Fish ID
Streaker Boy
There is no need to be rude. I bet once apon a time you did not know the ID of a particular species of fish???? Perhaps you were born with this knowledge.????? This site is here to help amatures and professionals alike. There is no need to laugh and say there must be something wrong with someone just because they couldnt ID a fish.

hey guys thanks for the info.
i have the fish identification guide from the fisheries dept. but i wasnt looking at the offshore species..
Oh and fyi i have only recently got into fishing and none of my family fish so its all new to me.. so most species i catch go back in unless i know what they are..
like recently i think i threw back a garfish cause i didnt know what it was haha

thats the best way
Thats the best attitude to have, you dont wanna get a nasty fine for taking something your not spose to, sure way to ruin a good day/night fishing. there are seasoned fishermen/women on this site that still bring up the odd species they dont know, this is where you find out :)
good luck in the future and if you get that little guys 50cm dad remember they are pretty bad eating so its best to just give me a call and i'll get rid of it free of charge for you ;)

Good that you threw it back
as my moto is and my hubbie ...... if in doubt throw it back to grow and breed. Excellent thoughts SimiA, you'll make a good fisho as you learn more and more, as a few of the fellas have said, a wealth of knowledge on this site, enjoy your fishing.
