Larkin Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Gday raiders, Headed out on Thursday - just outside port hacking. It was quite still out there, very slow drift, no wind no current. All I was catching was small flathead - tried a few different depths to get something larger worth keeping picked up a nice 35cm flounder - lucky for me, one of my favourite table fish. On the way home gave it a shot over some reef, only a wirrah - which was returned. Pretty fish though. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingie chaser Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Unfortunately great weather days dont always produce the fish but it makes for a great day out. Still one great quality fish in the flounder. Shame the Wirrah wasnt double the size, I have read some people saying they are tough as an old boot while others say great to eat, would be interested in trying one myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 At least a nice flounder for the table. I've found lately that there is an abundance of small spikey flatties kicking about, even a bit further out. The blue spots have been out in some deeper water, so you will need to move out further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’d probably make a good fish soup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also pulled up 3 small occys. 2 let go when they were close to the surface and one suctioned itself to the bottom of the hull and I couldn’t get it up. drifted 30m then 40m but will try working up from those in 10m increments next time.
