And spelling :laugh:

I say sweep for sure on the first one. For the second one, we used to call them Trumpeters when we caught them as kids.

It's not a Crescent Perch (they're a little different), it's a Striped Trumpeter. And I think the first is a Silver Sweep.

I can chuck up the scientific names later if needed

[crazywalrus]

are you shore cowfish - I thought the trumpeter had a breaks in the horizontal lines?

[Cowfish13]

100% sure. The Crescent Perch has a very defined pattern on its tail. Here's a good picture of one (they have labelled it a Crescent Grunter; still the same fish though)

Trumpeter And Silver Sweep for my money -si :fishing:

[Cowfish13]

Ahh wait, sorry don't know what I was thinking before. Eastern Trumpeter is the proper name, but they just seem to get called Striped Trumpeter around here. The true Striped is found around Tasmania and get far, far larger than these little guys (max out around 25cm).

Latin name is Pelates se/xlineatus (bit of an interesting one really ) - Filter won't let it through; get rid of the "/" between "se" and "x"

And the Silver Sweep is Scorpus lineolatus

Ok thanks a lot for your time
