I caught what...? "Sergeant Baker and Blue Morwong"

[Windswept]

Hi Guys, probably these are very common fish, but I haven't a clue what they are! Please help shed some light! Caught about 1km off Manly beach.

 

I thought this was a bream at first, then maybe a tarwhine, but actually I don't think it's either?! 35cm to fork.

Thanks,

Ian

Hi Ian.

First one is a Sergeant Baker "Hime perpurissatus"

Second, most would call it a  Blue Morwong "Nemadactylus douglasii".   But It also has a few other common names.

Great, thanks BF! I've never heard of either of them!
