[Tuna/mackerel/trevally hybrid. "Scad"]

Scad Mackerel "Grammatorcynus bilineatus" 

Happy to be wrong though.

[WHAT IS THIS? "Large Scale Saury"]

I recon its a Large Scale Saury  "Sauria undosquamis" Also the common names have Grinner as Rick said and Lizardfish in them.

They have come up on here before. 

[Giant toadfish? "Three bar porcupine fish"]

Have a Google for a "Three  bar porcupine fish"

and see if that's similar.

[Silly fishing]

Congrats to the Photographer and the boat driver.

[Narooma Spots]

The Pie shop at Tilba is not bad either.

Bloody oath I am! I’ve never caught a koala on a $10 rod! Haha ? 

Nice work Jon. Love the challenge, the photos, the variety of fish and the big smiles! Well done  

cheers scratchie!!! 

I'm with Scratchie on the Koala. Never casted to one but have thrown plenty of lures up into trees.

Oh and great photos again.

[Big fail]

You zigged when you should have zagged, bad luck mate.

Jon, Jon, Jon. Rookie mistake forgetting the Banannas 

[The hols]

Great photos there you mob.

Though I was expecting a photo of you and the boat getting blessed at the Big  Bannana.

[Bananas!!]

Could you imagine what you would have caught without the Bananas on the boat.

Oh so it isn’t a estuary COD?

That is correct mate.

Now this is where it gets confusing. Queensland Government calls this one and the Goldspotted a "Estuary Cod"

Its a Malabar Grouper/ Blackspotted Rockcod. So is it a Grouper or a Rockcod, buggered if I know but at the end of the day its a "Epinephelus malabarricus".

Bloody common names.

[Bananas!!]

I'll get onto "Sports Betting Agency" and have my money on you guys. 

 

[Bananas!!]

That sounds like a great challenge, which I recon whats fishing is all about.

[Noosa today]

Mate I must have been drinking, the Cod is a Blackspotted / Malabar Cod. (Common names vary)

I'll go and give myself a uppercut.

And the Jack is a Jack, no denying that. 

[Noosa today]

Good work Geshy, 3 different species of fish in 3 casts.

The Cod is a Estuary/ Goldspotted Cod and the Trevally, I recon is a GT.

[Rod challenge]

Now thats a fun challenge and that goes to show you hey.

[Fishing my lucky spot]

Waza nailed it.Definite Spangled emperor, nice catch.

[Lake paddle]

Stop it Jon, you're tempting me to buy one.

[Lake paddle]

Great photos again, thanks for posting.

[Is spikey flathead actually a species]

 

The one that it could be "Longspine Flathead (Platycephalus grandispinis)" Thats where my money is going, though I don't have a lot so that must mean something.

Next time I go out and catch one or some one who does. Please get a couple of good photos, Head, Tail fanned out and a whole body shot and we can ID it.

Thanks.

[New camera]

Outstanding Jon.

[Northern Suburbs]

Maybe a Yellowfin Pike

[Windang island ID (Silver Sweep)]

Yes C.T. it's a Silver Sweep "Scorpio lineolata." Or more commonly called as you say  "Sweep."

[Some kind of eel, caught at the Entrance at dusk (Highfin Moray Eel)]

I asked the Boffins and because of the photo (Sand etc) the best they came up with was a Highfin Moray Eel, 

"Gymnothorax pseudothyrsoideus"

Seeing that they are really good at stuff like this I'm going with that.

[A couple of km's on the Nambucca]

Great report and pics, thanks for posting.

[Some more Wildlife Pics]

Cool, very nice . Keep them coming.
