It’s a brown sweetlip so comes under sweetlips mls 25 in possession limit 5
Here is a link to the species id page.
I would not take one to eat the flesh looks like Mac tuna. They are fun to catch cos they go like stink but they also stink like stink. I think @Kat caught a big one a couple of years back on a yabby? -

More people = more fish taken + more habitat destruction = more regulation. Pretty simple trajectory

a few experienced otolith interpreters at work came up with 19 - the attached picture shows which rings were counted (yellow dots). Brian you will need your 10x glasses for this!

Thanks for your reply Neil. Sounds like you are helping out the researchers.
There are lots of uncertainties around estimates of stock abundance but if scientists don’t know that sharks are having an impact like your experience yesterday, 3 fish would be recorded as 3 fish not the 13 that were actually removed from the stock. So more than 4 times the number of fish you landed were removed from the stock. When you start thinking about this on a larger scale, you can see how important recording/reporting/estimating the impact of negative shark interactions with fishing (known as “depredation”) is! And thinking about our impact we have as rec fishers and joint custodians of an important State resource.
I personally believe (science background; contributed to Qld stock assessments in the past but not SM) that the news on mackerel will not improve, and support the restrictions (closures, bag limit reductions) to give them a fighting chance. Population and fishing power are booming, and likely catchability of SM in SE Qld by increasing local water temps. Think of it as black Jew but with far more information (biological monitoring for 15+ years).
happy to discuss further
Andrew

Seems like you chose the day off work well. Standard is set for that combination of boat and crew now
My brother is a gun fisherman and goes often. I am merely the fortunate, occasional decky!

Took the day off to go fishing with my brother. Due to a number of reasons he is the proud new owner of a little tinny named Yewgary!
We headed off the sunny coast looking for a summer snapper. First drift I hooked what I thought was a good snapper with determined runs and a few headshakes only for a 50+ grassy to pop up! We threw plastics around a few spots but only managed a couple more small grassies and a small bonito.
With the sun blistering down we decided to go for a look for Brian and Steve’s spotties. We found some singular birds and a couple of flighty schools of bonito and Mack tuna but couldn’t get near them to get a cast in. Then the wind started to pick up from the N so we decided to run in and call it a day. On the way back to the ramp we saw a few slashes amid the whitecaps, with half a dozen birds circling in on the action. An hour of cat and mouse later and we had hookups, lost fish, bite offs and 5 nice spotties in the esky. I won’t say the fishing was as hot as the temperature but it sure was good to finally land a few speedsters in Yewgary with its new owner!

I haven’t noticed any in the tuskies I’ve filleted Benno. Seen them mainly in Jew and amberjacks. But likely an encysting trematode.

Great vid Brian it really shows that patience provides (provided there’s no sharks around!). Beautiful curve on that 6-12lb rod designed for flicking bream and flatty lures

Great fish Brian! Don’t worry about the worms - they are not harmful for humans raw or cooked, just offputting! You will be able to see them in the fish flesh mainly along the backbone bit. For want of a better description, they look like a white tadpole - white with an oval head and curly tail. You can use a skewer to dig them out of the flesh.

G’day mangajack the bloke I bought it off said he got it from the factory off Adrian when it was closing down. I’ve compared it to a stickered flame wrap and there is much more carbon in the wrap in mine than the one I saw, and the flame wrap looked more maroon than red.
mine is a stump puller I am building it to fish 80lb braid offshore. It will handle every bit of 80lb I am sure. I have glued up the handle and marked the guides so just need to wrap it. Will post pics when I’m done.- Angry51, mangajack, kmcrosby78 and 4 others

I’ve eaten a whole bunch of awful things in my time (including Mac tuna) and I wouldn’t eat one of them. You are superhuman @Kat !
