By the look of the pic is was a fair way up. Some of the mullet get very big (50-60cm). That would be my first call without looking to hard. |

nah not a mullet, the markings are way off. I think a dusky morwong is a pretty good guess without it being out the water to view properly. Dusky Morwong Edited by Spence, Apr 12 2013, 04:35 PM.

Theres more reports of these chiclid species getting into the rivers....... Could be one of them? Some grow to 40/50cm in the wild. Different species of course grow different sizes. Wouldnt think morwongs would be so far up river..... More of an open ocean/reef species. My opinion tho!

I think SAS was mentioning something about a few chiclid being caught in the Upper Canning during the Swanfish. Bastards throwin' out their pets in the river. |

Yeh that is true Hixy, always a problem with people releasing aquarium fish. Though they can't survive too well most of the time i would think come winter. But i'm no environmental scientist. |

Doesn't look that far up the river to me. I'm thinking Roe Pt? Seen similar fish in the shallows at Pengo a few years ago. Thought they were queen snapper? |
