Bass Groper

Black Cod

Also Google Epinephelus daemelii and that will give you a better idea.

Now, there is a few Black Cod down that way and are a TOTALLY protected fish.

Bass Groper are a deep water fish and Black Cod are more of a shallower water fish.

[Be careful guys]

Good on you Fab1, Kudos to you mate.

I'm no Hero mate

Doesn't matter from what back ground you come from , in my opinion you've got lots of peoples respect.

For whats it worth .......... mine as well.

[Fish ID required( Onespot Puller - Chromis hypsilepis)]

The more I look the more I recon Black Bandit is right.

I dips me lip to ya sir.

[Fish ID required( Onespot Puller - Chromis hypsilepis)]

Definitely in the damselfish family Pomacentridae.

I would guess it is an immaculate damsel, Mecaenichthys immaculatus

Certainly had me.

I looked at that and it doesn't seem to have the Blue Edging or Spot ETC on the fish. But they seem to have a major change from Juveniles to Adults so maybe its a mature adult, male or female.

But if its not that ???

[Fish ID? (Black trevally / Happy moment)]

Also part of the Rabbitfish family and another common name for it is Rabbitfish.

[ID this fish (spotted bigeye)]

Looks like Spotted Bigeye, Priacanthus macracanthus

I'm not 100% on this. I'm keen to see Gordon's opinion on this one.

I'm with you Steve . Spotted Bigeye.

[Fish ID please (eastern frog fish)]

A quick look and I recon Its a Eastern Frogfish. Batrachomoeus dubios.

Little phone makes it hard for me to see.
Try searching in Aquarium for one and that may help.

Update...

Quick look now. I recon Eastern frogfish

[Lower harbour luderick/another blue barred parrot fish.]

Nice effort there. I hope you were out of the wind as it was blowing a gale from the north by lunchtime, as I noted. Aaaiiieeeee.

Blue Bars on weed, now that's fantastic and certainly a unusual capture. Though I know of some Adults taken this year and very recently.

Times are a changing.

[Found in pack of prawns (mantis shrimp)]

Over the years I've found a couple in packets of prawns, mind you that was a while ago as I've not bought a packet of prawns recently.

[Family getaway at St Georges Basin]

Thats one impressive Flathead and the Tailors an animal as well.

Great to see it was with the family.

Golden times.

[Summer 2015-16 NSW Research Angler Program Newsletter]

That makes some great reading Julian, many thanks for the post.

[Surface Trevs]

I would also call it a Big Eye.

[Black Bridge]

Cool photo.

[Getting VERY toey...]

Na Neil, certainly no poet mate and the Southern Cross thing is by Louis McManus.

I used to go and see the Bushwackers many years ago and they would sing this song at their concerts, boy did it go off.

Nothing like a good Aussie bush ballad to get going.

[Getting VERY toey...]

Go get-em Neil, buggars of things.

Do it for the system,

do it for Australia and

do it for fun.

[Huge Sword]

Here's a bit of the story

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-16/massive-swordfish-caught-off-tasmania/7331238

Certainly a huge fish.

[The early hours]

Totally agree. When I was younger I spent a bit of time up that way and camp by the river. Often in those early morning times the fog would slowly descend through the She Oaks and envelope us.

James Lister Cuthbertsons Poem summed it up best.

The Morning Star paled slowly, the Cross hung low to the sea,

And down the shadowy reaches the tide came swirling free,

The lustrous purple blackness of the soft Australian night,

Waned in the grey awakening that heralded the light;
Still in the dying darkness, still in the forest dim
The pearly dew of the dawning clung to each giant limb,
Till the sun came up from ocean, red with the cold sea mist,
And smote on the limestone ridges, and the shining tree-tops kissed;
Then the fiery Scorpion vanished, the magpie's note was heard,
And the wind in the she-oak wavered, and the honeysuckles stirred,
The airy golden vapour rose from the river breast,
The kingfisher came darting out of his crannied nest,
And the bulrushes and reed-beds put off their sallow grey
And burnt with cloudy crimson at dawning of the day.

[Daddy Daughter Time and a few fish also]

Excellent work, every one wins with a smile.

[Birthday Charter]

Great fish, love the Red Devils.

[Sixspine and Yellowfin Leatherjacket]

The lines on the face make the first one a Six Spine for me.

[Sixspine and Yellowfin Leatherjacket]

I'm with you Steve,

First is a Juvenile Six Spine and second is a Yellowfin.

Both Sixspine and Yellowfin have spines near the tail, Sixspine are more pronounced.

[Little shark ID anyone?(Blind Shark and Whaler Shark)]

Can't possibly ID the Whaler but I wouldn't be surprised if its a small Bull Shark, (Carcharhinus leucas) with the shape of its head.

Carcharhinus leucas

[This is ridiculous, really]

Kids may not look back at it in years to come as the trip they caught all the fish, but the time that went fishing with POPPY and had an adventure fishing off the bank.

[Hawkesbury commercial fishing closure]

There's been workshops etc plus meeting with the Minister fro DPI.

The final workshop was held yesterday at Sydney Fish Markets.
