THE best tasting fish you can catch off Sydney - personal opinion - steamed with ginger and shallots to reserve its original flavor - flaky white flesh!!

Wow that looks awesome. What are the other things in the picture? Salad? 

That looks like a fantastic meal.  

Thanks, mate, sausage stir fried with celery, egg and tomato soup, lamp chop, the fish was outstanding.

Pearl Perch steamed with ginger and shallots, second to none

Nice fish mate well done. Jigging is so much fun. 

Thanks mate, for sure, also SJ has been producing a good range of fish from bottom dwellers to pelagic.

Welcome mate and yep, good bunch on here. I had to Google what ISO fishing was: ISO Fishing is a popular fishing style in Korea,Japan and China and is rapidly expanding in Australia. This fishing style incorporates very finesse tackle which seeks for exhilarating fun and techniques which are gained with experience. This finesse tackle is used since fish respond better to this gear due to the fact that fish can also get very sensitive at times and may be hard to catch with heavy, dense gear. Iso Fishing also brings forth a more enjoyable lifestyle to fishing that demands new skills and techniques. Iso fishing seeks to enjoy fishing as a lifestyle and tackle fish less forcefully. ISO Fishing provides fisherman a new meaning in terms of excitement and lifestyle. In order to start ISO fishing, understanding of the gear and how the rig works is vital.

 

 

Thanks, mate, iso fishing is fun especially when you hook up a king fish on light gear, sometimes number 1.5 flurocarbon leader, all relying on the lever hand brake to tire the fish eventually
