Double Digit Dhuies
One of my good mates, Brad, is being dragged off to Xmas Island for 1 year plus within the month for work (well for the good wife anyway). He has only ever caught a just sized dhu; so the task was to better that last Friday. With the weather for Friday being predicted as the best for the week, an early start was the order of the day.
We launched at Two Rocks just before sunrise. 10 miles out, first drop of the day, I hooked up to a big dhue, but unfortunately the hooks pulled early in the tussle. New ground found and we both load up, me with this one and Brad with a small PB ~8 kg Dhu 30 seconds later.
Another drift 20 metres west then produced for Brad his first double digit dhu and probably his PB Dhuie for along time to come.
In between the dhues were a couple of pinkies and a big cuttlefish.
With the limited days available for fishing lately for me (weather and work) this was a great day to be on the water.
Cheers Pete

Great stuff Pete!
I must start organizing my fishing gear, it's taken a back seat due to diving lately! I only have one rod and a small tackle pouch for "one rod fits all" fishing at the moment!

Nice Work Pete
Great stuff Pete. Great to see Brad land a decent dhuie. Any PB on a boat is a great one.
Three days without it and I get a little jumpy
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

I hear you Alfred - love my
I hear you Alfred - love my fishing, and diving has been a life passion....but you need similiar good conditions for both. Not enough days off and the days off are not long enough for both activities to be squeezed in fully.
Spoke to Brads wife last night - 'take him out again - the dhuie has been eaten and was magnificent'.
Cheers Pete
