We got one at Kleinmond about a month and a half ago, while fishing for hotties and silvers (carpenters). Were too were unsure about the fish, and asked some help here on Sealine. According to Miles they make excellent eating and the spearfiherman see them a lot.

may be, but they so thin dont think there's a heck of a lot of meat on. Yeah they are plankton eaters so not a commonly caught species

We normally shoot them around caves and some guys call it a milkfish, but jutjaw is the correct name.

Amazing ons het een 2 weke terug van die boot in Valsbaai gevang en het nie 'n clue gehad wat dit was nie!!!

Lelike blerrie vis daai!

Ja...,

looks like a milkfish to me - Parascorpis typus.
Used to spear a lot of them around Sunny Cove - Fish Hoek. From the top, they are pencil thin. But dive down...they provide a lekker target. They seldom take on bait. Nice eating...i can tell you.
Saw one caught on the boats at Kalk Bay, recently. Think it was foul hooked.
Spacedog.

Ja, kyk in Smith se groot boek,nr 407.  Soos Barte genoem het, het ons so maand of wat terug een by Kleinmond in 50m plus water gevang. (The Sea Fishes of Southern Africa).
