Meggs 2 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 This fish was in about 20 metres of water off Southern Yorke Peninsula. There were a few swimming around and at first I thought it might be a snook. However the tail looked completely wrong and it appears to have a spot near the tail. Picture quality is a bit crappy (tide flowing and only a day after a blow).Any suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gonefishing2105 0 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 it could be an oar fish these are mainly found in real deep water and can grow up to 7meters long but as the pic isnt of good quality it makes it hard to tell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
