Awesome Tuna session - Monday 18th Oct

Just thought I repeat Sundays fishing session with another FW member here, SAS and his newly acquired Boston Whaler Conquest 255. Even better weather than Sundays to start with as we hammered it out at 37knots!! Awesome riding boat but soon wont be very new looking....lol

Needless to say Im keen to show SAS the art of jigging and those Ambos but they're a no show today with only one hooked and landed. At the same time, the sounder didnt work so we went blind fishing at other wrecks and barges on the plotter. Lucky we bumped into Rob and Jarrod Colvin out there. Drifted with them for a while and little to show. They left and we went driving around a bit and at the same time enjoying the ride.

Soon we ended up at the Derwent. Of all things we jigged up SBTs from 200m down, we were sitting estimated 220m of water (according to the plotter). Later we saw birds working in the distance, wound up the jigs. Trolled over to the birds.....instant 2 way hookup..... The video will tell the rest of the story.

Thanks heaps to SAS and his mate Tom for the great day out despite the lack of ambos or sambos around. Next time we'll have to ink on the boat instead of blood. lol

Being a long term follower

Being a long term follower and first time poster of this forum it's about time to stop in and said hi (:

 

I must first thank Honsu and the boys at Oceanside as well as all of the informative posters of fishwrecked, to think 6 months ago I had never heard of popping, jigging, plastics etc and thought bait was the only way to catch fish!!

 After a handful of dismal trips I scanned fishwrecked for some advice and come across soft plastics, with some help from the boys at Oceanside I found myself heading out without bait for the first time thinking this is not going to work.....I was wrong, within half an hour I boated my first ever dhu and at 9kg was a stonker compared to my ususal catches, I thought my day couldn’t get any better then an 8.5kg pink come over the side...speechless

Since then I have been learning in leaps and bounds targeting different species and Monday was another first for me...jigging wow it seems easy in theory but after watching Honsu I learnt there is a real art to it and I very much appreciate him taking the time to show me how it's done

 

Anyway enough babble I look forward to putting faces to names and seeing you guys out on the water

 

Cheers,

Shane
