Hahaha I've seen a couple of them snorkelling, how small was it????
The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad
The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing

HI Kaotay,
definately a Pipefish. This is what they look like underwater. These guys are very coming in the seagrass around Blairgowrie pier. Literally 100's of them all round the area. They live in the seagrass and swim vertical and too most look just like another blade of grass. Here is a pic of what they look like underwater.
Cheers
Adrian

A pipefish it is then! Love it when a fish is ID'd within 6 minutes of posting a pic!
