ANother Dhue - Same Jig
Submitted by Stockman on Thu, 2016-05-12 13:10
Caught this little bloke on the last drop for the day, last week, South of Mindarie. Didn't put it on the lie detector, but probably went a little over double digits.
Had been a pretty quiet day allround, plenty of small stuff early, landed 6 or seven just size and under Dhues, all released in good knick.
Tried out a few different jigs during the day, sizes, brands and colours, but the old faithful, a cheap Seeker just keeps coming up trumps. To date, this same jig has nailed 20+ Dhues, Black ass, Pinkies, Sargie Bakers, Wrasse, Flathead, Skippy, Guernards and a King George. Only thing it hasn't caught is a Baldie?
Beat the bait boys again on the day.

Nice Dhu
Yeah that jig does look like it's seen a fair bit of action
Will be a sad day when it doesn't come back.

Same coloration as a western King wrasse
which probably explains why it is such a great jig
