Dhutime

Having not had much of a chance for a fish, let alone target Dhuies, last Sunday was the day.
An early launch from 2roxs had my mate Jimmy and myself being tossed around in a strong SE'er but this was good as it forced us to explore shallow ground closer to shore.
After a bit of exploring a nice small patch of coral in 28m was found.  Small pinkies were the first onto the baits with all released.  Another drift was set with a later drop.  Hmm just missed it, oh well lets stay down a while longer.  Tap, tap tap, feed line...I'm on.  A nice Dhu of about 5 kilo.  Another drift was set again to test this area again as there was not much showing on the sounder.  Within 30 seconds, I'm on..feels like a small pinkie.  Whack, wooh, now that is bigger and definately a Dhu.  The hooks pulled after just lifting her.  Damn, so I pulled up and released the small pinkie.  Within 30 seconds Jimmy was loaded up....hey that was my Dhu!
We had one each so the call was to move to a new spot to target some KG's.  With whiting rigs down, more small pinkies were released and eventually my first KG on an octa (slightly sweetened though).
Now me mate Jimmy doesn't own a camera so he struggled with the pics.
Where is my head?
Jimmy's Dhu
Octa KG
Photo practice and a better job
We got checked by fisheries just after 10am out on the water and again at the ramp - twice in one day, now thats a first.
Home and washed up by 3pm and fresh Dhuie for dinner - arh I needed that!
Cheers Pete
