First post
On Tuesday a mate and I decided our time would better be spent fishing than at work given the weather on the weekend is not looking flash.
Headed out from Mindarie at about 8:30 to look for a spot we'd heard about. After sounding around for a while we found what we were looking for and the first drift produced a cracking sambo on a jig. There was another boat anchored up nearby doing well on baits so we decided to do the same. Within about 30 minutes we'd boated and successfully released a fish each - my mate's son needed a bit of help but got there in the end. Not much action on bottom species so went home empty handed, but since everyone caught a pb sambo was still a great day! The last one caught was the biggest and we estimate it would have been at least 25kg.
On another note, people on the boat near us were picking fish up by the gills and taking a fair while to get them back into the water. A couple they'd released hadn't swum off and weren't looking real flash. They did the right thing though by pulling up anchor and going over to the fish to make sure they survived. It's great to see such powerful fish swim away to fight another day.

Welcome
Great first post Tim and welcome to FW'd. Congrats on the PB's...the young lad will be grinning for weeks with a fish like that.
Just a tip with ya pics. Spin ya boat around so the sun is directly on the fish and fisho and try to keep the launcher shadows out....oh and fill flash on (if you have it). Might aswell get a top pic to go with PB captures (or any capture for that matter).
Once again a great first post.
Cheers Pete

Nice work on the PBs. Slept well that night I'm sure.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

Welcome timvb
Sambo's are fun and a nuisance all at the same time.
Good work on getting a fish in before the big blow. This weekend looks aweful.
