Brisbane river thread fin

[jackson4300]

Hit the river up in the wee hours of this morning and managed a nice 99cm thread fin. Only once I got to the ramp I realised I had left the sounder at home, been down a few times recently so have a pretty good grasp on the areas I like to fish. Took a bit longer to get bait but paid off in the end. Was a great morning on the water, boat in the water at 2, fish at 4 and home by 6.

Common by-catch Brissie River trawlers and in my cast net in the local rivers is what's locally known as "Putty Nosed Perch" or Polydactylus multiradiatus. Same family (threadfins) but not the "King Threadfin" Polydactylus macrochir. Rarely bigger tham ~20cm and often in plague proportions.
