Out From Roseville Thurs 6th

[saltrix]

Launched at Roseville about 5.30am, it was already light.

Tried trolling and squidding Dobryd, and trolling Nth head but the swell was a bit big so went out to the gravel off DY. Could have done with a few live yellowtail or a bit of squid or fish bait as the pickers were a bit active but caught a few before coming in at 10.30am.

The biggest flathead went 54cm and the smallest 37cm.

Nice mixed bag there. Great scenery photo.

Can't complain about that feed, well done.

Cheers

Yes Nanook is correct, it is a Maori wrasse, they are good eating bit need to be pretty big to be worth keeping. They have nice firm white flesh but throw them back under about 30cm.

Nice feed there. It's always nice to head out on a week day not having to battle the crowds.

Wrasse good eating........I always threw them back!

Cheers,

Cam
