sea lice

are they sea lice that they get ? I saw on I saw on Ifish with Paul Worsling where he said they were a parasite that attaches them self to a fishes tounge and eat it away until it becomes the fishes tounge sounds like a horrible way to go either way just asking as I don't know, maybe some one out there will enlighten us

Hey, carnarvonite, on the subject of crawley things, what are the small centipede looking things that crawl out of the estuary cod nose (???) when you pull them into the boat.

Sea lice

Tue, 2013-06-04 20:35

They are sea lice, have seen them up to around 30mm long.
Look like compacted a whitish cockroach that will strip a fish or shark dead on a sandy offshore bottom in a matter of hours especially over the new moon period where its super dark at night.

Know of heaps of tricks played on new deckies when they first come across them. They know them as bum bugs to give you an idea.
