thanks for the ID help guys. I think there might have been a few of them about as we were getting some big runs, but no hook ups.

Great to know what it is for next time !

thanks

Went out for a Saturday fish around the southern bay islands, hoping to pick up some snapper before the season close. We ended up picking up seven snapper, with five just under sized at 34cm, and two a little over 40cm (no pics sorry).

I also caught this 50cm fish. At first I thought it was a mulloway, except its tail didn't look quite right. I also thought it might be a teraglin, but then I thought its head wasn't quite right. Either way he put up a good fight, especially when he got next to the boat. I took a pic and let him go on his way.

Any ideas what this fish is? 

thanks

:woohoo: I'm not a newbie anymore!

Man, I can't wait to catch me a longy this year :woohoo:

I did the same as you dhess. I good sharp tap on the end of a pipe shunted the race straight out.

Well said. I must say, I'm of the opinion that the overall comments on this site are very positive and everyone seems very friendly.

I agree with you about the way that forums sometimes go. I was a very regular member/user of a sporting forum for a few years, but unfortunately that forum turned into a Aus/NZ/RSA bitch fest which ruined the website.

Hopefully with the great personalities that are on this site, and the fact that many of the forum users actually know each other, this site won't end up down that path.
