Definitely not a Scalie, eye a bit big, no idea what it is but we had a huge school of them under the boat when chasing whiting behind 3 mile not too long ago. Died after about 5 mins under a balloon
To me its definitely a Scaly Mackerel. We use to catch them all the time from the Rockingham jetty years ago.
The name was very fitting as the scales would come of the fish very easy when handled.
I am sure this has been discussed previously and will endeavour to locate the thread and post the link.
Scaley Mackerel = AKA Pilchard (That's what I knew them as)
The one in the pick above which I will still claim to be a Scaley Mackerel does not seem to be documented as of yet in the link provided. It appears to be similar to a Blueback Sprat or the Maray.
Note the names listed are the common names and not the scientific names. The link to the Australian Museum website clearly illustrates this with the Sardinella lemuru (Scaley Mackerel) with the specimen only being registered in 2010.
Ain't no scaly, wrong shape, wrong colour..:wrong fish
this is funny it's just a stinky mulie (or pilly) if you from the east...if in doubt freeze it, defrost it, freeze again, stamp on it and put a a bag with a $15 price tag..... will then look exactly the same as the crap sold at a servo.
Best response so far, the one's from the shop at my holiday place look like they've been in the freezer since the dawn of time with a $10 price tag for 6

Clupeidae Family
I believe the fish is part of the clueidae family and have found the link below.
http://bie.ala.org.au/image-search/showSpecies?taxonRank=family&scientificName=CLUPEIDAE
It clearly identifies:-
Mulies = AKA Australian Sardines
Scaley Mackerel = AKA Pilchard (That's what I knew them as)
The one in the pick above which I will still claim to be a Scaley Mackerel does not seem to be documented as of yet in the link provided. It appears to be similar to a Blueback Sprat or the Maray.

Whatever, you want to call them they are good bait.
