[Mystery Leatherjacket]

Ummm I think you might find thats a Yellowfin Jacket.

6 Spines have the big mark on their side . Plus a couple more spines at the tail.

I'll put a photo up when I get home tonight.

[Lazy Satdee Arvo Pics Of Avoca]

They are certainly great photos there Ray, I never get tired of photos showing the enviroment we fish in.

I'm sure I can see a face in that first photo in the wave.

or have I had to many

[Back To What I Enjoy Doing Best!]

Great report there Roberta, good to see the tables turned on Blackie fishing ............. the younger teaching the older

[Hawkesbury Fog]

I remember when I was a young bloke we were over on Ocean Beach and saw this great Sea fog roll into Pittwater, blotting out Lion Island then moving up the Hawkesbury. We jumped into our cars and drove over to Patonga. What a eerie site it was.

This was a day time occurrence and the photo of the fog you took looked the same.

Great photo.

[Taking On Lake Awoonga & Cyclone Hamish]

Great read there Nexus, I felt for you dropping those 2 big fish after all the effort.

Bad luck about the weather, still there's always next time.

[Long Tail Tuna]

Make sure you bleed them. Tie a rope around their tail, give them a slit up behind their gill plate. Make sure your doing this over the side otherwise it could get a bit messy. Chill them down and as Slinky explained don't overcook.

MMMMMMMM, delicious.

[Avoca Rocks This Morning Friday 13th]

With a Sunrise like that Ray I recon a the fish would come second ........... mind you, you can't eat Sunrises

Thanks

Very nice.

[More From The Canadian Arctic]

They are Very.... Very ..... Very good

Also those photos of the sky are something else.

Thanks for sharing.

[Tuna But Which One?]

Thanks for that Cobba. Makes it very clear.

[What Is This]

Hi Brickman, try typing in "Ctenophores" to a search engine.

That might start you off on the right track.

[Big Tiger Off Sydney]

So Mitch R is still catching a few.

Did you use Mitch's magic Mako Mix

Big shark.

[Good Read...]

There is one called "Coastal Fishes of South-Eastern Australia" by Rudie H Kuiter

Excellent info in it.

Books like these make great Birthday/ Christmas(just missed that one) Fathers day presents or with the money that the Government is going to give us buy it for yourself..... or buy it for the Wife/partner/girlfriend and use it when she's not looking at it

Hope this helps.

[Magazine Stars]

Very nice Tailor from skinny water.

[Ugliest Fish Ever!]

[Who Are These People?]

Much respect goes out to you "The Sweeny" so many people do nothing and then complain when its taken away.

Education is the answer................ both in fish stocks and politics.

[Who Are These People?]

They are all Volunteers, not being paid and spending their own free time on trying to help the Rec fisherman as the Gov't will only listen to statics (when it suits them).

So be pleasant as they are on our side.

Don't think they can dob someone in if they have undersize fish ..... I'll try to find out a bit more if no one post today.

[Whithing Of Some Sort]

Certainly a odd fish. Never seen one myself.

Have to agree with Austwave, Blue Weed Whiting.

[What Is This?]

By the look of it I'd say its a Juvenile Blue Throat Wrasse.

Notolabrus tetricus

[Lake Macquarie Crabs]

Not sure about Lake Macquarie there Diver1 but I know Brisbane Waters is certainly quiet.

Got a couple at Crissy ,here's my Daughter with one of them.

[Spotted Trevally?]

Copafisher caught a Spinefoot and the colour is a bit different to the one in this post , same species different colour variation.

closer ??????????

[What's This?]

First and third I would guess a Female Crimson Banded Wrasse

http://www.amonline.net.au/fishes/fishfacts/fish/ngymnog.htm

Second a Gunthers Wrasse

http://www.amonline.net.au/fishes/fishfact.../pguentheri.htm (not a good photo of it at amoline)

Bloody Wrasse vary so much from Male/ Female/ Juveniles.

Your getting some unusual fish lately Hawksburydave, great work.

[Eggs Of Some Sort ?]

The eggy thing I think you might find thats a Swimming Sea Anemone.

Never knew they could swim fast enough for a SP though.

Not that uncommon underwater ............ very unusual on the end of a line though.

[The Bays Artificial Reefs]

Hope this helps
