Great fish , unusual bait
Well today thanks to Bodie for taking me out in his boat i caught my first Dhuie!!!! Just scratchin 9kg 8)
I also landed 2 nice pinkies
Now for the funny part, guess what bait i was using????????
Strips of rainbow trout!!!!!
I had 1 left over from golden pond and i chucked in in the freezer to use for bait.
In the pics you can see the occy on the top hook but the botton hook had the rainbow trout on it and was the only hook out of the 2 that the fish would touch :lol:
Might have to go back to golden ponds and get some more trout :lol:
Bodie got a snapper and a shark of some decription. I had a solid hookup on a freight train. I managed to get some line back before it spat the hook but it was HUGE!!!!
Here are some pics of the dhuie...
(Thanks Bodie, great pic)

nice fish there marc .. just
nice fish there marc ..
just a bit of advice if i may ... cut all the skin off ya occy when using it as bait and leave it in single strip .. sometimes presentation is everything .. plus the skin gets jelly like and covers the hook points too much

Great fish Marc
Strips of Rainbow Trout - a bet that Dhuie had never tasted that before. Well done.

The strips of trout looked mint on the hook , very silver and white flesh was to tempting for the snapper and dhuie!

Was a pretty good day out,
Was a pretty good day out, altho very lumpy!!!
Had a few dramas with the boat at the ramp...flat batteries!!!! (And yes i did check them the night before!!)
I think there is a power leak somewhere.
But we got there.
That Fish Feral belive it or not, had 2 hooks in its mouth. I busted off on a fish 1 minute before Marc wound his in with the Dhu on the end.....it had my hooks!!!! sweet got my rig back!
In hiene sight we should have kept drifting over the Pinky mark, but i think our eyes were loaded up for a dig dhu, so we moved a little, but i shoudl ahve gone otu the back of the bank instead of sitting inside it.
But still got a feed, thats good enough for me, as its probably the last trip i get before the ban kicks in!!! off to Karratha tomrorow :D:D

Amazing. The same thing happened to me on Sunday
Hooked and lost a god fish and 5 minutes later Matt (Hlokk) pulled up a Dhuie with my rig in its mouth. It shows that Dhuies at least are not affected by having hooks in them.
