Are threshers common in Australian waters? Here where I'm fishing around British Isles they very very rare due to overfishing - so it's sad sight to me to see it killed.
@eltaco, is that video available somewhere - on YouTube or something like that?
Yeah its on u tube under thresher boat jump cos it storms the boat and jumps in and gets stuck on the back if you search thresher on this site i pasted the links on here a while ago it took 2hrs had 2 big shark rods out and it hit a snapper rod with 30lb and no wire trace
and there not rare at all used to see heaps in bass straight in victoria not so sure round here but we cut it properly to get rid of the merc and ammon taste absolutely spot on
Thanks. Good to see them around - in some parts of the world at least. I heard story about thresher jumping in to the boat before - so it looks like it's kind of common behavior.
