All F'wers,

Caught this off Burns Rock today. Pardon my ignorance but what the hell is it? And is it edible or only good to do what we did with it and throw it back. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Till,

Yes we did. We also caught about a dozen wrasse of many different colours as well as quite a few blowies. I did have quite a fight with a stingray which unfortunately is swimming around with my favourite jighead and also managed to catch my first skippy!! All of 32cms. All in all, a very interesting day.
