The best jetty or land -based fishing for snook i remember was at Tumby Bay on Eyre peninsula, a short drive from Port Lincoln. you could see them churning up the whitebait jumping to escape them, the schools kept moving away and then towards the jetty.. and when they were close enough you lobbed a chrome lure into the school and pulled in a snook every time. after watching me pull a few in  my dad pulled out a sinker and covered it in foil and then put two hooks close on his line cast out and proceeded to pull in fish after fish. i think he caught more than me... just to prove the lure i'd spent $6.50 on was a waste of money as he said when i bought it. :^O

Baldchin groper aka  blue bone or tusk fish are a threatened species & anyone knowing this fish knows it is not good eating & should be thrown back

Herring were on the run at the South Mole...great to be there at the right time. I used a barbless hook, a white or green plastic tube run down the hook to attract them, and a little ball stinker for casting weight. Everytime it hit the water you got a hook up, because of the barbless hook - quick release straight into your bucket..fishless free hands ready to cast for the next one lol i had filled my bucket in no time at all. {the run lasted for weeks too} then I'd go to the other side of the wall & wait for the tailor run .ah! loves me some tailor!

if you look at old fishing books from  the 40's or earlier joz you can see the scale of the taylor run along the NSW coast. it must have been massive once.. like the couta season in victoria was.

Be nice if the fish stocks were the same as in the 40s LL. I'd be right in my element. ..As late as the early eighties you could catch grand daddy mulloway under the causeway bridge in the swan river but that doesnt occur anymore. I do have various publications of aussie fishing which do cover the history..might have a squizz.

My favourite...Catfish. They don't have it where I live, but used to fish for it down south with my grandmother. She had an iron pan for frying only catfish in. Good stuff...Haven't eaten fish since.
