samjames95 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Went for a fish wide of long reef with dad today. Started trawling out of the heads at 6 in search of a bonnie towards bluefish point, no luck. So we headed to our desired spot, wide of long reef. Over the next few hours we pull in about 15 nannygai - all thrown back, a few big bakers - also thrownback, a undersized rat king around 62cm. We did manage 4 pan sized snapper ranging from 31-38cm amoungst many throwbacks, a 41cm flatty, 3 mowies ranging from 56cm-43cm and a 35cm silver trevally. We were hoping to hook up on some trag but no luck with that and headed back at the ramp by 12, still a good day none the less.

ebenos Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Great feed! Can I ask what rig you were using over Long Reef? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finin Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Nice samjames95, what depth you in? Has the current slowed? That flatty looks odd is it a blue spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a general patternoster rig for most of them, also had a livie out on a running sinker rig which caught the bigger reddie and bigger mowie 57 minutes ago, finin said: Nice samjames95, what depth you in? Has the current slowed? That flatty looks odd is it a blue spot? Went to a few different depths all of around, 60m and 50m. The currents still pretty strong which makes it difficult to get it down without using a huge lead which makes the bait look unnatural and ineffective, yeah that's not a bluespot or dusky! its a marbled flatty, identified by the consistent darker colouring on the tail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we normally keep a few they do taste nice, but of a reasonable size, these were smaller than each of our hands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Always good to get among the fish during a bit of bottom bouncing. Couple of nice feeds there. BN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
