queensland mixed bag from the overfished river

[Joel Eadie]

just got back from the pine mixed bag, all on cooked coles prawns ($9 per kg!!!)

got about 5 legal bream, 2 undersize

2 baby threadies (or river perch?)

one massive catty

and 200 of those b@sterd striped grunter things

all went quiet untill i had a lie down with my rod sitting in a root. about two minuites later i heard zzzzzzzz. after fishing around the pine for so long my first thoughts were 'wtf is that noise' looked over at my rod and the drag was peeling off at a rapid rate, ran over and grabbed it a couple of minuites later up comes a 41cm trevally, does anyone know what type it is? it had small black spots on its back that you cant see in the photo, i should have taken a better photo but i was keen to get it back into the water

didnt get heaps of pics, you have all seen grunters, and catties

some sort of trev?

one of the bigger bream

thready or river perch?

[Joel Eadie]

might have got the river perch thing wrong

[Whiskers]

Love Love Love Hearing pine river reports

Hmm looking at those whiskers it could be a little thready???? Awesome news if they are starting to come into the pine :woohoo:

Hey mate, a good way to pass some time there. I think it is a river perch (although I could be mistaken) and the other one looks like a GT, althoug once again, I could be wrong lol!!!

Cheers,

Ryan.

thats sweet if its a GT

btw the feminine hands holding the river perch arnt mine, they are my mates :laugh:

[nadders]

those two are putty-nose perch, river perch look like small jew with some differences

baby threadies look exactly like downscaled adults and have less whiskers per side, puttynose perch have between 6 and 7 filaments on either side that are quite short, and king threadies have usually 5 either side which are much longer.

nice catch though the gt's woulda given you some sport

cheers

thanks for the id dan

the gt went so hard, it was on 4lb which was awesome

I have got a few trevally like that in the pine, i always thought they looked liked GT's, or bigeye's (but the eye just doesn't seem to be big enough).

Beaten to it, what nadders said. Great catch from the overfished river :laugh:
