First Sambo
We Went down south for the long weekend to try our luck out near canal and the Bay, thanks to Harro we had some guides on where to go and what we should be expecting. I was hoping on spending some time out the west side of canal rock and land some dhu's but the swell was a lil big and my deckies were not too keen on staying out there for too long, we spent a few hours out there with no luck and decided to pull the pin after one of my mates emptied his guts over the side.
We then launched off at old dunsborough and drove up to eagle bay found a nice patch and burlied up, again not much action, a few skippies, leather jackets, harli's and an unknown fish (see attached, anyone know what it is?). I had a live Skip paddling for its life out the back for a few hours and nothing, this skip had a bit of fight in him as even after we relocated he was still swimming strong. Eventually a nice Sambo swimming by decided he was an easy prey and smashed him and firmly jigging my hook in the side of his mouth. Fought him for about 15-20 minutes, toughest skippy ive seen for a long time as he managed to swim free once we got the sambo up to the boat. Anyway, the result was a some 18-20kg Sambo that i was might impressed with!

Great capture StevO
A Sambo on a skippy, interesting. I have found skippy fillets are pretty good bait.

Bloody tough fish alright
I am not sure if I would be swimming to well if I had been munched by a Sambo.

pretty good
well done mate at least u managed to get out, did u get on the lump in eagle bay ..
good spot to anchor , drift baits usuallt get smashed by sharks as well as sambos there.
see quite a few makos there, pros fish there for skippy (which does my head it so close to shore)
occasionally some nice pinks there too, i have dived it and there are plenty good fish down there,
well done mate.

Yeh we found the spot with plenty of action on the bottom but no big hookups apart from the sambo, will head down there when the weather is a bit better, a bigger boat would be nice too :)
Cheers again Harro.
