Dampier Report Part II

Continued from Part I,

So we headed out wide to see if we could find some fish for a jig. On our way there we found a school on the sounder so down went the jigs. Instant hookups on brassie trevally. After a bit of fun we moved on.

We got to our spot where we usually jig up plenty of trevs and the odd reefie. The sharks were a pain so we pushed on wider so explore some areas we hadn't been to before.


As you could see, the weather was awesome.

We sounded over some good looking broken ground that had fish showing on the sounder. First drop and Glenn nailed a nice Rankin on a knife jig. We changed to Taikaburas to entice some more strikes from reefies and Glenn hooked up onto another Rankin.

We moved back to the spot for another drift. First drop I hooked up straight away, another nice Rankin. Glenn also hooked up, this time it put up a bit more fight and he landed a nice little Red on the taikabura.

All up we landed 5 Rankins and 1 Red on the jigs. Was an awesome day out, fantastic weather, got some good GTs in the morning and topped it off with a feed of reefies on jigs.
