Don't do any fishing outside.
Overall I would say Flathead because you don't really have to know an area , you don't need a lot of gear, you can just pull up on the side of the road near a spot grab the spin rod out the back and have a flick in most Australian tidal estuary's, rivers and Beaches.
They take many baits live, frozen or fresh cut-baits,they take many HB lures, many shapes size and colour plastics.
They release well and the are also quite nice in the pan.
*You need to add Flathead to the poll.
Flathead! I knew I forgot an important one. They are a great fish because like dan said they are so accessable, hardy and tasty. Sorry to all those people who had their favourite fish missing. I tried to think of the most popular ones but there is only space for 20 fish. Once again post your fish if it is missing.
Cheers

Not my favourite but I do enjoy catching tailor on light gear. They respond well to plastics, hardbodies, slugs and surface presentations...
Would have to be fingermark or golden snapper.....Great fight, looks great and great on the dinner plate. 2 thumbs up.
cheers from boony
Fishing can be defined as "A jerk on one end of the rod, waiting for a jerk on the other".
"Fishing was around along time before you darling"
Where is the mangrove jack?
Jack.
And eel-tailed catfish?
Or even forky-tailed catfish?
Just kidding.
Catching...I like catching bream.
Eating....I like anything the cook serves me.
But I'll have to say that I don't target a species. I'll happily accept anything committing suicide and I'm not skilled enough to target a species.
I intend on living for-ever....so far so good
thats what i thought when i went through the list and thats where ill be puting my tickWhere is the mangrove jack?
Maybe remove Drummer and Australian Salmon, then remove the freshwater species (another thread for that).
That might let you add a few, like the above mentioned + Trevally species.
A National survey of anglers about 5 years ago came up with flathead as the most targeted Australian fish.Originally Posted by Jason Killen
Yep put me down for Flathead aswell. Dan has all the reasons covered.
+ one for flathead
Trevs for me, cant beat the thrill on 4lb.
Kingfish are good
Barra for me because of where you go to catch them in the big rivers. Its not just the fish on the line but the whole experience.
