red fish in west lakes??

[stuy4121 0]

Hi I'm fishing at west lakes right now and just saw a bird catch a bright red fish.didn't get a great look at it just saw the bright red body.does anyone know what kind of fish this could be?

[Fishie 98]

Maybe a red mullet or a bullseye

Has to be a snapper....

Maybe a stray tomato cod

Knowing west lakes I was most likely a red tin, disposed of by a pissed fisho!

Much happening at west lakes a.t.m bro? Few whiting?

my brother caught a nice size skate and a 60cm+ yellow fin bream in the last couple months.couple blokes were catching whiteing and mullet the other week down dottorel.havnt seem salmon trout in a while though.turmpeters are plentiful so there's gotta be mullys still in there you would assume.anyone actually caught any bronzes out of west lakes read a few rumours someone releases them into the lake.but surely they would eat up a lot of the decent size fish in there.so I'm hopeing there's not too many in there l

plenty of red mullet/goatfish where inlet pipes are ocean side so thats my guess on the redfish. As for a yellowfin bream in Westlakes thats a first, and a 60cm black in metro Adelaide WOW!

[stuy4121 0]

Yes barbs there is skate in the lake my bro has pics on his phone to prove it I can get them from him and upload to u if u like for some piece of mind.and yes a 60cm bream was a monster he caught it on a king green prawn head thing ate it in one hit.was unreal I couldn't believe my eyes.I didn't think there would be a bream that size in there either.there's things in the lake u wouldn't expect mate we have fished there a lot gotta not many ppl go where we fish at west lakes.everyone goes to trimmer I've had little success there everyone thinks it the place to fish out the lakes for some reason?.

Y is it when u tell ppl wat u catch they are like I don't think so look ppl my bro caught a bream and yes it was over 60cm I'm sorry u guys havnt had that kind of luck down there andiif u don't believe me well maybe u should get ur ass down there and throw in a line unreal bunch of knobs on here that's for sure.and no I'm not Asian pauly s .caught about 20 bream that were all about 5-20cm then bam my bro got a 60cm PLUS bream.neck up dude. got no idea.

[stuy4121 0]

And like I said b4 my bro caught it not me so I'm not on here bragging about it shit ppl asked wat I caught out of west lakes my biggest fish has been a 30cm bream.but my bros caught much bigger fish out of there.don't hate the player hate the game.

[pauly s 426]

theres no yellowfin in westlakes knob... if you took a pic of a pissweak skate y didnt you get a pic of the SA record bream ??

[Like a Sturgeon 1]

If someone caught a 60cm bream they'd get on the cover of Blue water or something! Probably turn westlakes into the lizard island of Bream locations! The biggest yellowfin bream I've ever caught was around 40cms on the nambucca river as a kid growing up, skull dragged in on 20lb mono thankyou very much....As for the "unreal bunch of knobs" on here, thats a bit harsh- don't send in reports of mythical beasts being caught without a pic! Maybe we can catch up and I'll tell you about the 85cm YFW I caught above the torrens weir

The pic of the Skate is actually a shovel nosed ray. Caught em a heap of times off the beach.http://australianmuseum.net.au/Eastern-Shovelnose-Ray-Aptychotrema-rostrata Where people are coming from regarding the Yellow-Finned Bream, is that Yellow-Finned Bream are an Eastern State species. We only get Black Bream here.Distribution Yellow-Finned Breamhttp://www.fishnet.com.au/default.aspx?id=225&fishid=164Black Bream Distributionhttp://www.fishnet.com.au/default.aspx?id=225&fishid=32

http://australianmuseum.net.au/Yellowfin-Bream-Acanthopagrus-australis-Owen-1853yellow fin bream do grow to 65cm, and they are found in SA, i think i'll keep my skeptical mind out, could be legit. If so, well done!!!!!!!!!!

Epic thread! I'm telling yous, we need an epic thread sub forum. This could go classic.Your mother

[pauly s 426]

if you guys are such good fisherman you would know that a 60cm bream is a once in a lifetime fish and would have got a photo..ill come fishing with the both of you down westlakes.. they are black bream in the lake, if your sure they are yf bream catch one and post a picture so every1 can laugh..

[noob fisher 0]

Like i said pauly mr fish whisperer isnt it a yellow finned bream when its has yellow fins. Next time im down there ill take a photo of one of the many little ones i have caught.

In before the lock

[Lord Fisher 3]

Where's the pic of this bream then? Surely if you know your fishing you would know this is a rare, rare capture!! And there for the first thing u would do is take a picture............... Especially if you took a picture of a shovel nose shark the same night! Assuming they were caught the same night ? People just want proof! And are you sure it was a yellowfin and not a black bream? Just confirming !!!!

Well if black bream get yellow fins then it could have been one but i thought one with yellow fins would have been a yellow finned bream??????
