buzzfish 0 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 HI Crew,Please help ID the fish in the pictures both were caught on the bottom end of Yorks off a beach just using cockles. The first I think is some type of Morwong the second I dont know but they have nice set of choppers on them.The Morwong if that's what it is first busted my mates line (crap knots haha) then 5 minutes later took my bait and spooled me to the limit then I slowly got him back in after a few runs (8LB line) and still had my mates rig in its mouth.After couple of photos was releasedCheers Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wishing2Bfishing 0 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 the top one is a dusky morwong i reckon and the bottom one is what i call a rock cod and is a type of wrasse. both are rubbish eating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CallopHunter 1 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Got yourself a strongie and a rockie, as W2BF said i would rather eat carp stew... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
buzzfish 0 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Thanks guys and yeah had no intention of eating any of them as I guessed they would taste like crap. :vomit: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fished out 0 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Did the strongie go hard? Not many are caught on lines and i have always wanted to get 1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jagger 24 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Last Strongie I got I swore black and blue it was a snapper by the fight in 30ft of water on a whiting rod. Disappointed when there was no pink buzzfish 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

statesquider 0 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 As others have said the first is a Dusky Morwong (Dactylophora nigricans) and the second is definitely a female blue throated wrasse (Notolabrus tetricus).
