Fish ID Please (Striped Cardinalfish)

[JahmonW]

Hey Guys,

I caught this fish a while ago and just found it going through pics.

Caught it on a 3inch zman grubtail in motoil oil sort of foul hooked behind the gill rakers. Caught in Sydney Harbour.

If anyone could give me an ID that would be awesome.

Thanks,

Jahmon

My guess would be a Striped Cardinalfish (Ostorhinchus fasciatus)

Happy to be corrected though 🙂

Chowder bay rocks by any chance? I caught one there, didn't know what it was.

Sounds good. They are in Port Hacking at times.
