Inshore fish Turbot firstplace JohnDory second (never caught either of them myself on a rod) Blue cod third and snapper/gurnard/yellowbelly and greenback flounders 4th equal ..

Near total agreement on that, though I don't think I've ever had white warehou.

Gemfish is bloody nice and 'puka a bit over-rated. It certainly keeps poorly even using the top techniques. I prefer to immed bleed fish on landing then straight on ice, vac-pakd soon as I get home. 'Puka need all that red stuff trimmed off, else it taints the white stuff quickly. We recently ate some vac-pakd blue cod that was over eight months old and it was mint.
