I'd be interested to hear how the pike taste
You catch them one after the other off the end of Mindarie keys rocks when the sun goes down chasing tailoror. Ive heard they are crap eating and crap for bait so ive been throwing them back and theres been a few big ones amongst them

Used to think they were good
Used to think they were good for nothing as well. For the last couple of seasons we've caught most of our mulloway on them.

snook
Ive known them to be called snook, in my opinion the soft white flesh is very good eating. I just dust in flour,pepper and straight into a pan of oil. Works for me haha.
But yeah if youre not keen on eating them then use them as livies.

snook = pike, and they taste great
From what I understand, 'snook' is a term for pike that originated from South Australia - our south-western pike are very similar to their southern pike, which they call snook.
They're a very "fishy" fish, very heavy on the oils but if you get a decent fillet they're very tasty.

sea pike are totally
sea pike are totally different to Snook. snook are an inshore species, whereas sea pike tend to be found further out.
Longfin/Sea Pike are "Dinolestes Newini" as opposed to Snook which is "Sphyraena novaehollandiae"

Spew you guys
Find it disgusting. But then I wont eat mullet or any oily fish, and barely eat herring and tailor due to the "fishy" taste. Each to our own I suppose. The fillets do look good though.

Yeah theyre definitely oily as shit when trying to scale/clean. But once you fillet them theyre quite good. Like you said each to their own.

Nice, I love em, great fried
Nice, I love em (snook), great fried up the same way as whiting. The bigger ones have firmer flesh. From what I understand pike only grow to around 40cm and have yellow fins and are more chunkier whereas snook grow to over a metre and are more elongated

They do make great snapper bait too. Over east in Port Philip Bay, snapper loves snook fillets!
