People laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at them because they're all the same.

Finally got out in my yak, just a quick trip off Blackrock flicking lures for Flathead and well what ever else would take the bait.

After a quick tweak to a sticky rudder I had a nice morning on the Bay even managed a couple of fish,a flathead to 42 cm and squid to make a nice dinner.
I landed a few of these, look like a Mario Wrasse, but not sure.

I was just good to be back on the water.. I think I will hit Altona for some Snapper next..

Cheers

Mick

They are quite a common by catch on sps. I know them by "goat fish" or "red mullet". I believe they are from the wrasse family. Good to see you make it onto the water.
