Last Friday we got a huge pot-bellied alunga, it was full of sand/mud from mouth to bum hole. Don`t ever remember having a kaplat that full. I wondered if it used to chase prawns on the seabed.

@Steve - Finding rock crayfish is impressive - Min jaf whether the alongi were swimming to the bottom to feed on them or whether such crayfish were drifting in the water column?

Its a Horse Mackerel (Trachurus spp.), but in that state is not easy to tell which of the two, especially from a photo. What size?

It looks like mediterranean horse mackerel. From the picture it looks like the bait fish was about 7 cm long.
