saltrix Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 At last the wind eased and it was a pleasant day to be out fishing. The usual troll around Nth Head did not produce although some good showings on the sounder indicated there was something moving around. We headed out to DY Wide as a few weeks ago got very good catches of flathead, mowies, and a few small reds, but it was as dead as a doornail today. At the 55m mark the usual small spikeys were absent along with everything else, baits went untouched the entire drift, so we headed into deeper water and managed a few keepers. The 1metre hairtail was an unusual catch and would have been returned if he had been in good shape, as was the tailor in 70 metres. Headed home about 11am and noticed a few boats chasing salmon outside Nth Head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grug85 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Is that a Pike in the middle? Any good to eat? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaohuang Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 That's a decent mixed bag, good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltrix Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Yes, that is a pike, they are OK to eat fresh, but they area bit strong on the smell. They make good crab bait, are ok as fish bait and very good as live bait for jewfish if you can rig big enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job on the fish!! mYou're not alone they were schooling up around the rocks yesterday. Wouldn't take anything I think they were more interested in making love along with the dolphins who were clowning around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saltrix Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 I have been doing OK on the salmon although it is a bit hit and miss on the shown lures. The first lure which is 5cm long and has no weight so needs fly tecs to get out but I use a small sinker 20cm in front and a light leader. the small lure with the treble works fairly well but not as good as the unweighted lure. Forget any large lures as they are feeding on whitebait. Hope other raiders agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
