i havnt seen one of this size for a while, he rain must have flushed it out....its a Mulloway

[stumbles]

Mental note, don't ask any more newbie questions

[wayno60]

mate its a bream, very common all round the coast line of aust.
During the winter months is when you get the bigger ones. Get one over 40cm and you;ll be in the hall of fame..

cheers

On Topic, mate, It's a sailfish or some kind of Cat Fish.. They're very similar in looks..

[wayno60]

$hyte you barstards are cruel. A newby asks a question and all you can do is take the piss and rub him.

stumbles, don't listen to them, they are taking the piss mate. we all started out knowing nothing at one stage.

Oh, except me, I was born knowing everything about fishing and boats.

Mate i think it's a Mahi Mahi, albeit a very juvenle one. Catch them on bread/dough mix for bait.............................

na seriously, just taking the piss. Bream bro, it's a bream, but not the pink bream you get at Mud Island.

mate your lucky to be alive after tangling with that one.....emporer of china built the great wall to keep these guys out...

i thought astro66 gave it away on his reply,,,,, its a "rabbit fish"" very common in estauries,,,,

were do you guys get off saying its a bream,,,, totally different fish

[Damned67]

Guess I've still got a lot to learn, I just thought it was a packet of bacon.

(and yes, I've been there too... Really, still not that far from the newbie stage myself).

[nathank]

Its most deffo a river rat.. hungry little buggers partial to cheese and small kids toes (get into trouble using them for bait though) nice catch bud!!

[fat-buoy]

is this one of these cases where its so obvious you guys are taking the piss ? lol

the only fish i know is the one that comes battered and served with chips.

my son caught it, so he's been hounding me...help a bloke out.

Geez Stumbles... ask a question and everyone takes the piss! hahahahaa

THAT is why you should never ask a question on an internet forum... just do what I do and "pretend" to know what the hell people are talking about until you catch on..

That my friend is either a common bream that is the bread and butter of all kids learning to catch a fish and taste mighty fine on the chew.... or it is a Venus tusk fish ... you decide

[stumbles]

ah its all good, i dont mind looking a bit stupid (well alot, thanks guys. lol).

Ive never been fishing at all really in my 33yrs so im at the same level of those kids.

Cant help but picture that xxxx (i think) ad where all the blokes are standing around cooking the fish and they dont know what it is till someone suggests its a barra and they all nod agreeing (yes , i know its not a barra)

[gruntahunta]

Actually it is a Acanthopagrus australis... tell ur mates down at the rubbbidy and see if they know what that is.
