Hey crew,

Time to report my latest adventure off the coast of Dongara Sunday 27th March, with the weather lookin good an afternoon 3.30pm high tide and the inshore grounds being very shut down of late with all the hot/dirty water around I decided to head out and jig a few plastics on a nice little coral patch I have out in the 45-50's.

Half way out I spotted a couple of pro cray pots all bunched together so I decided to pull up for a look see, there was a couple of good fish showing on the HDS and first drop this solid Baldy nailed my placcy 5m off the bottom.

After catching the Baldy it went quiet around the pots so I continued on to my coral spot, the HDS was showing good coral with a few fish holding close to the bottom and first drift produced this Red Throat Emp.

Followed by my mate Fishncrazy jigging up one of the biggest Red Throats I've seen at 62cm.

Then it was MRSTWITCHEMUP's turn having her big Squidgy fish soft plastic whoofed by this 8kg male Dhu..

Next up for me was this 58cm Red Throat Emp which again hit the plastic hard up off the bottom.

Next drift and bang Fishncrazy is on then a second later bang "I'm on" ... Yeeww Double hookup to a pair of soild fish..

 The results of the doulble hookup 5kg and 9kg Dhu Bangers..

By this stage the sounder was alive with fish on the flat coral and as soon as my plastic hit the bottom one jig up and I was connected to this 8.5kg Dhu..

And then to round out an awesome days plastic fishing, Fishncrazy had his placcy crunched by this 9.5kg Dhu.. 

By this time the Southerly was well and truly in and it was time to head home we left the schools of Dhu's and Red Throats biting.

So there it is another succesfull plastics session off Dongara in total we boated 6 x Dhus between 4 - 9.5kg, 5 x Red Throat Emperor and the Baldy. We kept 2 x 8kg Dhus 2 x Red Throats and the Baldy and released the rest in perfect health to be caught another day.

Now it's time to start getting ready for the Exmouth Comp just hope the fishing mojo follows team Twitchy up there, cheers for the read everyone.
