Hi all,

I caught today my first good Dhui. After checking the forecast yesterday it didn't look like a great day for fishing. So we thought we just head out to check the pots. There were empty like usual... The weather turned out to be pretty good so we decided to head out further to see if we can hook in some Demersals.

We drifted over a few spots without much success. I think it was at the third spot where my mate hooked in a nice blue bone. That was about 55cm and 3-4kg. That started our Season of nicely. On the next spot then we put down some squid bait and it didn't take long for my mate to hook into something bigger. And after a few minutes of fight we spotted some colour. A couple of minutes later our first Dhui was on board. The size for this was about 70cm and 9kg That got us all very excited , my mate and his dad where still busy with the Dhui when my rod ( and that was my first bite of the day as well ) went off. I could feel straight away that this was something a little bit bigger. The fight was harder than I expected and after about 10 to 15 minutes my first big Dhui was on board as well. It weight 14.3kg and was 95cm long.  

I was stoked!!!

We managed to get 2 more baits down but no takers. Then the wind started picking up and we had to make our way back. As we came to 3 mile reef we stopped for a last try to drop some baits. No takers again . But then the sounder started to show heaps of Fish everywhere from top to bottom. A look over the side and we saw a huge school of bait fish. That looked pretty awesome. As I saw it later in the news that must have been the one which was at Trig and Scarb earlier today.

Hope everyone else had a good day too!

Cheers Seb
