Thread: Red fish biting off Mission

    Re: Red fish biting off Mission

    Wasn't having a shot Scott. Someone else mentioned it so thought I would put it up as the same time. Anyway sounds like the evidence is no longer around

    Nice bag that, drool.

    Cheers

    Shame on you Scott! thought for sure you would have done the associate diploma in QLD recreational fishing, it's only $1500, 2 years with a forced refresher every 3 as the regulations and the idiology are abstract so cannot be relied on....next intake possibly?

    cheers fnq

    lol..Scott.
    Yes I think I need to sign up for the first semester immediately.
    Though I think I might sign up for the 3 year Degree program as it's said to give a fuller understanding of becoming a successful recreational angler.

    After a second look, i could go either way. Appears to be a slight concave look to the head on some of them, though its hard to tell from that photo. Either way, they are all red.

    There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot

    I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges

    Up here we Use Hussar as baits for real RED FISHS (SHSIIFDER)

    I stand corrected. Large Mouth it is.. Now all you need to sort is your bag limits eh Scott? To tell the truth, i hade been working on seven nannygai till just recently. Dont know how many fish i had not bought home because of it.

    Its terms used more so by the north qld commercial sector. But many of the names given are used and refered to by the local rec fishers.
    When filling in paper work on catches and filling in the older log books it was easier to refer to many fish by a shorter name thus instead of saying i have 50kg's of large mouth nannygai, buyers and log books refered to them as 50kg's of silvers.
    Small mouth- blacks
    Red Emperor- reds
    Spangled emperor-greys
    Red throat emperor-RTE
    Etc, etc.
    We as fishers are awful for having alot of different names for the same species, look at the Lutjanus malabaricus known as
    Silvers
    Large mouth nannygai
    Large mouth sea perch
    saddle tail sea perch
    red jew
    scarlet sea perch
    all are the same fish ...foxy
