Hey Deepsea

I see you are from Perth. Did you catch it in the Swan River?

I haven't fished the Swan for many years, but used to catch Yellow tailed grunter there, often when fishing for Black Bream. From memory they aren't too bad to eat.

sure was in the swan
do u know any size limits for them

I think they were somewhere about 23 - 25cm. Don't quote me though, it was a long time ago.

Size limit in East coast = 30cm and bag limit is 30

In Gulf size limit = 40cm and bag limit's 10

(those figure cames from my memory) if i made error please correct...;)
