HEHE... weve got a small book with pics of most of the local fish but cant seem to find it....
pretty sure we can tick off marlin,white pointer,yellowfin tuna,and my 1 and only catch so far..the ever popular BLOWIE

 

[CAN'T FLY]

lol, blowies are -1! Not good on types but could be a Whiting or Tailer?

 

[Richo]

No not a Yellowfin Tuna....Yellow jacket i think I meant ?!?....Skippy I can't remember the name but I recognise it !

Are right...ta mate...your guess is as good as mine.. actually probably better.
May not be a common fish to the swan river as that ones not in the book

 

[Richo]

It is common to the Swan as I used to catch heaps of them...I think its a Skippy

It's a shitfish but good for feeding your cats

Definately a striped mullet...possibly a salmon?

 

[ace e]

are you saying its an insert :shock:
what are the odds

all jokes aside was this your maiden outing - if so did you crack a bottle on the boat for good luck?

 

[Allstar cards inc]

Nope not a salmon...just googled one...they are more spotty than stripy!!

 

[Richo]

It is common, I used to catch heaps of them and feed them to my cats....Grrr why can't I remember the name

 

[hsv006]

lolo... ye the marine and harbours guys gave me a large sticker so you can tell if your fish is legal or not..
NO BLOODY GOOD unless you know what fish youve just caught tho
