Deepwater Flathead
Submitted by Belly Fish on Mon, 2013-05-13 21:15Fellow in the Club I'm in caught this Flathead in around 300 metres off Ocean Reef. It was just shy of 2kg. It's not in any ID books I have, but I did see a Fisheries Research video with the underwater baited cameras and saw what they referred to as a Deepwater Flathead. I'm guessing that's what it is.
Anyone able to confirm?

Was a tad over 2kg's and 62cm long.

or something else? There are plenty of similar flathead.....

Submitted by benn-fishin on Sat, 2013-03-30 19:50I know these are common and no good eating, not really much good for bait either but does anyone know its correct name? My mates got a bet with someone and there is a carton of beer in the line so obviously stakes are high!

Fool's Barra
Submitted by Geoff78 on Wed, 2013-03-13 10:18I had never seen or heard of the fool's barra in 20-odd years of fishing perth metro. Then I read a thread on this forum identifying a picture of a fish as a "fool's barra". I kid you not, two days later, I was fishing at a location I have fished 30-40 times and the first fish I pull in a Fool's Barra. I couldn't believe it. Anyway, can someone please help me with the species proper name?

ID Please
Submitted by Browndog on Wed, 2013-01-23 12:19Any ideas?
Looks like the illegitimate love child from a threesome between a whiting, a wrasse and a pirahna?
Same body shape as whiting, colours like a wrasse and a seriously large head/teeth for it's body size.
Caught near Garden Island a while ago. Needless to say it went back.
Thanks, BD
