Kyle and I did a short pre-dawn stint at our 'secret' spot at Green Island on Sunday morning, hoping for some shallow water snapper along the reef edge on hardbodies. Kyle got into them immediately and just on low tide nailed a nice 48cm beastie in less than 1.6m of water. While he was getting regular snaps and a small dusky flathead, I only managed a couple of pike, a moses perch, two trevally and a small grassy emperor.
One of the trevally was a species I hadn't seen before and couldn't find in the Grant's Guide to Fishes. We thought it might be a juvenile long-finned trevally but the fin colours are wrong and their range is from Cairns north - any ideas?
Later we tried breaming the shallows where Kyle managed a swallowtail dart and a longtom. Just a single pike to me.
We called it quits around 8.30am with Kyle outfishing me by a mile, landing around 10 snapper to my none!
Still a good morning and (suprisingly) a very quiet boatramp - both launching and retrieving...
Cheers
Pete & Kyle

Nice morning out Pete. Think it's a fringe fin trevally. Often seen up chopping early.

Pretty sure its what Chewy said, Fringefin Trevally Pantolabus radiatus because of the Black spot on the upper tip of its tail.
Also nice Snapps, especially in skinny water.
