Best Eating Fish ?

Now theres a very debateable point .

Is a Dhufish the best eating fish in the sea ....for that matter is it even in the top

five ?

Not in my opinion   Reds, baldies,trout ,threadfin ,pinks are a few I would prefer in front of the dhu'y

well done on your first real W A fish, personally i would rather have a feed of fresh pinkie over dhuie any day.the one advantage of a dhuie is you get more flesh off them than pinkies. hope you manage to nail one soon

Out hunting for new ground this week and caught our first Nannagia, Queen Snapper and duhie!  We switched to fresh caught herring which the duhies and whereas the queen and pinkies hit squid. 

Based on advice from fellow members, we are taking more time on rigging our bait better for presentation. Cheers, Ben
