saltrix Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Did not manage to beat the sun but managed a 5.45am launch at Tunks Park. Just a light westerly wind but a decent southerly swell once around North Head, and quite a bit of jiggle until we were well away from the cliffs. We. did not bother trolling as it has been quiet for a while and there were no working birds. Took a while to sort out out the drift as there was northerly current and a westerly wind. Managed to get a few nice flathead and a couple of reef fish when we strayed onto the reef area. When the westerly came up about 11am we headed for home. Sorry I didn’t have a rule to put on but the red was 33cm and the smallest flathead 37cm. There was a mix of bluespot and marbled flathead with some of them being very solid. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickles Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Flathead my favourite eating fish - some nice ones there Alan, well done. That drift is always productive, but always lots of little ones with the keepers. I also have a “bionic hip”, took 7 months to be fully mobile, but really good now, hope your doing OK.

Luke96 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Great catch of flattys mate. I've been fishing a lot off palmy/ whale and found the bigger models have been moving around quite a lot - mainly picking up undersized fish. What depth were you in?

saltrix Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 We were fishing in 50-55m, but keeping an eye on the sounder and avoiding the reefs and going back over the area that produced fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
