Fish ID Please?
Submitted by daemo78 on Fri, 2010-08-06 08:06
Hi, could someone please ID these two fish. Caught them coupla kays off Tims Thicket. Guessing the Red one is some kind of Wrasse but a more specifiic ID for both would be appreciated. Relatively new to offshore fishing so need help with these species. Cheers.

As Till said, those
As Till said, those Scaleyfin's definitely punch above their weight against divers, you often feel little taps on your legs as they try and bite chunks out of you.

Yeah its a laugh at the start of each cray season, they're so aggro. I can't work out if they're more relaxed at the end of the season, or I'm just used to them again.
