BalmainBob Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Gday, I was fishing up in Bantry Bay a week ago and caught this. Can anyone ID it for me as I have never seen anything like this before. It is about 180mm long. It also has a lot of small razor sharp teeth. Balmain BOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 arpie Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I've caught one up here & someone called it a star gazer!? Cheers Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tony Soprano Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 (edited) I don't think that it's a stargazer Roberta... Its a grinner or painted lizard fish. Edited June 12, 2007 by Tony Soprano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 james1990 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Im pretty sure it's a scaley grinner, saw one on tv, they are pretty common up around noosa in QLD. I caught one at portstephons, but unfortunatly let it go as i was later told they make good live baits for jewies. cheers james Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
