Had a exceptional three hour session on the beach this morning, capturing some good video footage. The action was virtually none stop and among the catch was a fish I did not recognise.

My wife had captured the fish on video so when I returned home I stopped the movie and could compare my catch with those on the website of Primary Industries.

My wife was not happy because I returned the fish unharmed but I did my best to explain I had no idea whether if was an edible variety of not. Anyway, we had plenty of fillets in the bucket by then.

It turned out the fish was called a 'dog snapper', according to Primary Industries these should not be eaten as frequently, being primarily a reef fish, they are full of toxins that can make you violently ill.

We are so lucky to live in an area where a short three hour session can be so productive, simply brilliant.
