Good Fun
So decided that yesterday was the day to head out to gemini wreck and see if any decent size sambos had arrived.
Late launch at Mindarie at 9:30 were at the wreck just before 10am
Plenty on the sounder, so down go the jigs.
First jig.....nothing.....second.....nothing....third drop....fish on!!!!
10 meter run straight into the wreck! Damn!!
about 15 more drops....nothing.
Decide to try for demersals under the school of sambos....
Bring out my 15lb custom dermeral rod with a Luvias 3012h and 15lb saltiga surf braid, tie on a eupro flash 80g in the silver
Drop down
two jigs up and smashed! thinking DHU/PINKY...30m run....definitly a sambo! OH F*&K!
35mins later and 500m away from where first hooked up, up comes this monster!
After that decided to check out 3Mile!
find a nice coral patch in about 20-24m and drop down the jigs. after a few wrasse and a scorpion cod, Shaun hooks up to something decent, starts pulling some line, and being metro....3 mile reef...called it for a smalll sambo, 2mins later....
65cm DHU!!!
Was a cracking day out on the water and was good to see there are a few fish around!

Gemini sambo don't seem to like the big jigs....seen too many I guess. I have fallen for the dame trap before out there and gone for light leader on a small demersal jig, but was never good enough to actually land one.
Boston Whaler 235 Conquest......getting the flogging it was built for.
