Express Dhufishing
With seabreeze predicting 13 knots and fishranger predicting 7kn offshore Perth eartly Thursday, I knew most seabreezers wouldnt be at boat ramp and there wouldnt be much of a line. I had just enough time to head out for a couple of quick drifts then head back. I thought it would be good to test out my new gopro clamp mount so I did a little bit of filming too. I was rigged up with Dhubite jigs in the western brown colour and the Dhubite dual assists (less stressful as theyre only $5 a pop at the mo).
Going over some of my ground on the way out didnt show much activity, so I gave them one drop each to be sure and continued on.
The next spot showed a couple of good specs so I gave it a quick jig. First drop produced a tasty blackbum and second drop a pesky sergeant baker who went straight back. Had a quick glance at the sounder and saw a decent singular bar directly under me. Dropped straight back down, hit bottom, held the jig upright just off bottom incase any predators heard the thud and were wandering over to investigate. Before any retrieving I got a decent strike. Being only the second time Ive fished this spot I hadnt noticed any lumps or caves here, just some small ledges so I played it safe and kept the drag resonably loose incase he was hooked in the gut. I wasnt too concerned with the fish taking line, until I realised he had just hugged up against a ledge and I could feel I was rubbing rock (easy to spot this part on the video - serenity now). The ocea 100lb fluro did me well and with a solid pull out he came. From there I kicked into second and didnt take anymore chances! Got him in with some very frayed leader, lucky this time.
On the way in I had a quick troll which produced a SBF tuna using the dhubite deep diver.
Finished by 9am, always a good way to spend the morning!

Nice post and Video mate.
Nice post and Video mate. Those jigs look alright and good price. I just bought a few on your shop. I chose store pick up but there is no pick up address on line or in the confirmation email. Also your prices should be GST inclusive in and Australian shop...

Cheers for sharing
Cheers for sharing sonofdarryl. You will be getting a purchase from me very soon. The little skirts on the lure treble is interesting. Never seen that before. Do you find that it makes a difference to not having one on there?
