Boys day jigging

Took my young bloke Rob and a few of his mates out for a fish today. Neither of his mates had caught a sambo before so that was the aim.

Magnificent day on the water, but it proved hard to find sambos early, but the dhuies were loving the jigs and we had to content ourselves with 2 dhuies over 600 and a nice black arse by 8.15 am.

The boys were happy, but wanted a sambo, so we headed for a few spots I have.

A few fish on the sounder and all 4 of us hooked up, but my young blokes got comprehensively bricked on his light jig gear.....his mates really struggled with the power of these fish but on heavier gear landed a couple of nice ambers, as did I.


Looking for something a bit bigger, we decided to head out wide and hit the barges. Waste of time, first drop sharked, so we hastily retreated back in shallower, likely spot resulted in this fattie on PE2, which was released to hopefully make more dhuies.

Great day, a few grunts of approval from the 15yr olds was the pinnacle of conversation for the day....haha, funny buggers pubescent boys!

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
