Jigging and fishing Albany offshore yesterday
For my brothers birthday yesterday we managed to get out in the boat with a mate of ours jayden and boy did we have an out of control day!!
left the boat ramp at 3:30 am for what was looking to be a great day weather wise and started making our way out to some spots for demersals. first light we had first drop, slowly making our way out further with the weather just getting better and better all the time, picked up 6 nannys and a big breaksea and some small sambos for a slow start.
got out to the sambo patches and had some fun in glass off conditions for a few hours, we managed a heap of fish over 20kg and i managed to smash my PB sambo and crack my 100lb+ goal with a sambo that was just out of this world big!! over 160cm long and somewhere over 100lbs. we even hooked up to a few that felt bigger again!!
with arms and backs sore it was off to fill the esky with demersals. found another 3 patches of sambos and managed to find a school of pinkys and another school of nannys hanging behind the sambos so we picked up our bag of nannys and 7 pinkys in about half an hour or so.
few more sambo drops and called it quits for the drive back in with the ocean still looking like a lake.
one of the best days ive ever had out in the boat and cant wait to get back out there again.
always looking for a new challenge!!

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Nice bag of fish and that's a cracker of a Sambo. You guys are spoilt with the Nanny bag limits. They're one of my favourite eating fish.

That sambo looks insane! It would probably pull me in. Hopefully I can get onto a few nannys when I'm in Albany after new years
