Tell us ssome about fishing in AUS!......Thanks best regards and good fishing to you and all!
Interesting stuff Bruce, sounds like you have it pretty good over there! Jigging has taken off in the last couple of years over here and has become extremely popular weekend hobby. There are several charter boats which specifically target the species and tag them to help determine their movements and any scientific research they can assess if they are recaptured. Samsonfish have been the major targets for jigging, but bycatches of big skipjack trevally, pink snapper, Western Australian dhufish and a whole range of other species are becoming more common. In Perth we have Rottnest Island which has awesome reefy grounds which can be trolled for salmon, mackerel, tuna and even dolphinfish to name a few. You can also bottom bounce and catch some great table fish.
The best thing about Western Australia is the further north, or south that you head from the city, the better the fishing gets. We are starting to travel a bit more lately, our most recent trips have been to Denmark and Exmouth, check out some of the videos or image galleries to see some of the action.
If you've got any more photo's like that one, feel free to share! Love to see some om the action coming out of Brazil.
