0 james1990 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Dom was just thinking maybe it's a baby kingfish? We caught to of them and they didnt last to long in the bait tank we were pretty sure they were yakkas, they were about 10cm long mayb a tad smaller. cheers james Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 pk-fishn Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) could be a barcheek trevally Carangoides plagiotaenia although quite unusual to find this far south.. though the fin structure and position of the lateral line is quite similar. heres a few links to compare the pic http://www.amonline.net.au/FISHES/fishfact...sh/cplagiot.htm and http://zipcodezoo.com/Animals/C/Carangoide...sp#Distribution jeez domza youve been catching some unusual species of late! cheers pk Edited January 22, 2007 by pk-fishn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 KingsRule Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) Just had a look at some fish sites i rekon it could be: http://www.fishbase.org/summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=1889 or http://www.fishbase.org/summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=1905 Looks more like the 1st one IMO..although the mouth looks a bit blunt..

0 The Iceman Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Its a Scad Used to get them schooling at the back of the trawler when we were hosing the back deck off back in Gladstone They were annoying when we were trying to catch the bream which were feeding underneath them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Blackfish Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) Maybe a Sand Trevally ? ? ?, not long like a Scad (Finney,Yellow Tail, Big Eye) Or maybe just a Silver Trevally with its colors lit up, juvenile maybe as often a juvenile has different colors than a Adult... could not gauge the size of the fish Do you still have the fish,be great to get a positive ID on it. http://www.fish.wa.gov.au/docs/macs/resear...ter_2006_04.pdf B.F.

B.F. thanks mate, i did a word search on 'scad' and it turns out they are related to the yakka i think the fish we caught was a 'bigeye scad' . it has the same body except for the head? notice the two little spikes that come behind the bottom fins, i have marked the two out below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mrmoshe Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Flattieman is back from holidays so perhaps he can weigh in and give us his assessment. Over to you Ryan. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 wettingaline Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I know this is a mega long shot, but do you ya reckon its maybe a juvenile GT?? i was looking at http://www.amonline.net.au/fishes/fishfacts/fish/cignob.htm and they appear to have yellow fins when they are younger... I know im probably way off but thought i might throw it in.. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Flattieman Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) Over to you Ryan. Thanks Pete. Guys, I think it's actually a juvenile Blue (silver!) Trevally (Pseudocaranx dentex).

0 Guest IFishSick. Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I'd call it for a Yellowtail Trevally, seen them being caught on a few fishing shows a while ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
