Bobj 209 Posted November 4, 2013 The bait is...er, was 10" long and Big Clarrie just wanted a taste! He is an estuary cod, locally called a goldspot. Cheers, Bobj. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bobj 209 Posted May 2, 2015 This morning I chucked in a 20 cm 'pillie', sardine...And Big Clarrie came up for brekkie. 1 Cheers, Bobj. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vagabond 979 Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Good grief ! I would guess Epinephelus tauvina. That is a good shot showing the angular operculum in post #3 I like the reflection of the Spaniard showing by the round rock. That led me to realize the mackerel is hanging in mid-air (you can see the ripples made by drops of water coming off) In fact the more I look at the pic the more I like it ! Just had another look - is that a remora beside it in post #4 ? Edited May 2, 2015 by Vagabond RNLI Governor World species 471 : UK species 105 : English species 95 .

That is a good shot showing the angular operculum in post #3 I like the reflection of the Spaniard showing by the round rock. Just had another look - is that a remora beside it in post #4 ? Correct. No, mate, it's a wave reflection. Cheers, Bobj. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
