No problems Mate.
-
Girdled Scaleyfin Parma unifasciata. Very common when your diving and very aggressive little guys always chasing other fish out their territory .
-
Or a Foxfish, saw one come in on the weekend.
-
The anchor rope broke and they ended up on the rocks at Voodoo. No one was hurt but some personal things were lost. Wallets, car keys etc.
-
Could it be either a Butterfly Perch or a Yellowfin Pigfish. Or s really lost Barber Perch.
-
Top fish is a Bream and the bottom fish is a Tarwine

If I had to have a punt I'd recon it was a Lethrinus genivittatus that HTUL suggested in another post. http://www.fishraider.com.au/Invision/index.php?showtopic=63716. I've caught a few Javelin fish and they are more Silver in colour. But like Ray I'm happy to be wrong.

By the look of the photo, Longfin Pike. http://australianmuseum.net.au/Longfin-Pike-Dinolestes-lewini/ Over 47cm's are certainly good size. They are edible but I would put a few fish in front of them in eating quality stakes. Or SabreTooth Whiting.

More than happy to be wrong but I would call it a Senator Wrasse. Here's a quote from the Australian Museum. The Senator Wrasse changes colour and pattern with growth. Terminal phase males are usually green with a red to purple 'forked' stripe on the side of the body. Initial phase fish are usually reddish to brown with a row of diffuse black spots along the back and faint bars on the lower sides. Juveniles are light red-brown to greenish with pale spots.
-
I believe your fish is a Maori Wrasse Ophthalmolepis lineolatus. More elongated than a Crimson.
-
Hi Sam, I've never noticed the colour difference between Male Female. I put that down to the country they're lying in. Males have that big Dorsal Filament, on Adults anyway.
-
Also it's a Male.
-
Thats Cool. Nice work mate.
-
Try a search on the site "Painted Grinner"
-
Good fish Luderick59.
-
There's a pulse coming through tomorrow and it will be VERY dangerous. Give it a miss. I saw it today down around Bronte/Coogee,.... bad.
-
Hi Sam Bros. What i recon you have caught is a Eastern Striped Grunter Pelates sexlineatus, super common.. Pull them up and when you hold before releasing them they go grunt grunt grunt. Don't grow very big unfortunatly.
-
I'll take a guess and call it a Crescent Grunter. Terapon jarbua
-
Thanks B.B. for that. Reading up about them and they say South to Jervis Bay. Juviniles occur commonly in Sydney Harbour and Botany According to Rudie H Kuiter.
-
Well said Abecedarian. In all walks of life.
-
Here's a shot of their tails, had another shot of their heads but not sure where that went.
-
Bad luck wit the one that got away. Could your mystery fish be a Opah, just a long shot.?
-
Not bad, fillet and skin them though.
-
Goodday Ray R, Bloody common names for fish I have a mate who hates these "common names" as its still hard to ID. He likes the scientific names and this is a great example. I call them Gold Spot Surgeons, you've found, Spotted Sawtail Surgeonfish and Fish Base calls them Yellowspotted Sawtail. I'm quite certain they are Prionurus maculatus Seen them at Winney Bay to.
-
Gold Spot Surgeon. Seen them Bigger than the Black ones. Pretty fish.
