Good little morning session of HBH.
Submitted by TorquenFish on Thu, 2013-04-11 14:16
Made the most of an RDO today and went down to Hillarys Boat Harbour to wet a line. Wasn't really chasing anything in particular just felt like a fish!
After 3 hours I ended up with 25 whiting to take home for a tasty feed :) Biggest was just over 25cm with most being around 20cm so reasonable size and not too fiddly to fillet. Got over 1kg in fillets as some were real fat specimens.
Also got the usual small pinkies (returned obviously), the usual shit fish, and also caught this very odd wrass looking thing if anyone knows what it is that'd be great. Small school of tailor keapt cruising past but wouldn't take a silver slice :(
Any way nice way to spend a pleasant day!

Nice feed of whiting there , can some body with greater Knowhow than I transfer the photos of the UFO (Unidentified Fishy Object) to the the fish ID forum as I'd like to know what it is , I've been fishing for the best part of 5 decades both Rec & a bit of trawler work out off Sharks Bay , it looks like it should be part of the Ling family, never seen anything like it!

Your unknown looks like a Crested Weedfish of some sort to me, possible the Southern Crested Weedfish (Cristiceps australis). Could be wrong though!
