Ric001 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Went for a spin off corrimal last week and picked off a number of these chasing bait balls about 1-2 k off the beach in 25-30m. Good fun and no other boats about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Blackfish Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Barracouta Thyrsites atum. Usually meaning colder water. Also poor eating quality I'm led to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Ric001 Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Thanks all. Big teeth, strong smell and oily skin. Definite throw back. Good fun catching them but not something I'd consider for eating. They were schooling around some bait fish causing them to boil the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were schooling around some bait fish causing them to boil the surface. Not sure what the bait were but I was surrounded by about 3 schools busting up the surface. Some small penguins chasing the school so the bait wasn't that big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
