Looks like a baby snoek or baracudda like.

Nice beeeg shoal against the wall.

Are they any good as bait?

Looks like a juvenile Barracuda to me , not a Snoek , but where did you get it , must be KZN.

Thx 4 the read Jd..it does not have that lateral line of a snoek..

Definatly baraccuda family then..Same as mentioned in that posts of 2010

My guess would also be baraccuda of sorts, but out of Kalk bay seems odd.... hmmmmm

Water temp last night was 'bout 21-24degr @ the wall area

 

[RUSSELL EVERITT]

It does not look like this juvenile has got a long front dorsal fin , like a snoek , a Barracuda has a short front dorsal fin like the pictures show.

Hi Big Ben

It is a sea pike.

They are good bait. They are not related to snoek but ended up looking pretty similar.

I have got some Weird stuff in False Bay.
