Dhuys and Amberjacks off Cape Nat
Well finally got a break in the weather yesterday and got out for a fish. The plan was to get a couple of dhuys and then go jigging for sambos. Dave (wind on Dave) and Liam (lamby) were my deckies for the day.
Hit the first spot at around 7am. First drift was a little off target but the next resulted in a triple hook up which resulted in 3 dhuys. Smallest was released and the other two were dispatched into the extreme coolers esky.
One more drift and another 2 were boated both being released in good condition. All fish caught on a range of plastics and metal jigs.
With a couple of dhuys in the esky it was time to go and find some sambos. Decided to try a spot in the 60s that I hadn't fished in over a year that holds a few sambos from time to time.
After a bit of searching found a nice bait ball. First drift resulted in a couple of jigged amberjacks. Unusual catch for down here but great fun.
The next couple of hours were spent jigging up more of these little speedsters. The outfits slowly got lighter and lighter the more we caught.
The next few photos are some of the smaller outfits loaded up. The first being a Jig Force 90g rod.
A Major Craft Crostage
A Evergreen Poseidon Spin Jerker
After the session on the amberjacks we tried jigging a few other spots for not much, then called it a day.
Hopefully get out again this week while the weathers good.

You might want to get someone
You might want to get someone to look at the hand and arm growing off you in that first picture - I'm no doctor, but I don't think that is normal.
Other than that looks like a nice day at the office!
