Few Fish
Just had a few weeks off work.
Managed to get out in the boat once down in Dunsborough. Was a really uncomfortable day on the water with a 1.5m swell going strait up and down and about a 15kn north easter. We still managed to do alright and got some decent fish. Thanks to Lamby for the help.
Managed to get the new boat record for a dhu aswell.
My brother in law caught this one. Not bad for his first jigged fish. Using JM Sabre Game with a diawa catalina 4000 with PE3.
Jig was a cheap nasty williamson vortex speed jig in 150gr
Fish went bang on 1m and weighed 16kg
Few other fish from the day. There was a pinky and a couple nannies aswell but not in the pic.
We also headed off down to Albany for the easter break. And over the 4 days fishing managed about 60 salmon all taken on lures. With the 40gr halco twistie in silver and the big white richter plugs being the clear winners.
Hooked up on Shelley Beach.
My 2 year old son watching on in anticipation.
The result. This was in the first 5 mins of fishing on the first day.
Even the missus got in on the action.
All my fish where taken on the Halco Twistie Using a Shimano Snapper Raider 762 with a Shimano Stradic Ci4 with 14lb braid. Just to keep it interesting.
We fished Shelley Beach, Dingos Beach and Bettys Bay all in Albany.
Cheers Jayce

williamson
those Williamson jigs work pretty well, I picked up 3 for $20 at the boat show and have caught heaps of fish on them. Dont need to pay for the premium jigs to catch fish

Great work, looks like a
Great work, looks like a couple of awesome sessions
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.

Cheers fellas it was a good
Cheers fellas it was a good couple weeks off and yeah it was a cracker dhu. Had me calling a sambo until it actually broke the surface 30m out the back of the boat.
I will be back down in Albany for round 2 on the salmon this weekend and hopefully the weather stays good and I can get a deckie organised so I can get the boat out there.
Haha Lamby about the only skill I had in that Dhuie was the skills to retain myself from messing the GAFF shot up on him for out fishing me.
