Cracker Dhufish on Jig!!!!

With Fridays forecast looking sweet I decided to head back up to Two Rocks where I've been doing well on jigs. Craig (FW-Fishcrazy) was very keen to catch up and get into demersal but this time I persuaded him to use jig only no bait!

Craig still took out some local ocky and sinkers just incase but I was confident in converting him to artifitial. I gave him a Damiki Backdrop 200g jig to use and a quick run down on working it!

First drop got Craig his first fish on jig which was a blackarse and now onto my next spot. This next spot has produced ok size dhufish before but after the Furuno showed some dense echoes I was confident!

As I got the boat drift sorted I said to Craig drop your jig and that he did, I wasnt to long after him in dropping my jig and before I got to the bottom he was on. Craig had a good fish at the end of his line and I said its a solid dhufish ..... Craig said "you reckon" ......absolutely!!!

 

After many drag peeling runs and the rod loading up bigtime Craigs fish got closer and as I looked over the side I said big dhufish ......as it surfaced Craig was saying holy F%^k ........ big dhu!

So craigs second drop on jig produced this cracker dhufish that pulled the digital scales down to just over 17kg

 

Craigs certainly converted and we bagged out on jigs with more blackarse and dhufish to 8kg landed .............. great day on the water and good company!

 

Congrats Craig

 

Craigs dhufish 17kg on Damiki Backdrop 200g jig!

 

The Damiki Backdrops have been working well in the deeper water ie 60-80m with the 160g & 200g being ideal! (100g -130g in the 35-45m)

 Well done guys and great fish. I'm jealous it's been few months now since I got to see a slab like that pop up near the drift anchor. I hope Ryan was treated to a few coldies after a day like that
