Jurien Bay with Seasport
Submitted by Albee Mangles on Sun, 2011-09-04 15:40
Tuesday i was lucky enough to take a day off work, and head up to Jurien Bay for a day out with Craig White on Seasport Charters. We left home just on 5am and arrived in JBay around 7.30 where myself and Carmel met up with my ol'mate Graeme, Scott Coghlan and his mate Ash, we were introduced to Whitey and first mate Blair, loaded up the yaks and gear and away we went. It was a glorius morning, and we were greeted by dead flat waters as the 50' ex cray boat powered off into the waters of the bay.
We soon arrived at our first stop, which was some dropoffs behind some closer in bombies approximatley 7-8k offshore. We threw the yaks in the water, we not without incident as Blair ended up in the drink!! Soon we were throwing plastics behind the reef, landing a few whopping skippy of around 1-2kg, soon i was onto the mother of all hookups, and after rapidly losing line was done over. The yakking was relativley unproductive tho, so we got the yaks back ondeck and headed out for some shallow water jigging. Over the rest of the day we had some amazingly hot fishing, with up to 5 of us hooked up at once on 8-10kg sambo's, some decent Dhu's and a spattering of Pink Snapper.
Was a great day on the water, exploring some new ground, and making some new mates. Will be some great trips in the future up there i'd imagine, and Whiteys boat is really ideal.
One of my Jig caught Sambo's for the day, smashed an Evergreen Caprice 100gm, on the Finn Noir Offshore Jig rod, Daiwa Capricorn4500j and 30lb Braid, superb little outfit for this style of fishing!!
Cogger and his Sambo, some red hot periods during the day, with 5 blokes dancing the Sambo dance, exciting stuff!!!
My biggest Sambo of the day, this one hurt... Smashed a Mcarthy Bullhead Minnow, on the Nitro Godzilla, Stradic 8000Fi Combo
Heres a vid of the day as well i put together, for the boaties sit thru the yakking bit at the start and we get into some fish from the boat, watch for the underwater stuff too!!
Enjoy!

getting the bottom line final answer from a bunch of blokes that use false names and put smiley faces at the end of paragraphs is not the best place in the world to get the information you seek.
