Fish ID's please - Hamelin Bay
Submitted by docp1980 on Tue, 2012-10-02 09:17
Caught these at Hamelin Bay on the weekend. Does anyone know of the species and whether they are good eating? I know the last one is some sort of drummer, but it took a squid bait!
Cheers!

...are good eating. Not in the same category as Dufish or Baldies mind, but not bad all the same.
Never tried eating a Blue Devil...I reckon they've always looked too pretty to eat
