Hi All,

Managed to get another leave pass up to jurien again this week end, jagged the weather for a couple of days making it another great trip.

Johnny was good enough to take the young fellahs out again with the new addition of Stokesy to his team and give the jigsgers another good hiding in our long running shit slinging bait Vs Jigs saga - alot of beers and banter the night before set the scene for a cracker of wk end, team jig -(me and browny) were confident we were going to take down the master baiters (stokesy, johnny) in our rematch.

any way off we started on friday - cracker of a day slight breeze and 31 degrees fish were fairly finicky but were taking the jigs, as usual johnny put us on the spots and we got our 8 fish for the day with everyone contributing to the bag - Browny did it again  a master stroke changed the jig to SP and Wack first drop he was onto something big - after a great fight on the light gear he landed a nice 17kg and 8kg Dhuie, me just backing up the team with a big BA and baldy to consolidate the day 1 win for the jigs.

Day 1 catch - 2 x dhuies, 3 x BA, 2 x baldies and pinky

Browny with his PB happy as!, a great photo could be POTM material 

Day 2

After another night of beers and banter (the jiggers doing most of the mouthing) we headed out to Cervantes for a beach launch, this was a master stroke from the old salty riding the south westerly all the way back to jurien was a very comfortable ride - well played mate.

day started fairly slow again - the jiggers hitting the scoreboard again early with a couple of BA and Baldies, with nothing much happening in the 40 - 50s, johnny decided to head out into the 80s, again a master stroke - the spot was loaded, first drop for the jiggers yielded a pinky a baby dhu, next was a nice nanny that i was pretty happy with, johnny and the baiters hit back with a cracker baldie (well done stokesy) and nice pinky - that was us pretty much bagged out for the day with boat full of baldies, BA and Pinkies, nannygai.

Last drop was called around 1 doing one more drift over the spot - i drop my haoli 240 grammer down again and suddently faaaarken wack - im onto to a freight train at 90 metres depth, ahhhh sht im in for the long haul here - starts peeling off the line, gain a colour and lose 2, rod was fully loaded for the next half hour - what a battle, something i had been wanted all trip it was an awesome feeling, this thing has so much power.

i was absolutely shattered and finally landed this thing - was a 135cm 21kg Sambo, as you can see i could hardly lift it in the photo, what a battle from 90 metres - thanked the fish for smashing me and released well.

My Nanny

Stoksys first cracker of Baldie - went 4.1kg

My arm tearer and PB Sambo - 21kg 135cm

All in all another great wk end, johnny again your a legend and thanks to a great bunch of blokes for making it even more enjoyable, and as usual i cant wait to do it again.

had to slip this in - jigs won the battle this time but the war will continue (gunner your next :) - GO THE JIGS!!!!

Cheers All again Dan
