Metro Rankin Cod
Submitted by Jabba Jabba on Fri, 2012-12-14 11:23
I caught this Rankin Cod about 8 miles out off Quinns Rocks while fishing for KG's it was about 35cm. Release it with a release weight so hopefully someone will catch him when he's a bit bigger. Will be great if we start catching these guys regularly this far south.

It really is amazing what fish are comming down with the Leuwin Current in recent years.
Can only be good for us fishers.

Cockburn rankin
Wow!....I actually caught and released a little baby rankin Cod about 30cm, when snapper fishing with the misses in Cockburn sound a couple of weeks before the closure, have caught plenty of them up around Exmouth so got a pretty good idea of what they look like!...It was definitely a little Rankin.

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

not a hard choice to make
if it came down to the off chance of catching a dhuy or a rankin, coral trout, red emperor, spangle etc
the dhuy's can bugger off!
