Broome Jetty Queenies

was up in broome for my missus 30th bday over the weekend. I was sternly told before we left that 'this is not a fishing trip', however managed to get a small amount of fishing in around her birthday festivities.

 

headed out on the jetty and the queenies were absolutely everywhere... pretty much everyone was pulling them up- most were small approx 2kg skinnies but a few larger 5+kg models were caught. I got a couple on plastics, larger sinking skirts where also doing the damage casted along the side of the jetty and retrieved / jigged with a bit of pace. Seeing as nothing else was on the bite a lot of crew were keeping them to eat..... they are ok fresh but nothing to speak of.

here's a quick video of some of the action- apologies for the quality (note my hand in the way from time to time- i didnt want to drop my phone in the drink!

another bloke was a bit too slow reeling a fish in and one of the resident gropers / cod had a good feed.

 

Cheers
