A few Tarwhine
I got back from DI last weekend after fishing the Mitsubishi fishing comp for the week prior. I did no good but my mate Wayne (and his sister Lyndell) I was camping/fishing with got a few nice tarwhine.
The one Wayne is holding up won him a rod and reel for a daily prize and also took out the heaviest for the class for the week scoring him some cash and more nice prizes.
Lyndell's fish also won a daily prize and was runner up for the week. She also took home a few goodies for her effort.

at Jurien bay last weekend we managed a nice 15kg samsonfish, and a nice 8kilo mulloway or kingie and you call them over east!(no camera, with all fish released, you'll just have to believe me!)

Ben depends where you fish. If you are tight to cover or near bridges you will land the little ones most times but the big blokes will do you in no time.
Fishing snags (timber) you will end up in the cover a few times but you can generally break some timber away and coax them out. I have found that you don't have to fish tight to cover to get them though.
I have a spot here that I get them in open water about 8-10 feet deep. It is the opposite side of the creek/river to the deep water and snags. There is a sand bar right at the opening of a feeder creek where I get my poddy mullet for bait. Strangely enough this is right where I fish for them .
I fish an incoming tide peaking about 9 or 10 at night. One night there the bloke I was fishing with had one on and fighting it when both of my rods went off. I had a baitcaster in each hand with the fish going in opposite directions. Landed none but did get some good blisters on both my thumbs from trying to stop them.
