gold spotted blubber lip? Generally found off the cape. Caught some there a few weeks ago. Smith rock I think.

yeah mate, caught a few of them off the rocks down around tweed & cabarita years ago and cooked up some chunky white fillets ................................................

that was the only time i have taken a mouthfull of fish that i have caught and thrown it straight in the bin!!!!

Absolutely horrible. Caught a 3 kilo one last year and tossed him straight back in, in the moonlight I thought it was a world record bream until i put the torch on it DOH!!!!!

There's a good reason they're also known as mother-in-law fish.......

They taste so bad that you give them to the mother in law

[pelican]

Have caught them before.Always called them spotted morwong and taste terrible compared to other reef fish
