thats redspot, pretty rife in the canning atm and slowley making its way into the swan!, best not to eat these fish, they do heel up from what i have seen, but its best to put them on ice, fisheries are always looking for fresh samples.

2 summers ago I saw a bull shark under the pipeline, always been tempted to try there.
Also a mate who's a keen kayaker along the canning river says he sees a few in summer. I'd just get a bait out there and hope for the best.

I know a bloke who saw a small bull shark near ascot last year while fishing. I guess you would catch them nearly every where.

some pics here, don't look as gnarly as the original bream but pretty similar ey.
"Previous outbreaks of EUS (red spot) have been associated with acid water run-off, particularly after heavy rain following a prolonged a dry spell as well as other factors such as prolonged cold temperatures..."
Sounds vaguely similar to conditions recently. Also says you shouldn't return fish with such sores.
Here's a pic from another forum which apparently is a healed over red spot sore

The art of fishing consists of casting, winding, trolling and jigging
while freezing, sweating, swatting and swearing.

Find it strange that all the problem happens to occur on the same place on the fish. I live around the canning river and have also caught fish with wounds that have healed over also roughly in the same area of the fish.................weird.

I used to do a lot of breamin in the canning when i lived in wilson. Seen a lot of fish with the same problem in that area. Wouldnt have thought it was a bite wound as i reckon more than half the bream i caught there had it. Bazookeds got it right i think definately some sort of disease
