Well today Glenn and I decided to head wide for a jig at one of our never-fail jigging spots for something a little different as it's been ages since we've been out there.
It was a little bumpy in the morning despite the fact that there wasn't much wind. We decide to have a quick pop while we still had a bit of tide movement and while we waited for the water to calm down.
The tides weren't the best for GTs and the fishing showed. I got one hit from a small GT and this nice Coral Trout as a consolation prize and a first pilbara trout on popper for me.

It calmed off a bit so we pushed on. Our spot was a fair way out so we decided to jig a few likely looking spots on the way. First drop at the first spot I came up solid on a good fish. I cranked the drag on my stella 8000 which put the brakes on a good Spaniard of about 20kg that rocketed out of the water like a torpedo, shaking my jig free in the process... dam.
We pushed on further, and at the next spot, Glenn was rewarded with a nice Rankin Cod on about the 2nd or 3rd drop.
We kept heading out wider to our spot, the last glimpse of the islands dissapearing on the horizon behind us. The sounder indicated that we had arrived, lit up with fish.
First drop and instantly we got a double hookup on a Brassy/gold spot combo. Next drop and we got a brassy double. We kept fishing there and I lost count of the number of fish we caught until the sharks moved in and shut it down.

We moved out wider to another spot we had marked close by. We got hit straight away by some unsusual trevally that you don't see every day. Always nice to get something different.

The brassies were still abundant, and they provided some good fun. I managed to extract a nice little GT from amongst the hordes of brassy trevs whilst Glenn hooked onto something really good. It took him right to the surface and then bit him off. My guess was a mackie/wahoo. Dissapointed, it would have been good to see what it was.

Soon after, Glenn nailed a nice fish right on the bottom that didn't fight like the trevally we'd been catching. Up came a nice Spango, a first for Glenn on jig.

We moved back to the other spot and the fish were back on. Double hookups on the first drop to some more trevs. We hooked a couple of good fish which we think were demersals but we couldn't get them past the sharks.
It started getting late so we decided to start the 51km trip home. All in all a good day, we lost about 3 jigs each, some to sharks others to some toothy pelagics. All up we probably landed about 40 fish on jigs between us, mostly trevally of various species with a few demersals mixed in.
