[Saddleback Syndrome? (Lordosis)]

Ok, Ive asked the boffins down in the lab and they say

Quote "Its called "Lordosis" and basically a forward (Downward in fish) curvature of the spine. Morwong, Drummer, bream etc have all been caught in this condition.The spline and Ptergiophores (Bones at the base of the dorsal fin) are intact and fully formed"

I had to ask as I'm not that clever but did know in most cases not a injury.

Thanks Boffins.

[Blowsy. (Yellowfin Pike)]

Long fin/Yellowfin Pike Dinolestes lewini

[Long Reef]

Not so happy for him hey Phil.

[What fish is this ?? (Banded Rockcod)]

Ok I'm calling it a Banded Rockcod. Epinephelus ergastularius. Juvenile.

Happy to be corrected but pretty sure thats the fish.

 

 

[Think its a parrotfish? (Crimson Banded Wrasse. Male)]

Parrotfish have beak type teeth  and Wrasse have canine type teeth.

Basically Parrotfish use their teeth to scrape algae off rocks and Wrasse eat crabs/prawns etc.

[Long Reef]

Nice Blackfish.

Rabbit fish have venomous spines so be careful with them, there is a few up at Long reef as well as Newport.

Entrance Bommie and around that area there's heaps.

Oh, also another common name for them is Black Trevally(no idea why) or Spinefoot and a few more.

[Pulling a Sick day :) looking for land based fishing]

36 minutes ago, ARC H said:

over the other side and up a bit "duck river" runs into paramatta river there is a park there and should be fairly peaceful you will again get flatties and bream where it runs into paramatta river

good luck in advance cheers ARC H

Could be wrong but I think Duck creek is closed to fishing.

[Outside Port Hacking - shark I.D.]

Oh,  the old Yowie Loepard Shark hey.

Latin "Yowie didis see'is swimmin"

[Port Stephens]

Nice 

[It's more fun on the fly!]

That certainly is impressive, I would guess there's never been so many Luderick caught in one session on Fly.

Great work.

[Outside Port Hacking - shark I.D.]

This is not a guess on what it was (see earlier post ) maybe a juvenile/adult of the species, hence the colour variation.

[Outside Port Hacking - shark I.D.]

Now this is my last guess

Parasccyllium ferrugineum or Asymbolis analis

So many Catsharks, so little time 

 

[Outside Port Hacking - shark I.D.]

Ok .. last guess 

Catshark and maybe Asymbolus rudiginosus

 

[Outside Port Hacking - shark I.D.]

Only other spotted shark I can think of is a Gummy shark but wrong colour.

[Outside Port Hacking - shark I.D.]

Nice work Yowie. 

Shark maybe a Wobby, that's all I got with the colour and spots

[Botany Bay - Wednesday]

Great report there KB, nice King and I recon it's a Sampson to mate. Better than work hey.

[Wollongong Crabs Now With Pictures]

[North Head Sunrise]

Your right Neil, makes you think how it should be, simple things like this makes you glad your still around to enjoy and most (like me) doesn't get the chance to enjoy it as much I should.

Not a thousand words ..... but....................................

[North Head Sunrise]

Great photos you two, a picture says a thousand words.

[Fish ID please (Cottonmouth Trevally)]

Paddy, there is another similar fish that hangs around what your describing. Its called a Pilot Fish,now I'm not saying that the fish you saw weren't Cottonmouth Trevally.
