bede Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) can someone tell me what this is called please? Some type of cod or groper? My bro caught it in the bay last week. The wind was blowing a bit to hard and it was getting rough so we headed in. Right near the foreshaw rd ramp there was heaps of tailor busting up the surface so we decided to stop and have a quick go at them. They were a bit of fun on light gear and HB's. There seems to be a few species in that area, small stuff but we caught bream, reds, sweep, tailor and the thing pictured. On and around the ramp theres heaps of blackfish and some monster mullet, shame its no fishing. Edited January 30, 2013 by bede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Yowie Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Acanthistius ocellatus. Sometimes called an 'old boot', because eating a boot would be more tender and tasty than eating the fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
bede
can someone tell me what this is called please?
Some type of cod or groper?
My bro caught it in the bay last week.
The wind was blowing a bit to hard and it was getting rough so we headed in.
Right near the foreshaw rd ramp there was heaps of tailor busting up the surface so we decided to stop and have a quick go at them.
They were a bit of fun on light gear and HB's.
There seems to be a few species in that area, small stuff but we caught bream, reds, sweep, tailor and the thing pictured.
On and around the ramp theres heaps of blackfish and some monster mullet, shame its no fishing.
