JIGGING SUNDAY

Went out todayand after vowing not to jig, thanks to shark problems last week, I couldn't resist after no luck trolling or bottom bouncing and looking at the sounder I had to drop a jig...

 

 

First up a small amberjack, followed by a small yellowtail king (my first jigging) and on my third drop a big hookup, followed by a dead weight.... As I got near the surface a big shark, about 10 foot, followed up a hald eaten amberjack.... (at this point I nearly shat my pants... big fish rocketing up very quick)...

 

 

Three drops 2 and a half fish.... Fourth drop first full amberjack, of a good size. Then my mate hooked on with PE3 and from there it was a fish a drop. Using PE6 I had to drop a jig using my PE2 spin outfit (Saltiga 70s with a Certate 3500HD). Immediately hooked up on a good fish straight away using a 160g mejiyume jig. A heap of line was taken during a long fight, but eventually a good amberjack was boated - great fun on light gear...

 

 

Great day where we got a heap of god amberjack, a yellowtail king and striped tuna all on jig. We also managed a few good size skippy.... Other than my half eaten fish and one lost jig sharks weren't a problem today...

 

 

Hopefully the pic's work out...

Try this

http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe

 

If you have windows XP, use this.  Just install, then right mouse click on the photo, 4th option down is resize photos, then go for gold.

If you have vista, you will need a graphics program to resize them.

 

Sounds like a good day out.

Cheers,

Adam
