North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

Hi all headed out to charles point friday after work and spent the weekend camping and fishing had a few mates drive over as well. Got a heap of different species but the high light was my mate getting an 80cm cobia out of his tinnie trolling for queenies Didnt think they were possible not far out off a beach.

Nice catch!

Cheers

I,ve caught a few in that area on bait ,
pretty cool picking him up trolling

Nice work,

We have caught a couple about the same size on livebaits just above the Elizabeth river bridge (a few years ago now) so they can probably turn up just about anywhere.

Nice work. They will follow a big manta just about anywhere

You are more likely to get one on a shallow reef or beach then out wide. Nice fish.

Not a common catch, only ever caught three, one of Perons, one of Angler's Reef and one of Stokes Hill Wharf.

Got one in Meckitts once. Not me, my mate. Who ate it all. poop mate really

my mate let it go he didnt know if they were good eating or not

aaarrrggghhh!!

*tummy just face palmed in disbelief

in saying that was pretty much just catch and release i let go about 6 nice size goldies and a couple of big parrot fish

Ha ha as you do with rubbish fish like that...they take up esky room from slatey bream, toadfish and puffers

Arnt toad fish and puffers the same?

I think it's one of those messy ones where it's a bit of both. There are different species but in some parts of aus certain types of puffer are called toadfish. I always thought the little ones here were different to the puffers but maybe they aren't
