Gribble Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Caught this on a recent Houseboat Trip in the hawkesbury while targeting Yellowtail for liveys in Little Jerusalem Bay, Cowan. He is about the 20cm mark, didnt put up much of a fight and due do not knowing wtf he was didnt find out if he was tasty or not. So all you hobby marine biologists, wtf? Cheers.
0 Black Bandit Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 A red bigeye. Quite common in the deeper parts of estuaries and in coastal waters. Aust Museum will probably have a piccy and the associated species name. Cheers
