Top 5 pest fish

Post by Kimtown » Thu Jun 07, 2018 12:42 pm

Just pinched this idea from another thread.

Post your top 5 pest fish when fishing for your target species.

1. Swell shark
2. Banjo shark
3. Parrot fish
4. Leather jacket
5. Gurnard

Almost guaranteed I'll catch the first 2 before I catch a snapper or gummy and the following 3 always seem to beat Whiting and pinkies to the hook lol
