mado master Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Caught heaps of these today amongst the slimies and yakkas at South west rocks. Have never seen them before? Anyone know what they are? Edited February 8, 2015 by mado master
0 chickenman Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 a picture would help to make an identification
0 mado master Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 a picture would help to make an identification On my phone trying to get pic to upload. Won't happen for some reason.Ill keep trying
0 Scratchie Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 If it's an iPhone, zoom in, screen shot and then try. It reduces the meg to the photo!
0 mado master Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 Thanks for the tip scratchie. Now officially with pic! These were pests on the bait grounds although they look ok for bait? Fished up here for 20 years and have never seen them before?
0 NaClH2OK9 Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 "It looks like a Smallmouth Scad." Hmm, its a long way south ! (but that does seem to be coming up a lot) also not 100% on the bottom jaw. unfortunately off to work so out of research time.
0 Onajewagain Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I'm not 100% but I'm thinking small mouth scad too, they have been reported as far down as botany but very rare. Take it to a fisheries office to confirm, I'm sure they would appreciate the information too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
0 Blackfish Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 My guess would also be a Small Mouth Scad (Alepes apercna) because if it isn't, stuffed if I know what else it would be.
0 NaClH2OK9 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) It's like a shrimp scad but the region is right out!! Ryder must be correct. Do you have more photos Edited February 9, 2015 by NaClH2OK9
0 mado master Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 I have caught some oddballs in my time but have never seen these
0 Onajewagain Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 No doubt now, tis what it is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
