dhuies on sp's . my pb :)

after many months without the beast, i was finally able to get out amonst the fish again.

i packed my stuff and headed a few hrs nth of perth for the weekend.

day 1 i fished bait and killed the pig lol so i decided to change to placs only, mainly 7" jerkshads .jigging with my symetre 4000 with 14lb crystal fireline, 40lb leader on a 5-8kg snapper raider rod.

i pulled a 4kg dhuie and a 3kg pinky amonst other nice fish, but on the last day in shallow ,we put in a hr b4 packing up and boy was i glad i did it :) this 8+kg 83cm dhuie was a pb on placs .admitingly i havnt done it much b4 so i was absolutely stoked.

i landed 5 size dhuies on placs and the boys on board landed a heap also on placs, im truly a convert with dhuie on placs!!!!!!
