Probably a bit to do with their diet as well. I'm careful when filleting all fish. If you cut the stomach cavity sometimes the colour/smell puts you off immediately. The texture of the bigger ones can be a bit coarse which may not suit everyone. Anyway sitting down to a whiting steak has always appealed to me...

@fridgeYes Ctrl F5 does work but having to use it every time is a pain. S&H is the only site I have this problem with.

Couldn't find another place to post this...I use Google Chrome on a Win 7 PC. I continually have to log in to different threads. This makes using S&H a pain, so I give up.Any help for a frustrated user would be appreciated...

Fair bit south of metro Adelaide in 33 metres of water. Did not want to come in the boat...

I'ts been 6 months since the last quality fish so I reckon it is time for an update.This one went 559mm. Looks like this one had time to grow a bit...

Hi all,Just had some feedback from the Australian Museum. Suggestion is that it could be a juvenile Rainbow Cale (Heteroscarus acroptilus - sometimes called Odax acroptilus). One of my reference books has a picture of this - called a Rainbow Fish).Thanks to all for their input,Meggs

Here's another fish that I can't identify. 20 m of water, reefy area.Next time I'll remember to put my identification book in when I pack.

Thanks @archerfishI'll dig out my old copy of "Fishes of South Australia" when I get back from this trip and look that one up.Meggs

Not a gurnard - just had one on the BBQ. Not too bad to eat - you just have to negotiate the spines when filleting them...

Picture captured in 25 m of water in Investigator Strait. Reefy area - nearly had to donate the SARCA when it got well and truly stuck...

Hi all,You've helped me out before. Need to know what this critter is? Picture isn't great, water was a bit murky and the fish is not very big.Meggs

Hi all,I'm away in the country at the moment and my internet connection is slow (when it exists)...To the topic - can anyone name the beast I caught the other day (see picture). I tried doing a search on the Australian Museum site but it was too frustrating...TIA,Meggs

went 5mm better today...

525 mm was the length. Funny caught a few that were heavier (fatter and shorter) and had to fight the leatherjackets off with a stick.

After several frustrating months of playing "catch and release" off metro Adelaide it was good to start the new year with a reasonable sample....
-
Couldn't resist posting this. Caught on a number 4 long shank whiting hook, this catch came after lots of frustrated calls of "not being able to catch these .....". NB Managed to catch this through the mouth...

Thanks all for the feedback. I am suitably impressed by the depth of this group.@urhookedfish - If you caught that one I'm even more impressed.Meggs

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?
