sbarnden 397 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Just wondering if anyone knows what species this is?Caught a couple of them at Rapid Bay Jetty toward the shore end of the jetty on a whiting rig with cockles. Was pretty quiet down there otherwise, except for the damn crabs stealing the bait and dragging into weeds/rocks.Brilliant day to be out for a drive and fish though.

sbarnden 397 Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Thanks for the ID,I'm more a sandy beach fisher so I'm not that familiar with the rock and reef species.Wouldn't call them a pain since there was nothing else biting for the day and at least the wife got to catch something. We were not planning on keeping anything for the day anyway so any bites were good for a bit of fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
