| Guest | July 04, 2012, 08:31:13 CET Last Friday we got a huge pot-bellied alunga, it was full of sand/mud from mouth to bum hole. Don`t ever remember having a kaplat that full. I wondered if it used to chase prawns on the seabed. |

| July 03, 2012, 17:03:26 CET Yep you're spot on Clayton, it was 7cm |
| Guest | July 03, 2012, 13:38:33 CET Its a Horse Mackerel (Trachurus spp.), but in that state is not easy to tell which of the two, especially from a photo. What size? |

| July 03, 2012, 12:41:52 CET It looks like mediterranean horse mackerel. From the picture it looks like the bait fish was about 7 cm long. |
