0 Hodgey Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I think you'll find it's a school of juvenile striped catfish Cheers Hodgey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 cut_loose Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Suprised you don't catch the bigger ones in the Hacking, never seen or heard of one getting caught Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jordan.widz Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 looks more like a bait 'square' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Yowie Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Suprised you don't catch the bigger ones in the Hacking, never seen or heard of one getting caught Have caught the odd one over the years, up to about 60 cm long. Only at night time and in the shallow water of the deeper bays such as Yowie Bay. Yowie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Noodles Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Do not try to pick them up with your hand. They pack a big hurt for little fish. I can tell you that from first hand experience (no pun intended)after I tried it at Jimmy's Beach. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
