Tailor To The Rescue Again.

[Basil D]

went out today with my son spinner7, our target was Bream, Only caught one and two tarwine.

lots of undersized snapper went back, along with a few 20cm whiting.

I was retrieving my line and ( Don't bag me on this) a greenish looking fish was chasing it in, seriously! it looked like a mahi with all its green colours, it was small possible 45cm. anyone else see anything like it?

anyway packet up and left 1 pm and seen some Birds chasing what Else! Tailor, hooked up on four and made my day out worthwhile.

The wind was absolutely howling and water was splashing over the boat, had it been my mold boat I would have been swimming in it.

Guess who was sleeping again!!

Good haul Groper.

I'd guess that your 'green' follower fish was a frigate mackeral (if you're sure it wasn't a kingy or tailor).

Hi Basil,

With all that rough water, it may have been a tailor or king who forgot to take his kwells

Ha Ha Ha, I still reckong is was a mahi, I looked up some photos on google and its exactly what I saw, small but def a mahi. Maybe a mahi on kwells

Basil I think this time the mahi mahi may have been a shovel nose squid that might have turned green with envy and decided to match what it saw peeing at it....

Basil,

Jewgaffer is right - definately a shovel-nosed squid - or maybe it was weed standing still and it was your boat that was howling along with the wind.

Actually, often, if you get the sun on a certain angle and it hits the fish through clean water, the hue reflected from the fish can often be green. Either that or it was spinach.....

[Basil D]

now way, A squid cant move that quick, and I know what I saw, fins tail n all, at worst I may agree with Mondo
