krause Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Hi all, Yesterday i went for a fish off the beach. I thought to my self, hey ill catch some salmon for good friday because every one likes that. So i had great fun catching some pelagics!? Yup. Managed to catch a rat king and the thing in the attatched photo. On a side note what is that? But yes, so i caught them of a beach, and i find it a bit weird. Is this something that happens often-ish? I also got a nice salmon Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossfire63 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Nothing unusual about catching rats off the beach. Like everything else they follow bait schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krause Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 This is my mystery fish. I have been very lazy and have done no research, so i have no ideas. Wrong shape for a mackrel i thought, then i thought a bonnie of sorts, but that yellow fin has me stumped? It has angry looking teeth... Thoughts? And i figured that these fish were following bait, but i just have never heard of this bycatch before, i was very suprised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Frigate mackeral. Great bait live for kings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossfire63 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Yep should have rigged it up as a live bait. If you got a rat king you can bet there were larger ones out there chasing these things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaClH2OK9 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I've eaten common bonito and love them! Just been advised that the watsons taste the same. I guess it's a matter of taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikei000 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 If you bleed it asap and cook when you get back home it's the best. Never had better fish than fresh bonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
