Stipey triangular fish at Hillary's
Submitted by theperthvan on Fri, 2010-12-24 07:11
I was fishing off the limestone on the south side the other morning and caught a stipey triangular fish.
It was the first fish (non-blowie) I've caught and would like to know what it was.

I was at Hillary's today and caught 4 types of fish. I don't know what any of them were, but they were too small anyway.
One looked similar to the banded sweep, but was more yellow and not a Western Footballer.
Another was red and scaly and around 20cm long.
The other two were fairly normal looking fish, just silver and well shaped, except one had a few colours and was 'pretty'.
Now, I don't want to spam the website everytime I catch something new, so does anyone know a good picture guide I could get that is specific to WA?

Haven't fished for a while
Haven't fished for a while but I caught some things today at Mindarie.
The locals called them rock cod, but wikipedia shows rock cod as something else. The locals also said something like 'ras'.
Any idea?
