Dhufish 25/8/12
I have been working hard on finding spots and new ground, Been doing fairly well with some pinks and dhus and i was just saying i want to find the ground where i go 'Wow see those fish and then catch them'
Me and hlokk headed out from woodies at 8am, quick stop in the 20's for some whiting for bait and started heading out deeper. I thought we would have a quick drift at a spot i found last week where we started with a double hook up of dhus on bait which were put on ice for dinner. With 2 on the esky we hoped for a species change but no luck.
We found insane fish on the sounder, it felt like i was watching the dhus take my bait some times, i took a screen print in the iphone ( which i use for a monitor at the back of the boat ) but it didn't take for whatever reason, spewing.
We then changed to jig and i landed my first fish on jig and the new combo. All in all we landed 9 Dhus, 4 on bait 5 on jig, 5 sized. Hlokk caught the biggest of the day at 82cm on jig too bad the dhu went silver for the picture. All 7 released, it was a cracking day out with the weather perfect we where home by 2.
Cheers,
Vinnie

iPhone as monitor?
Just curious how you can use your I phone as a monitor at the back of the boat?
Do you have some method of Bluetooth transfer between your sounder and phone or something like that?

Good day but the filleting
Good day but the filleting was a bitch...
Great weather, cruisy day, heaps of fish and a few double hookups. How fishing should be. Wishing we had the gopro to get the strikes though.
First hooku Vinnie went "get yours first then mine" while he had one on, then 2 seconds later I was on, haha. Happened in reverse on the jigs too.
