Out from Roseville Thursday morning

[saltrix]

Headed out from Roseville with fellow fishraider Pete. It was my first trip for a while after a back op and I had been waiting for a while for the breeze to drop. We gave Grotto Point where we usually give the squid a go a miss because of the heavy swell and for the same reason kept out from North Head a bit when we tried a troll around there. No surface fish around, although a seal had found his breakfast and was tossing a large fish around just inside North Head.

Headed out to DY wide where the flathead are usually around at this time but it was a bit quite and we managed only 3 marbled flathead, 3 good mowies, a nice red rock cod, a good sized sampson fish, a sweep, a king sized jacket, and a maori wrasse before the wind came up about 11am.

Not a lot of fish but a good morning on the water. A few dolphins around and some flocks of Albetross feeding on the Cuttlefish which die off at this time of year.

Got the Sampson Fish on a bit of fresh fishbait, it is a bit different to amberjack and easier to tell the difference when just caught as the dark vertical bars fade after death.
