ambrose607 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hey Raiders, I caught this fish around a month ago before I became a member of Fishraider. The fish was caught at Port Kembla from the rocks. I'm calling it a drummer but I thought drummers were black. Any ideas? Fish was 25 cm and was released.

0 Blackfish Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Definitely Rock Blackfish/Black Drummer Girella elevata. I've seen Juveniles with that colouring but I can't recall any adults, anything is possible though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Yowie Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 A tip for you Ambrose. A side-on photo of a fish is the easiest way to I.D. an unknown species. That way we can see the head and body shape, colour and fins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
