Mutt Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Weather on Seabreeze looked spot on for a bottom bash off Ulladulla so packed the godson and mate and headed out with a promise to the family we’d get a feed. As soon as we got out of the harbour, NE wind a lot stronger than predicted so changed tact and fished in 40m off the lighthouse for some flathead. Nailed 7 blue spots pretty quickly despite the ‘washing machine’ conditions and the boat drifting quickly. Also picked up a red spot whiting - first time ever I’ve caught one of these offshore! We all started feeling a little green so came in after an hour of so but with 8 fish and 16 fillets we had more than enough. While we all have our favourite eating fish- not much better than fresh blue spot flathead fillets (although the kids said the whiting was the best), some local sashimi and oysters and a quality pale ale with the sun setting and two families fed…. Tight lines everyone! Mutt 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachwormer Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Well done on the catch. Aren't those Clyde River oysters the best! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I have fished offshore for 35 years and never caught a whiting! Always caught off the beach or river… tasted a treat though…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenno64 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Nice bag and I love the addition of oysters and sashimi and of course the pale ale:) HNY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Nice feed to finish off the year. Add some local caught prawns and that is all you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
