Colourful Break Sea

Gday All,

Just thought i would share my first pic, nothing major but just really nice colours of a Black Ass, not a bad size and never seen one quite as bright.

 

fishing about 40km of Mandurah

Deeper water?

We generally find that Breaksea caught in water deeper than 50 metres are this colour.  Those caught in 40-50 metres seem to be a combination of this colour and the darker brown, whereas anything shallower than that and they all seem to be the darker brown. A generalisation I know, but that's what we seem to see.

yeah that sounds spot on - this was caught this in about 100 metres of water.

the ones closer in around Rotto are darker.
