HELP!!!!! WITH A FISH
Submitted by STAAL LOVER on Sat, 2008-08-16 17:04
Do believe its a John Dory!!!! Is it common in Perth waters(haven't seen one before) ?? How big do they normally grow(this fish 51cm)?? Chewability?? If it eats as well as it looks the mother-inlaw ain't getting it!!!!!!!

From my experiences over east there would have been a few more there too, and they love live yellowtail.

I've got them L/B at Busso jetty and at 5 fathom bank (boat base).....very nice flesh! The fish I caught were about 2.5-3kg.....a keeper for sure!

Nice one Rod !
Not a common catch, but a good one mate - never caught one but ate the odd one and they've been excellent.
