[Fish ID please (Cottonmouth Trevally)]

I've seen a couple over the years caught by other anglers, never caught one myself.

Gives you some idea of their distribution https://australianmuseum.net.au/cottonmouth-trevally-uraspis-secunda

[What is this fish? (blue warehou)]

[Fish ID please (Cottonmouth Trevally)]

Cottonmouth Trevally. Uraspis secunda

[Fish ID please (Cottonmouth Trevally)]

Nailed it Penguin.

[Fish ID please (Cottonmouth Trevally)]

Hard to get perspective, what size roughly was it.

[Loooongtail]

Thats a great capture especially off the stones .... of days gone by and especially a rare capture down here these days.

Though I have heard of a couple taken Sydney/Pittwater.

Credible reports they "were" in Botany Bay busting up as well.

 

[ID please. (Silver Sweep)]

Silver Sweep, Scorpis lineolata and a good size one at that.

[Funny/Unfortunate Names]

Vice president of the International Committee.

[Not my catch but still a report]

There are plenty of Blue Groper swimming around so if you wanted to knock one on its head that certainly wouldn't be a problem.

But at the end of the day, the angler who caught the fish has the call on releasing or keeping it for a feed.

[Please Id. (Spotted Wobbygong)]

No problems mate, I recon they are more unusual than the Banded.

Cool catch.

[Please Id. (Spotted Wobbygong)]

Spotted Wobbygong. Orectolobus maculatus.

[Trying to ID this caught in Pittwater (Large-scale Saury)]

My guess would be a Largescale Saury Sauria undosquamis. And big one at that.

They have come up on here a few times.

[Easter in Eden]

Love the heat, hotter the better.

[Easter in Eden]

We holiday at Tathra and wonder the same, mind you we holiday in Summer and maybe Winter is a tad more chilly.

[Fish ID please (Pennant Trevally. Juvenile)]

Juvenile Pennant Trevally  Alexis ciliaris

Cool catch.

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

Yeah Swordy I was thinking along that Rankin cod line as well till I had a look to refresh the grey mater. Certainly not a Rankin.

Ok I'll have a punt,

Eight bar Groper (Juvenile) Epinephelus octofasciatus

 

More pcs would be good.

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

No idea, if you ask them what area would certainly help.

[Fish name (False Fusillier)]

I'm calling it a False/Southern Fusilier, plus its also has a few other common names.Thats why Steve and I always put up a Latin name.

[Fish name (False Fusillier)]

I'm going to call it a False Fusilier Paracaesio xanthura.

Unusual. Could be a Fishraider record.

 

[What will you miss from FR the most?]

Gee Scratchie you bloody make it hard to add without missing someone deserving.

Going to miss JonD's articles as his  daughter is about the same age as mine.

 As Jons, she loves the water and has done here fair share of fishing and diving but has a different direction in her interests these days, but thats all part of growing up to be the person they are.

On-Ya mate.

[Ice fishing arvo]

Looks cold there Janifin, but you look successful .

Great seeing your reports from a different part of the world with we don't experience.

Thanks.

[Bird id required please]

Yeah I changed my mind when I saw the yellow on top of the beak .

Good photo  John.

[Bird id required please]

Not being a being a "Twitcher" but i'd call it a Black-Shouldered Kite.

 

Or a Grey Goshawk ... told you I wasn't to good at this.

[A morning at Brighton le sandes]

Nice catch Trigunner54.

The Catfish is a Estuary Catfish/Cobbler Cnidoglanis macrocephalous.

[ID required on these two fish please.(Fan Belly Leatherjacket and Spangled Emperor,Juvenile)]

No blue dots on the flanks(sides) on a Grassy but this one you can see them faintly.
