dream day out
Went out with my skipper and personal mate luke (fishon570) yesterday.
The day started out shit with me losing my rod out of the rodholder (demondblood pe 2-4) which resulted in us sharing a rod for the whole day.
Then when we arrived at out spot, the fishing was slow with me catching a very small dhu (released) and luke catching a wrass. We fished the first spot for over 2 hours, and spirits on boad were a bit low as the fish didnt want to play. But being the awesome skipper lukey boy was, he was determined to put us on some fish.
So after a 30 minute drive, we got to our 2nd spot. As i was throwing out the drift anchor, luke was already onto his 1st drop. Before the jig reached the bottom, it got smashed by an est 20kg sambo. After landing his sambo, i dropped straight back down resulting in a similar size sambo. we continued to jigg for sambos for over an hour, Landed about 5 sambos, and lost many more. The next fish i hooked had me guessing, i was jigging at high speeds but the fish felt nothing like a sambo. My suspicions were correct when a nice baldy popped his head up. After the baldy, we focused more on demersal jigging, which resulted in lukey boy catching another larger baldy.
After lukes baldy, things went quiet so we decided to drift over the sambos again. This time i was on big again. Our thoughts were another sambo, but the sheer weight of the fish and smaller runs had us guessing and hoping it was a large dhu. after a long fight the fish started surfacing 10m from the boat, which got us all very excited. then a 16kg dhu popped up. Spirits were high as a kite and hi-5's going around.
good days fishing.

That's an awesome Dhuie on the jig, gotta be happy with that! Sounds like it ended up being a great day out, conditions magical too!
Bummer about losing the rod mate, whats the story there? Did you honestly share 1 rod for the day??? Can't say I've been out on a boat with only 2 rods onboard before.. haha.. more common to have atleast 5-10 outfits to cover all bases.

it was in the rod holder and being a 2pce the rod wasnt jammed in the butt properly and when i went to pick up the rod to rigg up, it fell overboard at quite a high speed. just glad the stella didnt fall over with it.
Any sponsors here, or anyone know if i can get the other half, and where? loved that rod

Ohhh the top half went over,
Ohhh the top half went over, unlucky but I'm sure you could get the top somehow. Surely someone on here that's in the tackle industry could help you out.

Some great fish there!

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
