I caught this today at Two Rocks in the marina. Can anoyone tell me what it is? It weighed in at just under a kilo so it's a nice fish.

Thanks
OK so I guess it would be a good idea to update the Fish Identification Guide. How do we arrange that?

I gave up buying books when Google was invented LOL.... Anyway, thanks so much for the info. I was really impressed with this fish. I put up a really good fight on light line.
Keep up the good work fundraising.
