Dampier last weekend
After reading about the lack of input into the site I thought I would post the last weekend story.
A bit boring for some but hey it was great and fantastic fishing.
Cant be bothered taking pictures when the fish is on the bite, but will try and get some from the visitors on saturday that was snap happy.
Saturday lazy time. left at 12noon from Dampier and thought the wind would be cool. It sort of was so didnt head as wide as intended. Nice reef from memory found the old fashion way (GPS tracker broke) and we were into it. End of the day in the Home Esky 2 Jacks (odd to find them that far off as we also got some juvies undersize), 4 nice NW snapper of various varieties, a nice cod, a Trigger fish (I had no idea whether it was edible or not and dont like killing fish, but something "triggered" my mind that it was good) and the 2 price Trout, caught less than 1 minute apart. Left behind a truck load of odds and sods, including a very decent size ramora that I thought was not a eating fish.
Sunday out again but even more lazy. Out 1pm and it was jack city. I dont understand why Jacks are so far off in numbers greater than flags and NW snapper but in view of the previous effort only brought home 2. If it was a comp would have upgraded at least 10. Again a ball and it just proves that you dont have to be deep ++ to get quality fish.

I am not sure mate, but something "triggered" a thought in the back of my mind that Triggerfish are a relation to the leatherjacket and you pay top dollar for leatherjacket in fish shops in the Eastern States.
Mate it sounds like you had a pretty nice weekend up your way. Good to hear.

Good to hear you got into a few Neels.
Got to do the same when the weather is good, go wider and find some new ground. As it happens went out a week or so ago to a spot that I had marked from the billfish comp that looked good at the time. Saw fish on the sounder so went back to it and on the first and only drift pulled up a reddy. Not real big but I reckon a few of his bro's were there as well. Nice way to christen the new twinpower! Also picked up a half dozen squid closer in which at this time of the year I was pretty happy with.
Talk soon

Yes Bodie it wasnt to blowie
Had some runaround to do in the morning and it was still OK. Was not going to go Sunday but then what the heck.
Yes Colin it was a bit of fun.
Mullows we intended to go for squid but fished instead!
Would be nice to convince Jill to venture into red country.
Cheers all
