saltrix Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Got an early start with my mate, being hopeful of a good catch with calm seas predicted. Trolled around Dobroyd Point and North Head with no success, although the big swell kept us out wide from North Head. Got to a bit of broken reef of Long Reef that has produced some reds for me before but a raging current meant that burley got carried miles away, floaters were swept away, and any baits sent down on a paternoster rig were cleaned up by swarms of Mados. Went out wide at Long Reef and found a few good sized flathead, then back to DY wide for few more. Finished the day with 8 flathead, a mix of Bluespot and Marbled with 5 of these over a kilo. Just finished a nice meal of flathead fillets, but I am a bit weary as there was a big swell and the boat was rolling and rocking most of the morning.

Yowie Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 A nice feed of flatties there, better eating than the duskies. Looks like a tiger flattie there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltrix Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 yes, 1 tiger amongst them, I did not think anyone would notice that and kept the report to a minimum. I would not rate the bluespot better eating than a dusky but the marbled flathead I think are the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I did notice the tiger, it sticks out to the trained eye. Duskies have slightly drier flesh than the blue spots. I like the tigers and blue spots best for eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
