Mick Bennett with a Blueye Trevalla. These fish inhabit deep water around 400 metres. A few of these fish have recently been captured on drop lines when the weather conditions have been favourable for this type of fishing.

A Tiger Flathead (called King Flathead locally) captured on a handline around edges close to Continental shelf. Some big specimens are taken out in these deeper waters but they generally inhabit shallower waters during Summer months.
