Cape Nat Dhu

 Well after coming up short on the dhu's in the usual haunts off Gracetown (sizeable ones anyway), I had a crack off Cape Nat (maybe my fourth trip off nato in 2 years). I managed to find some new ground north and pulled in a big breaksea and dhu about 700mm. On the way back in from that trip I drove over some likely looking ground that I would hit up on the next trip out. 

 

With the brother down and the wind suppose to be playing ball we headed out. Rough as guts early so stopped in at eagle bay and got some squid to kill some time, waiting to see if the wind would drop. Wind dropped marginally and managed to putt our way out, hitting up a few spots on the way. A couple of small pinkies and a flatty later we arrived. One drift later and the photos really tell the rest...

 

Me and the big buck (PB). 950mm

The catch.

Bro with both.

What depth you get them in? That first pic doesn't look too far out or was that taken on the way in?

Pezdog, they were in about

Pezdog, they were in about 42m of water well north of the cape. We stopped on the way in to get a pic, as it was too rough to get some decent shots.

Took us a while to get back in, where it had glasses off in the bay.
