Hi all, i caught this out at Brennan's off Cape Moreton yesterday, it looks like a cross between a moses perch a jack and a coral trout. note that white spot on its body just behind the dorsal, there was an identical one on the other side. it also had some sharp white fangs - its not on any of my id cards - what is this fish?
Hmmm, interesting.
Cheers, Doug.
Love to use Preditek or Kingfisher lures or Viva Lures when I am out fishing.
It's a red bass mate. And a no take species. I don't know about the white spot but maybe a parasite
red bass is my best guess but i am not completely sure. the white spot was no parasite, it was clearly part of the fishes skin / scale pattern. there were identical white patches on either side of him.
BTW - he measure between 35-40CM and was carefully released without harm.
Definatly a red bass, known for cigitira,thats why its on the no take list,the white spot my be because its still young,thats is a little one.
