Baldchin vs Tuskfish
Submitted by 7739ian on Mon, 2008-07-28 09:10.
can you experienced fish finders point out the obvious differences between Tuskfish and juvenile Baldys. Last year at Shark Bay we threw back heaps of nice fish because a local expert told us they were juvenile Baldies. On our second last day we were told from description to a local pro that they were actually Tuskfish. I have looked at Feral's photo and the teeth look the same - but so does a Tuskfish on a web photo. Any obvious differences as i can't afford any mor fines this year - haven't been fined for fish naughties, just tree removal.

Baldies & Bluebone
Easiest way to tell the difference I find is Baldies have the white smoothe chin.

Thanks fellas
Whatever i kept on the last day was well over 400mm - we used the fish rule on the Esky and erred on the side caution. Bloody good eating whichever it was.
