Nice fish mate!

Hey mate, I am from nth Queensland recently moved to Perth, and I gotta say did not think you would catch amazing redfish like thus from WA!! Obviously didnt do my homework. I am hearing such good things about exmouth, gotta get up there at some point. What species is the giant redfish? Forgive my ignorance!! I am really looking forward to getting into fishing over here in the west and look forward to learning more about species you get over here and how to catch them!!

Cheers
Nikki

Hi Nikki

Well, The east THINK they have redfish, but here we DO have redfish, and plenty off them. The fish in question is a Ruby snapper, Etelis carbunculus , but this is a very red one. Normally a whiter bottom to the fish.

Good eating but the other red fish probably just beat it IMO.

Hope this helps a little.

Thanks For the info Neels, definitely good to know. I will have to get out and start catching some decent table fish, saw coral trout for $60kg the other day and thought 'hmm there must be an alternative' !!!

PS Bloody nice rube

Mon, 2011-02-07 10:04

Thats quality in one. Yes and I think in that depth with that double header you would probably have/had to use the electricity. Other than that I would say pulling up those without assistance 5 fish would have seen the end of me, let alone having to worry about the taxman.
