I don't think any legal red been caught at Mud yet maybe I'm wrong!

Ok so which fish is it on the list that we caught there? Was about 43cm long, rounded sort of head like a dolphin fish, electric blues and reds around the eyes and gill plates, rounded sort of tail, thick through the body with large 10cent coin size scales...

Hope it was inedible as it went back....

[webby]

Sounds like a tuskie, probably a small blackspot, did it have a dark smudge mark along its back and fangs like a jack ?????
regards

[webby]

Did it look like one of these???

[bootyinblue]

Yes.... the big bastard on the right hand side. Aint you lucky I threw it back for you to catch.

Any good on the tooth?

[Blackened]

G'day

Samson thanks for many species to add the list, but 2 of them I'm not sure because I checked on google and no luck...

Thinking Scarlet cheeked sweet lip is know as grass sweetlip right?

Gold spot blubberlip which one morwong or sweetlip?

See pictures below if it matchs?

Good on you mate what a diverse little eco system we have there maybe 60 is possible better not let those greenies know otherwise we will lose our little bit of paradise ????::) ::) ::) ::)

[marty+jojo]

Hey Silent
I caught a fish there a couple of years ago on a sp it was about 55cm long and very slender round body similar shape to a pike, but had a long beak type mouth, it was really slimy. I never identified it i was thinking maybe it was a " FLUTE" but i have no idea. Sorry i don't have the pic it was on my mates camera.
Marty.

[samson]

The one on the right is the gold spot blubber lip some people refer to as a mowong the one i refered as scarlet cheeked sweet lip fisheries calls red eared emperor i also forgot to mention red throat emperor which pop up every so often.

Cheers samson

I just recently research this specie 'Gold spot bubbler lip' through websites and Gold spot blubber lip are known as weep sweetlip, netted morwong and gold spotted sweetlip...So I will use "Gold spotted sweetlip" on the list.

I'm happy with 2 more new species 'red eared emperor and red throat emperor
