Hey rob in answer to your question mine were venus tuskers too,but didnt know their type name just parrotts to me ??? also got a few red big headed what i would call gurnets , a mate thinks scorpion fish but very spiky and big mouthed, only their mother could love cheers ray

[mackmauler]

Ray, the spiky ones are red scorpion cod, great eating fish but quiet a severe sting...I keep them often but seperate them from other fish for safety reasons, and then cut the dorsal spikes off with scissors and use a glove to ward off the small head spikes, they are good for something at least ;D

That was a great day out Rob.
Looking forward to the next trip.
Don't know where all the wind is today,
Would have been OK for a trip, the swell looks a bit big for outside but.
Cheers Kev.
