Dee Why wide again

[saltrix]

My mate and I were prepared to fish the harbour after the strong southerly on Friday but it eased earlier than predicted on Friday afternoon so we trolled around Dobroyd to see if we could get a bit of fresh bait for outside.

A couple of small tailor were lost at the boat and then a nice bonito came in.

It was a bit lumpy at North Head so we kept out probably too far for the bonito.

Anchoring at a spot off Dee Why produced only 1 flathead so it was back to the reliable drift on the gravel patch between the reefs, and 7 more flathead and a couple of mowies were keepers and many small spikey flathead and 28 cm snapper went back to swim another day. The bonito was liked by some of the flathead and the small reds.

The westerly that was blowing early eased and the sea was quite calm on the way home until the usual washing machine as we neared North Head.

Just finished a nice meal of flathead fillets.
