Yeah either a double line or
Yeah either a double line or Banana Fusilier. Probably the best Mackerel bait around. Blue Spot Coral Trout love them too!
I got a nice trout on one in this link. Not the first time either. They are brilliant.

I think you're right. A lot
I think you're right. A lot of the pics show the three to often be similar but the pics of the Goldband/black-tipped Fusilier look to be the most accurate.

Lol, that's because it's not
Lol, that's because it's not a southern species. You need to also invest in 'Field Guide to Marine Fishes of Tropical Australia and South-East Asia'.
Half the bloody species in it are turning up in Perth atm anyway due to our ridiculously warm waters. Lionfish and rabbitfish everywhere, spotted a few tropical damselfish yesterday, golden trevally and cobia being caught in cockburn sound... what next haha.

Doubleline Fusilier
We have a consensus. This is a Doubleline Fusilier [= Black-tipped Fusilier (old name)] Pterocaesio digramma.
