Yeah, I do tend to go for the fish I'd rather eat, sure. But I'm also a sucker for new experiences, and I'm yet to pull in a worthy Mack or Tuna. Once I have, no doubt most eforts will be concentrated on fish like Barra, Coral Trout, Jacks, Snapper, etc.  
 
Truth be told, I really just go wherever looks either the best to fish at the time and a multitude of factors can have an impact in certain situations. My last 2 trips being great examples.
