DY wide Sunday

[saltrix]

Went out with a mate who had a new boat and wanted to try it out at sea.

Got as far as North Head and ran into the schools of salmon, so cast into them and caught 4, released 2 and kept 1 each for fish cakes.

Tried the flathead ground at DY wide but they were a bit quite, got 3 but no size and no bluespot all marbled flathead. Got a mixture of Sargent Baker, shovelnose sharks, trevally, wrasse, nannagay, Morwong and small reds most of which went back OK.

Just as we were enjoying the calm weather and complaining there was not enough wind for a drift the westerly came up and was blowing about 20 knots within 5 minutes so we decided to call it a day.

On the way home a humpback whale surfaced about 30 metres in front of us and with a wave from the huge white tail dived. I would have had my camera out but it was a bit choppy and we were copping a few over the front.

His boat handled the chop well and the sounder/GPS worked well.
