Love chasing snapper and really enjoy salmon from the surf. Never fished freshwater but wouldn't mind opening that door as well

this is a very hard question as it's a seasonal thing and some species I have chased over the last couple of years have been a lot of hard work for littler results
as most know I fish from a kayak so bread and butter species like whiting , snapper , gummies and such are all good fun but of late off shore species have been the things I'm keen on chasing

with a few trips in open water it's really a challenge when you are fishing from a human powers craft - and of cause any pelagic species fight like 10 men
