    Whats whats

    Now Ive had this been put to me before, And the Question is, A garfish is a garfish, and a sawery is a what? I know what a sawery is, and I hope I have the spellings right, but are they the same? Who knows the diffrance? It may be a smiple Question for some. CLUE! Yellowfin hunt them. And if you know what they are, were do you set the hook.

    Sauri's are a bit like gar, but they dont have the long snout.....are a bit thicker through the body and have a red tip on the lower jaw. They are definitely the 'gun' bait for yellowfin, marlin and broadbill. rab emI know of blokes that have paid $20 each for dead sauris when going to a game tournament. they are generally not available through the bait suppliers...but every once in a while someone puts a net around a school and a few find their way to the market. If this happens ......grab em......they are deadly.

    cheers

    From memory,

    Sauri are a bait fish species used as either live baits or trolling baits for gamefish.

    Don't think they're an Oz fish, more US.

    rig em as you would a single hook rig in a dead yakka/slimey/pike......the only way to fish em is to slow troll em. Single seamaster 10/0 through the mouth and out the belly. bit of copper wire to close the mouth......sit back and hang on

    like most pelagic species - they are not confined to the US, one of the reasons the tuna species roam the oceans is to follow food sources.....one of the food sources of the open ocean for tuna is sauris......they themsleves are a pelagic species that roam the open oceans....and they do frequent the east coast of aus. I have encountered schools of them on many occasions off central and southern nsw coastline.

    Sauris are no way no how a US fish, trust me on that one, the common name for them is a "no bill garfish" though I am not too sure they are the true "no bill" but they are very common in Aus waters.

    is that what we used to call snub nose garfish ,had just a tiny point on the mouth with a redish tip on it, or is it different type

    If Sauris are garfish i'd eat them before i'd use em as bait. IMO they are much better than whiting.
