A mate said that too. Thought I should get some confirmation. Caught 2 around 40cm. Thanks Panther. 

40cm!? I thought it looked 15cm. It's very stocky.

Must be FULL of prawns and/or mullet.

That is a Putty nose perch - Polydactylus multiradiatus http://fishesofaustralia.net.au/home/species/635 . Commonly mistaken as juvenile king threadfin but they are definitely a different species. Commonly caught in estuaries around Moreton Bay. There is no size or bag limit for Putty nose perch in Qld.

The regulated threadfins in Qld (east coast) are:

  • king threadfin (Polydactylus machrochir) mls 60cm bag limit 5, and
  • blue threadfin (Eleutheronema tetradactylum) mls 40cm bag limit 10

Ok great - thanks for the information. 

Are they good eating?
