Hi all
Just got third wheel on boat for beach launching so starting to trust tides
Went up Dampier creek and caught some trevally but no Barra to speak of
Headed outside as tide and weather was good
Got some hits and finally hooked this nice cod
Not sure if estuary or not so let im go anyway.
Check out the eye colour
Anyway what is he?
More reports to follow
Cheers
Sy
Looks like a flowery cod to me real good eating. I'm no expert but an eastury cod is a bit darker?
I reckon estuary cod, looks like the ones we pull out of the passage.
Judgeing by that hat Sy, Im guessing is fairly warm up your way at the moment??
cheers
Brian

Estuary Cod
gold spot estuary cod

Definetly a esturay cod
It is a gold spot estuary cod. Same as down here in SEQ. I am not sure why some people insist on claiming it is something else when they are obviously only guessing.Originally Posted by robdiep

Sy , there a very commonly found cod, caught anywhere from creeks to the shelf.
Gold spots (estuary cod) arent bad eating while there small , but they do grow huge, personally ive caught them well over 100lb but i wouldnt bother keeping one over 15kg for the table. Heres another pic of one ...foxy
estury cod....yep, definantly
