Silver fish ...

[Wayne]

This was caught in the lagoon in front of our staff house I used light tackel which was

a small coffee grinder with 2.00 kg line a small ball sinker,and a bass rod very thin tip,the bait I used was a worm that looks like a wonder worm and coral worm cross,it put up a good fight on that light tackel,I aslo want to see if I can freeze some of that worm and bring it back with me...flipping good bait.

God day Milt...

Here in Angola they call it SLIVER FISH.....I know we have a differnt name for it...has anyone got the right name......????

 

[milt]

They are a pretty looking fish and fight nicelly for there size don't they? I can only imagine how pristine the coastline would be around Angola?

Milt,

I'm not sure, but maybe a Soldier bream or a King Soldier bream?

 

[milt]

Yes they are a member of the bream family, over this way they are found all over the South eastern Coast and typically grow a lot larger than normal bream which predominantly are an estuary species.

The smaller model we call Pinky Snapper, anything bigger than 50odd cm is clasified as a Snapper.

Milt,

Beautiful fish. Please find out if your bosses need someone to do odd jobs on the rig. I'm only prepared to work for 30 mins a day though as it looks like there will be more pressing things to do. What strength handline are you using to control the beasts?

Hi Guys,

That fish loogs like something I have seen come of the Protea banks (deep sea) and funny enough they call them protea bream, have seen them up to 5kg

Wolly-Chop,

Hand line used is the good old 15-20 kg line,just wear gloves keep the fish head up and bob your uncle....to work here you'll have to part with that piece of fluff behind your head....( LOL LOL LOL LOL ) and will have to work at least 10-12 hrs a day,we only fish when there is nothing for us to do like when they drilling ahaed and all my equipment is good to go,then its "FISH ON "time......

 

[wollychop]

That's lighter line than I thought! I dunno if I could sacrifice my beloved mullet though.

Fully Understandble your mullet comes first... (lol)
