Jurien Bay - Part 3 - 9th Aug - A Rocky Epic Trip
Its my 2nd trip again to Jurien Bay in as many weeks. This time with the company of FreoBear, ChrisP and Flangies. Again all artificials and no bait trip but been a little more windy than the last trip, Whitey brought some bait just in case. Needless to say we rocked about a fair bit and the drift was a little fast for demersals, went chasing sambos to stretch out muscles out abit. Within a very short travelling time, we were into them. Out comes the silly gear (PE 2-3) and we were dancing around each other.
Later that morning the wind dropped abit and Whitey found us some demersals to play with. I got my first Baldie on jig which I was very pleased. One Blackass had about 4 or 5 goes on my Eupro Marugo jig and eventually hooked up. Very light coloured blackass (#3 pic below) Chris was going good with the sambos which seem to follow him everywhere but eventually got into some good fish. Freobear got abit inpatient with the jig, so he was the first with baits down but did get his fair share of good fish, pinkies and baldies. Flangies also got into a heap of sambos and pinkies on the McArthy plastics but his fish were not as EPIC this time round but nevertheless, still good fish.
This trip there was a fair few blackass (atleast 8) and baldies (atleast 6) caught. Only 4 or so Dhuies hit the deck, mostly around legal size. Whitey managed his first good Dhuie on jig (which I'll have to get that pic), at around 9-10kg.
All up was a good rocky trip and bloody good company and crew. Another BIG THANKS to Whitey and his deckie, Matt, for making it a great trip despite the weather. Definately a worthwhile trip for a repeat....AGAIN!!

The lure in the 3rd pic is a Eupro Namari jig 140gm and fished on the bottom with the fast drift.
Was a great day but hard work getting the results.
It was a COLD morning, hence the extra layers.
And yes multiple outfits....2 of my Jig Force rods there, one with a Calcutta Conquest and the spin one has a SW Stella.
