Nannygai

Heres a couple of unlucky Nannygai

they weren't measured but over 55 is the mark I'd reckon.

We did ok these days, but nothing special.

Enjoy your fishing!

ps The photo with the kids is the best fish I saw all day, for two reasons..

#1 Its been filleted

#2 It was the last one I had to fillet that day!

Big nannygai! A lot bigger than the ones I catch of Sydney harbour heads. Their full of bones when small(1-2kg),what are they like at that size? The loooks like she enjoyed catching her's.

Different species, Jeff. These ones are Large Mouth Nannygai... a member of the Lutjanid family and not related to the southern Nannygai. They pull hard and eat REALLY well.

Nice work Thommo

Cheers, Slinky

Cheers Mate.

Yeah they are very nice eating, not as good as Fingermark and not quite as good as Emperors, but great.

(Better than Coral Trout! - Tasteless...)

They are a bit soft on the bite, you have to ask gently sometimes, let them mouth it.

But when they hook, its a good time for a while, though fortunately they tire out about a third of the way up - not like Emperor...
