saltrix Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Left Roseville about 6am with fellow fishraider Pete, tried for tailor and squid around Grotto point but no takers. Then went to North Head and around the corner for a couple of bonito on bibbed lures. Saw a big school of salmon around the corner of Dobroid Point so chased them throwing all sorts of lures and Pete got a large one on a chrome slice, which was destined for fish cakes. Then tried the flathead grounds at DY wide and Long Reef, but there wasnt much drift until the NE picked up and then there was too much, but we managed a couple of nice sized flathead, a large red rock cod and a sweep. Nice smooth seas and a bit of sun made it a pleasant day out even though the fish could have been a bit hungrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saltrix Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Nice haul. What do you do with the rock cod? I have taken a nice thick fillet off each side, while wearing my leather gloves to avoid any painful stings. It is one of the best eating fish around, once they get as big as this one. The small ones are best thrown back using a pair of pliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David That's why there is only one in the photo, the smaller of the 2 was cut up for bait, the reds are fond of them too, but cooked chinese style with ginger, garlic and shallot they are really nice.
