First jigged dhu
Headed out yesterday off Rockingham. Started off with a few nice KGS and undersize dhuies and snapper. At the last stop before home had the rod in the holder with bait. Headed up the front of the boat to have a look at the sounder, then the old boy calls out your ON! But before I could get back it was off. Pulled up and the bottom Snell was gone. Decided to drop down a pirate jig to entice her back and bang was straight back on again pulling string, then off again after around 5 secs. Pulled up to see one of the assist hooks straightened. Swapped to a haoli jig. Couple of twitches and on again pulled fair amount string, just hoping it would stay connected. Third time lucky, still had the snelled hooks in its gob. Up popped this girl. Pretty happy for a first on jig.

Yep conditions sure were
Yep conditions sure were hard going
. Definitely given me more reason to have more of a crack with the jigs . Usually fall back to bait after seeing the baiters getting more hits.
