Caught Yesterday
Submitted by The Saint on Tue, 2015-09-29 11:54
Ok, please correct me if I'm wrong, but this looks very much like a gold band snapper.
Caught Sunday in 88 metres out from Rockingham My id book says " tropical species found as far south as Carnarvon".
Have any other members caught these around Perth ? This is the first I have seen here. The missus followed up with a smaller model half an hour later.

I would have to agree.
The yellow lines around the eyes says goldband to me and a good sized one at that!

They come a bit further south than Carnarvon.
Common nw of kalbarri outside Big bank, and west of the Abrolhos in deep water. Of Dongara as well?, Rubies are out there. But Rocko is a good stretch south of there

If you would like to pass onto me the co-ordinates I'll gladly go there to check it out for you. Just to make sure it's not a singular lost fish lol
