Boarfish
You can keep the crays[even though I love them] and give me the boarfish.LOL.
They are one of the best tasting fish in the sea.They are equal top eating fish along with nannigui and baldchin groper.

Hey Carnavonite can you
Hey Carnarvonite can you catch these boarfish on bait/jigs or are they normally only taken by spear/crayloop :)

Boarfish
They are usually caught by spear or in shark nets.Its rare for someone to catch them on a line and then its by accident when they were targetting other species.
They feed on small crabs and worms living in crevices in the reef.

Buz my understanding is that they are not captured "regularly" on baits or jigs hence the comment about spearos.

Sh*t Yeah
Not a bad effort at all mate! From what I hear you rarely get them on lines - spearo's only. (Oh and the talented cray looper!!)

was diving in about 6m but had a 50m swim back to the boat with two hands on the snare and fingers crossed all the way . I was using a snare with no spring so could not let the pressure off to get him in the bag.
