Golden Spotted Sweetlip or Spangled Emporer or neither!!!!!

looks like a Netted Sweetlip. I would just call it a morwong and give it away.

Definitely not a Spangled Emperor.
Might be a Gold-Spotted Sweetlips, bit hard to make out the colouring in the photo.
Might also be a young Giant Sweetlips.

Might be a gold-lined blubberlip. where did you get it

[devocean]

Not again: This is a type of mother in law fish called a weedy bream. Taste like crap often found near common motherin laws - do not eat as they taste like utter crap. Have noticed that sometimes Jacks hang out around them.

morwong. gave it to the neighbour who eats any fish avalibale.
tastes like s$%T to me, think he gave the fillets to the inlaws that are staying with him at the moment.

but the snapper and tuscys were the best all over 2 kg and the family loved them. sorry no pics but i got a pic of a 5kg toadie if ya want to see it. caught friday.

Caught at Murphy's at Spot X S26 020.900 E152 30.330 in 25 -30m or line up the boat with the white top over Mt Coolum. the Fish did have blue lines on the cheeks and a red throat.

Must have made a mistake with the GPS mark on sopt X just checked it and it is 58k W of Noosa sorry have to get back to you on the right Lat& Long for you next time

Mal-laurie, show us the toadie! Thats a big sucker - 5kg!
I catch big ones in the NW shelf, off Dampier, but I dont think they get that big.

[westie]

Show us your toadie............. is that permitted here

Please put a double R rating in the subject line

[mal-laurie]

heres the toadie i got on friday
it was released unharmed, not like the dam grinners that were also caught that trip.
out of about 50 fish caught only ended up with 2 keepers (1 maorie cod and a tusky) the rest were all undersize snapper and red emporer and dam grinners.

Problem solved found it on Find a fish, It was a Gold spotted Sweetlip.
