They have speed, power, courage and will leap repeatedly in the effort to throw the lure or bait. This thrilling sport fish falls for live baits, dead baits, fish strips and garfish on ganged hooks, as well as a variety of lures and flies.

THose look like fish we caught on and around Australia's Bathurst Island. The Aussies called them "Queenies", and "Skinnies" because of their very thin bodies...radically thin for their length. Great fighters and jumpers! Didn't eat 'em...after all, we had barrimundi for that...YUM!

Good memories of a great fish. Thanks.
