0 Blackfish Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) I recon it would be what Slinky and NaCIH20K9 said as could only be a Branchiostegus wardi as its no Branchiostegus serratus and they recon (DPI) they're the only 2 that inhabit NSW waters. Some one caught a big one and posted it here a while ago. Gee ya goat be quick around here Edited February 13, 2015 by Blackfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 NaClH2OK9 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 "Gee ya goat be quick around here" Yea that's what I thought. Saw the pic an 10 mins later posted only to see I'd been trumped by an hour it's either a dodgy refresh on tapatalk or slinkymalinky is in a different time zone Boat101 I believe these are OK eating did you try?
