crescent perch?
Dad reckons fishing is 10% brains and 95% muscle, the rest is just good luck.
i reckon a crescent grunter
fishing's as simple as 3 P's - patience, perserverance and PLASTIC!
yes some model of grunter... caught some good size one last time we were up there.

We call them Trumpeters. Never knew they were a type of Grunter. Interesting to know.

Used to catch heaps down the goldy. Called them happy moments.
No info other than that.
Thanks

We called them trumpeters up north. Can give a nasty sting. They were a pain when using a castnet as they would school up and fill the net.
was watching Robson Green's fishing show for a bit last night , he was in an estuary in South Africa.
He caught one of these crescent grunter, a small tarwhine and also what we would call a 'bar tailed' flathead, but they gave them all different names to us. Just thought that was a bit interesting ..

Grows to 25cm..never saw one that size. Usually around 5 to 7.5 here on Cap Coast. Given their fight, they would out perform a bream at 25 cm. Prickey little buggers.
1. Not a happy moment.
Re: fish id
Caught one that looks the same in the Mooloola River, I agree SatNav, definately not a happy moment...
