Fish ID
Okey dokey all you fishologists. Who can ID this little critter caught off Nungurner yesterday ? About 10cm long. Spiked my offsider which stung for a while but not a bad sting.

There's nothing . . . absolutely nothing . . . half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats.

Re: Fish ID
Caught one in warmies years ago. Weird looking fish, had no idea what it was, didn't even think about touching it. Long nose plier and off it went back. Now I know it's a cobbler.
Thanks re-tyred.

Re: Fish ID
Did you catch anything else at Nungurner? Fished there Monday arvo for a solitary KGW which was returned.

Re: Fish ID
two small whiting. Coupla toadies. Tried off our usual mark at Nyeriminalng (I will get spelling right at some stage) for donuts. Moved around to Barrier for no luck. We had been out the front Saturday for donuts too
