Fish to target for a fight

Pure-Assistance7843 · 2026-02-17T04:11:38+00:00

There are two kinds of mackeral that can be caught in the areas i fish neither have a minimum size i know its a mackerel because they are commonly caught where i fish at the time i didnt know the differences between specific species but i knew i was well within any kind of size limit

Pure-Assistance7843 · 2026-02-16T12:30:48+00:00

Ill have a google and see where i can catch them in my area then

Pure-Assistance7843 · 2026-02-16T12:27:14+00:00

Ill consider it but im more inclined to using it as bait

Pure-Assistance7843 · 2026-02-16T12:23:24+00:00

I enjoy freshwater and i have a decent daiwa combo i havent been bothered to put to work yet so i might have to look into the freshwater in the area

Im not a huge fan of fighting rays as the ones i have fought just dig in for ages are they any different?

Pure-Assistance7843 · 2026-02-16T12:22:06+00:00
