first dhuie yesterday off rocko
hey guys i just have to brag
i launched the boat yesterday at about 11 o'clock and motered to the back of the five in hope of a pinky or a sambo, i found some cray pots in 20m and started to drift thru them first drop my mate hooked up and landed a little 7kg sambo and i droped a nice fish about half way up probly a sambo after a re-bait i was back down and hooked up again but got this fish off the bottom pretty quick and saw a bit of colour but i couldnt id the fish then it woke up and lunged for the bottom i worked it back to the surface and saw this fish had a deep body so my first call was snapper but then i as it broke the surface i seen it was a dhuie with no net on board we grabed it by the mouth and heaved it ova the side i was stoked my first dhuie and finally broke in my boat after that i started to fick plastics for the rest of the day for only rat sambos and small snapper but the weather was magic so i didnt mind
cheers ethan

Wish MY first dhuie was that size! What is that, at least 5kg? Awesome. You should get yourself a little PE2 jigging outfit and fish the same ground PROPERLY now! JK, great start, you're on your way!

we used to troll through those bays all the time and catch salmon trout for hourrrrs! And then they disappeared, I have a sinking feeling that someone might have mistaken them for herring :S
