Fishing for Sweetlip | Spangled Emperor:

 

Hardy Heads, Poddy Mullet, Pillies, Yakka pieces, Tuna and Mullet strips, Large Prawns and small Squid are all excellent baits but a variety should always be carried incase there in a fussy mood.

Jigging soft plastics is by far the most common form of luring for Grassies. Curl tails, Paddle tails, Shads, minnows and Prawn (shrimp) patterns will all take fish at some time, finding the right one on the day is the trick as is picking the right colour, the only advise I can give is to carry a good variety in size and colour and change often.

Jig heads are also many and varied and once again a good variety is required. Weight and strength are the two most important aspects in jigging reef areas, as a general rule the shallower the water the lighter the jig and at times even unweighted is acceptable. In deeper waters it is better to go heavier and cast up current and fish the lure as close to the bottom as possible. Whatever jig you choose it needs to be strong, some brands are just not up to scratch for this style of fishing.

Little jig action is required for Grassies with gentle taps and the occasional lift and sink often all that is necessary but once again vary your action until you find the one best suited to the area.

Cooking Sweetlip | Spangled Emperor:

The eating quality of sweetlip is excellent. Sweetlip flesh is white when raw. Cooked flesh is white, fine and firm with a medium fat content. The taste ranges from sweet/mild to strong.

Emperors are superior table fishes, especially when baked whole (gilled and gutted). They are extremely popular throughout the Indo -West Pacific region. Emperor flesh is moist, firm and flavoursome and easily removed from the frame after baking.

Cooked whole by baking (try stuffing with herbs and nuts), steaming, poaching or deep frying, emperors are a stunning finfish to display. Poached emperor can be served chilled. They are also ideal in fillet form for frying, grilling, barbecuing or steaming.

Teriyaki complements these species superbly, and emperors can be mari-nated in other similar mild flavours.

If deep frying or grilling larger varieties whole, it is advisable to score them first.

The skeleton and head have substantial flavour for use in stocks and as a base for sauces, soups and bouillabaisse.
