrina likes catching them - and they're always bigger than mine ;)

Too many fish - Too little time 8)

[SNELLY]

Hey Wes,

Would that be Kilkenny or Bananaboy in the background there ?

[basserman]

were their any crocs in the area that you caught that queeniy wes???
just looking at the bloke on the surf ski danggling his legs like a croc lure ;D

[Wesley_Pang]

Guys,

Queenies are made for the flyrod.

I caught mine in Hervey Bay. I didn't know there were big Queenies up there. I nail that one in front of a family having a picnic and a little paddle. Almost ran over it. Backed the boat back and dropped the clouser in front of it. The leader was barely out of the top guide. A few jump and quickly boated for a few pics. I had to jump into the water to revive it. Queenies sometimes don't revive too well.

Read a report in this issue of "Fishing World" about 12kg(that's a whopper, did they mean 12lb) Queenie that was caught off the Kingfisher Bay(Fraser Island) jetty which caused ciguatera poisoning. Serves them right for eating such a beautiful fish.

Wes

P.S. Scotto you're getting better with Photoshop. It's amazing how you can make a small fish look so large ;D. You must be getting tired of colour of the reel Katrina using, last years colours :-[. I'll take it off your hands and you can move onto the new seasons colour. ;)

P.P.S You need to flip both images too. It looks like the reels are left-hand wind.

[Scott_Mitchell]

Wes:I actually just got Photo shop Elements - still learning how to drive it .Good to see your paying attention with the scanning - I'll be able to just change the colour of those reels in photo shop soon ;D

Queenfish are a great flyrod species - and have really made a few trips up North for us.Can't wait to get back up there next year with my daughter along those beaches South of Weipa :)

Regards Scotto

[hiflyer]

I love mulloway on fly. From someone I know that has caught ridiculous numbers of bothmulloway and barra on the fly, they are apparrently much more similar than just their appearance. Good fun sight casting to them too!

[hiflyer]

You have probably all seen these pictures before!! I got to get some new ones........
Here is a close up of the fish in the previous picture.

[hiflyer]

I have only caught two on fly so far, but I hope to significantly increase my tally over the next few months, starting tomorrow. I will be fishing the same location that I caught my first two fish. Hopefully they will be around!

This picture is of my second jewie on fly, not quite as big as the first, yet still satisfying to watch it leave the school to chase your fly down and eat it!

[hiflyer]

for those of us stuckdown south, nothing is as exciting (without being too brutal.....kingfish!) as the australian salmon. Hopefully I get stuck into a few of these over the coming months too. It has been too long. The picture shows my firs SW fish on fly. A beautiful specimen, although I hooked others that were bigger. Also caught sight casting off the rocks as the salmon smashed into little baitfish schools :).

Cheers

Adam

[rlbgfish173]

I hope y'all don't mind another yank vote, if I was limited to only one type of fish for the rest of my days and didn't need it for food it would have to be Mr. BONEFISH, I can't think of anything better than stalking a flat and hunting the
Grey Ghost. (if I needed to eat Tuna would be on the menu).
Pat

[Maxg]

Not a good pic, but that was 1972 and NO-ONE has duplicated it yet, thats 30 years on top. 2 Cobes off rocks.
Max

[Maxg]

Just thought I 'd add that to the brag swag. Most of the stuff on this post cost a few million buks to get. The Cobes cost a half tank of unleaded and a 1 mile walk. Max

[mabo]

max your a champ i know how hard they pull on a short stroker little lone a fly rod ;)

cheers john. ;D

By the way, a bloke here in the west said, in 1966, "A queenfish is put on earth to make a flyfishermans paradise, or hell if you are watching another fly guy with one on the hook" The guy was a yank called Cal Hoover, ex USN, lived in Onslow, Could really fish, especially with a fly rod. Max.

[Fin_Addict]

Blue Salmon would be my species of choice on fly ;D

[Craig_Radford]

'fraid it's a bit hard to top those fish from far flung spots that Scotto has posted - being a stay at home and do it all yerself kind of flyfisher but here's a couple of my fav's
YFT'S

[Craig_Radford]

man sized longtails...24kg's

[Craig_Radford]

20kg sambos'.....thats Samsonfish WA style

[Quinny69]

AWSOME NODDY, AWSOME [smiley=happy.gif] Great Pics matt Quinn

[Craig_Radford]

Macks are OK too. And you don't need $2000 outfits to stop them.
25y/o Hardy Marquis (no drag, just rim control and a clicker) and a 22y/o Fenwick fibreglass rod..16kg mack taken in '97. 6kg tippet and White Deciever....just like Max G did 25 years before that...and off the shore too boot!!

[Craig_Radford]

Better put one in of me and a YFT..30.5kg on 10. Out of my 18 foot boat with the most inexperienced crew one could find.

The previous YFT was Richard Sallie's 43.5 kg fish on 8. To date the biggest taken on fly that counts (IGFA legal) and one that will be in the charts for a long time.

Hey Scotto, I'm gunna be in Exmouth next week and that mack of Morsies is looking pretty shaky. You better get a goodun if ya want it to make the charts!!! :'(

Gotta love pi$$ing contests ;D ;D ;D

[Randall_Bryett]

It's always nice when you are playing cards to be holding the Ace!

Nice fish guys!
In the words of the singing bearded burbler "you gotta know when to hold em know when to fold em" I am folding guys..you and Noddy are playing with stacked decks. I'm a newbie to this fly stuff and Blue Marlin on fly are pretty common these days anyhow, so take me chips before you throw that Triple Tail down!! Might have been the first Aussie with a Atlantic Permy on fly? but you got the Indo Pacific combo first so that hands stuffed..(BTW you and any aussie with a permit on fly should join http://www.dopap.com/ just for laughs.
Anyway you guys WIN . So I am gunna scale down from the big salty stuff and will stick to small "man size" trout in ankle deep water on ultra tiny dries for a whilehttp://www.############.com/myegallery.php?&do=showpic&pid=593&orderby=dateD and of course chasing the steelheads like this little fella my mate caught this morning http://www.############.com/myegallery.php?&do=showpic&pid=587&orderby=dateD . However to save a bit of face,last month I managed to catch Sailfish,Yellowfin Tuna, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, Coho and my new saltwater favorite http://www.############.com/gallery/gallery/flyfish/saltwater/neahbay/rockonfly.jpg on fly and it will suffice until I get back for a dose of OZ!

All the best and in the spirit of fun
