[chief 1]

Went to the marina today with my younger brother(Fatboy 1),wasn't a great day but we got some bream,little cod,some moses perch,it started off quiet but as the tide was coming in we got some solid bites and managed to get some fish after all

Does anyone know the proper name of the fish on the top left corner?

Does anyone know the proper name of the fish on the top left corner?

Seems to be the same as the fish in this recent thread Chief 1;

http://www.ausfish.com.au/vforum/sho...hlight=fish+id

Seems to have a couple of common names; Banded Trumpeter or Banded Grunter;

The true Banded Grunter is actually another similar looking fish though, note the bands are down the body, not along it;

Hi Chief 1,

if you have a look at that Fishbase weblink I posted you will see they say maximum size of 36cm.
