Kingfish
Kingfish are one of hardest fighting fish in the ocean, with blistering runs and dirty tactics looking for any structure to cut the line. Although caught year round in South West Rocks the bigger models are best targeted in Winter, Spring and early summer.
Mulloway
Mullaway are also known as Jewfish, and they’re on every anglers hit list. Typically found prowling the estuaries, coastal reefs and wrecks in tight schools. Unfortunately they suffer from over fishing, which hopefully is in the process of being rectified.
Snapper
Snapper are one of Australia’s all time favourites, the pink snapper is caught here from shallow to deep water on lures and bait. They fight hard and the smaller models are
top eating.
Dolphin Fish
Dolphin Fish are one of the best! They grow super fast, jump all over the ocean, fight hard, taste great and look absolutely spectacular in iridescent gold green and blues tones. Nothing quite like them.
