Hi
As asked by a member the types of fishing most popular in Australia.
Firstly saltwater fishing offshore for species such as yellow fin tuna, barracuda, cobia, giant trevally Snapper.
Live bait and trolling lures as Halco, Rapala are popular
Beach fishing using rods between 12 & 15 feet long with either spinning or sidecast reels with the most popular type being a Australian made reel called Alvey, We fish along the beach in channels of deep water using beachworms, pippies or pilchard bits with a paternoster rig
Species targeted are Salmon, flathead, whiting , bream , Tailor, Jewfish on full moon .
Rock Fishing off sea platforms but this type of fishing is very dangerous with many fisherman drowned when washed into the sea from huge waves, species targeted drummer, blackfish , Salmon, kingfish, bream , For bait we use Abalone gut, chicken , weed for Blackfish.
Big Game fishing is mainly at Queensland for Blue marlin and sailfish but although popular only a select number of people can participate in this type of fishing as the tackle and charter boats can be expensive unless a group charters a boat
Estuary and Freshwater fishing is very popular from shore using spinning reels and the bait is dependent on the species , most common fish being Bream, flathead, Perch ( Bass ) Barramundi , Mangrove Jack.
Kind Regards
