Dinghy dhuies
A 2:30am wake up had me debating whether yesterday was going to be worth it, but after 2 stops to collect the crew, we managed to beat the crowds and hit the water sub 5am. Car park was already pretty packed though!
The weather forecast was definitely off the mark, but nonetheless we stayed dry, and it was reasonably comfortable, despite the slop. The first few spots were quiet, so when the wind backed off a smidge, we pushed out to the 40's. BOOM, masterstroke!
straight into them! Dhuies, big, and thick! We all got onto them, and aside from a whoppin big black arse and foxy, decided to pull the pin as we couldn't get away from the big dhus. Kept 2 around 8kg and 14kg, and cruised back to the ramp around 10:30am, home and filleted with red cans by 12:30. Definitely worth it.

Well done
And half your luck.
of the last half a dozen trips out, we have managed a HEAP of undersize dhuie's, but barely cracked a sized keeper to save ourselves.
Seems to be heaps of blackarse around a the moment, but sized dhuie's are hard to come by.
were you mainly using baits or jigs?

So, have you had a good day or what!
Sounds like a great day on the water, no need for a floating gin palace to get onto the fish. Well done

cheers lads
cheers for the comments blokes. all the better when you're only using around 12L fuel per trip!
scano, all baits. perhaps the cooler water has bought a few more blackarse into the metro?
Timmy K, its a 16ft tinny mate, but she's very seaworthy.
