My eldest lad Kurt has been hitting the books hard for awhile so I took him fishing last Friday (took the day off work ). We left home in the pouring rain and things didn't look good, however the rain stopped closer to the coast and by lunch we had a top day. Caught a heap of fish, most under size but we did manage a feed. Tempura Flathead, bream and chilli crab for dinner, can't beat it.
Nice bream

Flathead

Trolled up a nice little cod that was 1cm under size so was released.

And one legal mud crab out of 5 caught


Then on Saturday I took my youngest to the range to sight in his late grandfathers Anschutz .222 that I had re-barrelled. Everything was looking good but I have to get the old girls new barrel floated. As it heated up groups went to pot. Still the boy and I had a great time. We are getting ready for a hunting trip after deer and pigs in July. He won't be taking the .222 just his .22 and my 6.5x55.

Looks like he put his chemistry homework on his T-shirt, just to keep studying while hooking fish! Looks like a great time.

Obviously gets his looks from his mother , too.

You got that right mate.

6.5 X 55 Hhhhmmmnn! Thought you might be into a .375 Saeed special.
BS aside, what is the zoological name for the bream.It does look similar to one of ours. Just curious.

Here you go mate.

These are found here and are known as stumpnose.
Have a look at the map given in the site below as to where they are found. Confusing?

There is also a R. tricuspidens , but due to new discovery, there is now some sort of an argument as to what is what.
Thanks anyway, still very similar in looks.

Those fish are called tarwhine here. Bream are a little different
