Apart from remote highland lake mazes, there is nothing about Tassie fishing that you can't get as good or better elsewhere. It's good, just not as good as some would try to convince you.
Apologies to the OP for the hijack, but I'll have to respectfully disagree. I live in SA, have fished at Coffs harbour, South West Rocks, Bermagui, Eden, Darwin, worked on Brampton Island for several months, did a live aboard trip in the Coral Sea back in 1994, and did a few trips as a deckie on a boat out of Bermagui before I decided it wasn't for me. In short, i've had some awesome fishing trips in some amazing places. I still rate the salt water fishing in Tasmania pretty highly. Partly because of the spectacular scenery along the coast. To me "fishing" is not entirely about the fish, if it was it would be called "catching" .......
