It is also possible that it's a Variable fang blenny, a more commonly documented species locally. Its colour (or the dark stripe) may vary depending on environment I guess.

I've seen one of this caught by an angler at Labrador Jetty years back. It should be a Threadless blenny but I am not entirely sure. You want to be careful when handling them as they are venomous.

These from my archive:

Who wants to know? =^.^=

Frenzy is pretty exciting, make the best of the short window. It's a good time to test out different types, I typically like using topwater lures for the cool surface hits.

The last Temensis is pretty good size!

That's a beauty, I remember someone caught this fish at BJT and posted on fishingkaki years back. Do you mind if I use your picture for HLF library?

Good catch!

Catfish can be tricky to identify, but I believe it is. This type of catfish are common in estuaries and brackish waters. They're generally small in size as well.

That's a great catch, hope that teaches you not to mess with a 'deity' fish again. :p Superstition in fishing can be hard to disprove, especially when luck can play an important part. Then there's the dilemma if you were to catch a queenie on your first catch; keeping it is bad luck, releasing your ...

Thanks for sharing the photo. It does look pretty small, much like the false scorpionfish.

Looks interesting indeed, it's probably different from the usual black damselfish we catch. I will look try to look that up.

Nah, I mean just smack the lure right infront of you. The sound and vibrations can travel quite far out in water, especially if you have calm waters. They might come in closer to investigate.

I'm not good with artificial lures but I did catch a Zebra Tilapia with one before. Cichlids can be aggressive and territorial and may attack your lure with some persistence casting close to them. I used intervals of quick successive jerks to provoke a strike.

Yeah, it does look like it. I would love to use the live photo but the angle is a little off. Nice catch on this uncommon fish!

That's still some decent catches there. Sometimes when I want excite the fish a little, I would smack the lure against the surface of the water a few times to mimic a frenzy feeding. This usually works quite well the first few times you use it and you may see the fish reciprocate with some surface a...

Welcome back Daryl, congrats on landing the fishes and the stay out unit life. Thanks for sharing your catches with us.
