saltrix Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saltrix Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Hey Saltrix, Nice catch - good feed there. Wanted to ask - whats the fish with the red stripe - never seen one before? Thanks Tan 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.
