Barramundi Cod
Submitted by scuttlebutt on Mon, 2006-10-30 18:36
Went on a charter out of Cooktown on the weekend and caught this Barramundi Cod. Pretty rare on the reef these days, and have been put on the protected list so was released. Apparently one of the best eating fish on the reef.
cheers,

Yeah, managed a few trout,
Yeah, managed a few trout, Red Emperor, Reef Jacks and Red Bass but the fishing was pretty slow by Cooktown standards. Good to be out on the water though.
