Mate got this ages ago in Cockburn, reckons it's a Blacktip - I'm just seeking confirmation / correction as I got no idea what it is and I was under the impression those species are more north. Cheers

Got this wrasse looking fish today. Cant find it in the ID section. What is it please?

 What type of shark please bronzy maybe

Does anyone know what fish this is?

Hi All...Saw this on the banks of the swan near the Stirling bridge on the weekend. Anyone know what this Is?

 Hello,

The answer is probably obvious but its got me stumped.  I caught this bugger today in a channel inshore in Carnarvon, i thought at the time it was a bream but when i got back home I'm starting to question what it is. I'm starting to think juvenile mulloway but i'm just not sure, any help would be appreciated

 Anyone know what this is ? Found at Woodies on daily arvo walk. Mad spikes on its underside, and strange face / mouth. No idea, any clues ? Cheers !

gday all, in light of recent news
www.news.com.au/national/breaking-news/giant-goldfish-in-wa-waterways/news-story/4e67d37a250c16075de6d0d601fddce0

im just curious as to whether these are carp/koi carp or giant goldfish?

hi all, i was walking around my 'secret' pond hunting some noxious carp. i say 'secret' because i only saw them for the first time on my 100th walk around this local pond, and i didnt want every man and their dog knocking elbows with me tryna catch a CARP of all things!. i know theyre a pest and i should probably share the location with every single fisherman in Australia, but if i did that...id have nothing to do on sundays within a month. OH! and my wife insisted we save the "pretty gold ones"...which resulted in me having to tear up part of my beloved lawn to install a freaking fibreglass puddle to fill with fish.

ANYWAY, long story short. on my night time round, i noticed some pretty little red eyes shining in my light amongst the tree roots. i managed to pluck 2 of these fellas outa the water, and to my surprise they seem to be completely different species!. Now, Im 100% positive neither of them are marron!, and they aint yabbies either. im thinking one is a gilgie and the other is a koonac? any thoughts??? i literally caught these guys within 5 feet of each other.

what i think is the gilgie (admittedly i got a bit overexcited in my effort to catch this one. she unfortunately acquired a battle scar from the stick i used to trap her with...and the she dropped a claw :(. on the + side, she took off like a rocket when she went back in the water) the flash had a bit of an impact on the colours, but as u can see it has a definate 'pinstripe' down the back and sides (sides are hard to see in pic) she also had long skinny claws, it was a combination of that and the light brown colour which pointed me to gilgie




This is what i think is the koonac. very dark in colour (almost black) and very wide claws.



i did google and check the fisheries site, but its too hard to tell! the were both roughly the same size at 120-130mm.

any input would be great.

i really didnt expect to find these guys in the same pond as carp, longneck turtles...and ibis'

 This litlle fella turned up twice when I was catching gar off the beach at Winderabandi Point recently.  They actually seem to live in the sand--when  released they just disappear into the sand at my feet. One actually had me bricked briefly--I had to pull him out of the sand. Tail cannot be seen in pic but is very similar to Black-spot tusk.

 Hi, caught this down on the canals at Halls head. Any ideas what it is?

Hi,

Was sent this photo to identify, but it has me stumped.

Apparently caught by a diver off Mindarie.

Looks like a cross between a Breaksea Cod and a Coral Trout.

Any clues out there?

 Caught in Perth (released OK). 

 My partner was out browsing thru an Op Shop today and she picked this up for a dollar... sensational value! Gotta love a woman who thinks about your fave interest.

 Can some one help me out with a id

 Deep drop Ningaloo 220 m can't get into fishwreckapedia as crap reception

what is it? 

hi need an id on this fella... Have been asking many avid fishos but no one has been able to help with it.

So hoping Glenn Moore can shed some light.

caught off the shore at port Gregory in amongst hookups of school mackies and tailor on lures a few weeks ago.

very Tuna like in appearance but has me stumped?

cheers guys

 Caught by someone else in 90 m off jurien.

Any ideas?

 Was down at South Mole this evening and I was mucking around catching rock crabs after a lack of nibbles and I caught this robust looking fellow. What type is it ? Looks mud-crab ish to me, but I am told by everyone it's not possible.

Also there were many of these pink coloured crabs on the rocks underwater. Never seen either before. Only got the photos of the one. Released him immediately. 
 

 Went out from Mindarie to the 40"s for a nice day on the water. 

First drop of the day i rigged up a nice whiting on a 1 1/2 oz jig head and sent it south. Not long and i get a good pickup with a decent fish on. Put in some effort and get him up about 10m so pretty safe from the reefs when my nice fish decides that he must be heading in the wrong direction and he just takes off. Bloody thing just smokes my stradic, i see the backing and stop thumbing it to grab the spool, just a bit too late as i went to backing and as i really apply the brakes the line breakes at the join..:( Braid gone.

Fish fought like a sambo and if it was it would have been a PB by the feel, but not seen so lesson learned. Dont wait so long to lock up the spool.

Day ended up with a little Dhu (plenty of undersize) 2 baldies and a monster blackass.

And this strange looker below that i called as a buff but was confused because of the color and markings. What do you guys recon??

Hi guys,

As a New South Welshman with not much on an idea with WA fishing, can you please help me out? This little guy was caught and released at Bicton Baths on a river prawn. Thanks very much in advance.

Is it some kind of tailor?

 hey guys n gals. Mates been cliff hopping ngetting into these up to 10kg. Just an id would be great.

Iinitially thought little YTK but not sure or amber jack.

Tks tanglesI

 Hi all

Was catching some yellowfin whiting in the mandurah estuary today and caught this fish which I haven't come across before.  Can someone please tell me it's name?? 

This was caught off Perth recently. Any idea on what it is?

 Caught this firey looking little guy today while bottom bouncing. Iv seen a few scorpion like looking fish while diving but cant seem to find a good species list to identify them. Apologies for the sideways, not sure how to fix it

Can someone confirm the fish ID

All 3 fish caught on the same spot.

1. Blue Eye

2. Snake Mackerel ??

3. Snoek/Barracouta ??

Even pulled a hapuka and bass cod from the same spot.

Thanks

Mallesh

 Any ideas ? Caught in 200m. Looks like a Gurnard of some description. Clean white flesh

A mate shot this in Carnarvon.

Any idea? we have narrowed it down to two species.
