Bream! But mainly because I live in Vic...I'm sure if I lived up north I'd spend most of my time chasing barra, jacks, gt's etc...the grass is always greener..

Being serious, river bass are right at the top of my list with ep a very close second. Cod would be third if I manage to catch a few more. All surface feeders. Still after my first mulloway but I have a slight obsession with them now. I also love spinning the surf for salmon. Carp on fly would be in 6th equal to squidding. Then bream and trout because I don't do much of one and the other is just stupidly frustrating at times.

Love catching trevally. They are such dirty fighters and pull seriously hard.
Cast, catch and put it back

Mine is definately Macquarie perch but unfortunately they are totally protected statewide apart from Dartmouth & the Yarra. It's a pity you can't even target them for catch & release anymore they are a fantastic fish to catch in small streams.
