These fish go by a few different names, depending where you’re fishing for them. Winter, diver, or trumpeter whiting, whatever you want to call them, are appreciated as being both great fun to catch and a great source of seafood!
Mangrove jack are seen as something of a glamour fish, living amongst gnarly man-made structures in big cities, adapting seamlessly into urban life and crippling even the most fortified tackle.Â
Trolling hardbody lures for Australian bass in freshwater impoundments is a great way to relax on the water, find fish on slow days, and put less experienced anglers onto their first bass!Â
Across the nation, bream would have to be one of if not the most available sportfish, and hardbody crankbaits would have to be the most useful tool for bringing them unstuck.Â
The Giant Trevally (GT) is the highest profile of all the trevallies found in Australian waters and attracts a dedicated cohort of anglers with a blinding passion for these thugs of the reef.
Spanish mackerel are one of Australia’s favourite saltwater sportfish. Sleek and built for speed, Spaniards use their body’s design to attack their prey at speed, slicing their way through the water before slicing their way through the baitfish they have honed in on!
Without doubt one of Australia's favourite fish to catch and eat is the good old Whiting. They are found mainly on beaches and estuary systems right along the coast of Australia. There are so many different ways to catch these hard fighting and tasty fish, from live bait through to surface lures.
Flathead would have to be one of the most popular species and one of my favourite species to catch in the estuary systems on lures, with different species of Flathead found right around Australia.
Snapper is one of the most popular fish caught by recreational anglers in Australia. They are found along the south coast of Australia and all the way up the Queensland and Western Australia coast.
