Lance.S Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 (edited) Hi guys Went for a quick flick out on the Lake this afternoon, & even though the weather was absolutely attrocious with the wind blowing a gale and the rain falling I still managed 5 average bream & also a handfull of undersize squire. Most of the bream were taken on Pad Tue's & 2 of them on the new 5" ShortCurl cut down approx 1". I also caught this weird looking little fish that when in the water had bright, almost luminous blue markings on its body, a forked tail & one hell of an ugly head on it. It's the first time I have caught one, just wondering has anybody else ever caught one or knows what its called ?. Anyways Cheers, Lance.

Outnumbered Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 well done on the bream that other one looks like a goby to me too, i caught one on plastic in the bay that was smaller than the lure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglejunky Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) Its a type of species of lizard fish. Possibly the painted lizardfish (Trachinocephalus myops). Loads of em up north. They are benthic (bottom dwelling) fish and behave in very much the same way as flathead. Very aggressive and an avid lure taker.... Really annoying actually. Always snap up your placcies and tear em to shreds with those teeth. Matt. Edited September 17, 2005 by junglejunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) Lance, It is a painted grinner. Have a look at the link to a previous post about this fish.

trev Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 That's a grinner alright. I'd never seen one until this year, but I've picked up about 5 of them since then.Good work on the bream Lance. 67392[/snapback] Swoffa, They are a curse!

Lightweight Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Hi Lance, What jighead weight did you use for the 5" Curls ?? LW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance.S Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 Hi Lightweight Because of the wind I started straight off using 3/32oz #2 jigheads & still found that it was a bit light then I went up to a 1/8oz #2. Normally if there is no wind I usually fish them on 1/16oz #2. But this also depends on what depth I am fishing & current flow etc Cheers,Lance.
