Early Season Sambo Madness
Headed out north of river for a fish today with TimVB and Dean, who answered a deckie call on FW last night. Nice fishing with ya Dean, you did very well mate and it was a pleasure to fish with you.
Hopes were not that high given the fairly fresh easterly, and white caps greated us on the 3 mile so we stuffed about in close then found a small lump with a nice show that yielded 4 dhuies, 2 oversize, one kept, which was Deans first size dhu. Well done buddie.
The wind dropped and the decision made to head wider, but we never made it.....we were still in close and only went several km before we hit a small lump with a LOT of sambos on it. IT was immediately obvious on the sounder they were sambos, and there we stayed for the next few hours catching and releasing well over 40 sambos........
I dropped PE2 down first....fail! Bricked straight aways so upgraded to PE3 and hooked up immediately.
Not huge but a sign of things to come.....
Dean then get his first sambo, tim hooked up in the background.
From here on, it was tripple hookups most drops, most fish hooked up within a few cranks. A mix of ambers and sambos.
Then they started getting bigger.
And bigger......
The day finished with two fish getting bitten off, then a pharken huge great white crruising past the boat, apparently saying thankyou for the free feed. AWESOME sight, thing was like a tank!
All in all a great day with Tim and Dean, and nice to get some very early sambos in shallow water and in close.

Nice sesh there boys! Funny how they often get bigger as you go on catching them. Takes a while to get the big ones excited I guess.

The art of fishing consists of casting, winding, trolling and jigging
while freezing, sweating, swatting and swearing.

Hey Dean
Epic mate, great catch, you DOG,
Hopefully a sign of the times,
The only thing bigger than that sambo is the smile on your dial.
cheers

Great work John - awesome fun
Great work John - awesome fun session by the looks
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.
