ewest and ML,
Thanks I will start slow. The fish is native in the Indian ocean and found in brackish waters and are not supposed to breed in brackish waters, also they are slow to mature yet grow rapidly? I have seen references to it being caught along the coast in Malaysia and Thailand where the water clarity in the mangroves and at the mouths of rivers is poor. I am hoping that their ability to hunt in that type of environment will help me. ML, Don mentioned something about peacocks not hitting surface lures and he and I both are looking for a largemouth bass type of fish. Or the rush you get from a powerful strike as your lure hits the water.
