Fish Id

[blue swimmer]

Caught a fish in Narrabeen Lake and don't know what it is...Have a photo but it is on film camera. It was about 80cm long, kind of cylindrical body, strong fish that circled the boat continuously as being wound in, it had a long thin snout FULL of teeth. The teeth weren't pin %%%%% sharp like needles, more like saw teeth....

not a pike or hairtail

any ideas??????? I've looked at hundreds of fish on the net and haven't seen it........

Hi

Me and domza had a nice big longtom cruising past the back of my boat a few weeks ago in the burly trail, hard fish to catch.

cheers james

[Guest dicko1]

yeah im guessing long tom 2, they are tricky to catch tho ay! What do you guys reckon is the best way?

[Lasty]

I reckon Long Tom. I just love the way they circle the boat, a bot like those old wire controlled model aeroplanes!

Long Tom.

I use the same method as cfd to catch them.

They cook up good too.

Yes Rod...Deifinitely a Long Tom...There have been quite a few caught in Narra Lake lately.

The lake sure has a diverse mix of fish in it at the moment and I can't wait to get back

down there for some "therapy" sessions.

My doctor told me yesterday that it should be OK for me to return to fishing now as long as I

take it easy...That's all I wanted to hear..Wooohooo!! The only stipulation is not to lift heavy weights.

Big flatties don't constitute heavy weights in my book.

Bring it on!!

Cheers,

Pete.
