Good onya for putting it out there mate. I am no expert for sure. In future try a search on the internet 1st. If you cant find it then ask. I wish you all the best and enjoy the journey of learning all about it. I know I am.

Hi Stumbles,

Honestly I'm not taking the piss but this thread put a smile on my dile, thanks mate. A good start also is the QLD tide guide booklet, it was my bible when I first started fishing. Still take it everywhere I go.

Cheers buddy

It's a mudcrab obviously.

[Muddy Toes]

Whatever the hell kind of fish this is obviously didn't want to be identified hence the reason it's trying to cover it's face with it's pectoral fins.

Why can't we just leave the fish alone?

[NoBananas]

Stumbles I see everyone has had their laugh and you're still none the wiser. Considering you chucked yourself out there and took it I'll tell ya bud. It's a barramundi, highly targeted fish and well done.
