I thought I was catching Murray Cod, turns out they were Trout Cod.

Thanks mate. To be honest I can't tell from the photo if they are tommy's or juvenile salmon, so they might well be tommy's. It's an easy mistake to make.

Thanks for the endorsement Gra. Lando learnt a hard lesson a few weeks ago when we were in East Gippsland - stay away from ticks! Now he's bald:

easiest way to tell is the size of the eyes, tommies have almost double the eye size than salmon, black tips on the tail for tommies (dead giveaway), and ofcourse the rough scales/skin
