jurien bay with whitey 30/12/2010
well, just got back several hours ago from yet again a great experience out with whitey. left home with a mate at around 2am to head up to the marina as the boat was scheduled to leave at 4:30, our main target were demersals with my mate (ben) using mostly bait and me using jigs only. got there in time, there were 8 people in total including whitey and deckie, and we were off to our first spot. as soon as we arrived at the spot i realised everyone but me and whitey were using bait, didnt bother me...first drop me and ben both get a double hookup, after few minutes of toying with the fish, 2 small dhuis came up...perfect way to start off the day.
after the two dhuies, it quitened down a tad, managed a few small sambos but nothing to great so we decided to move on to the next stop. as soon as we arrive we notice there is a school of fish down there, so everyone drops the bait while i jig my way up...we were hoping for a school of dhuis or snapper but they turned out to be sambos, and lots of them, almost everyone on the boat managed a few, few big ones but most were still quite small.
eventually we got sick of the sambos so we drifted couple hundred meters away, second drop both me and ben once again get a solid double hookup, we werent quite sure what they were at the start, we were hoping for anything besides sambos, eventually bens comes in and it turns out to be a nice dhui that went 72cm
5 or so minutes later mine also decided to show up, got greeted by a very nice 77cm pinkie
after these two fish everyone else started hooking up to dhuis, we got the boat limit in no time with one of them being a very nice size which was taken on bait. after all the dhuis it quitened down again with a few sambos around, we decided to try shallower water but we had no success their either so we decided to head back at around 11am...everyone was pretty tired by then anyway as everyone got a good number of fish. all in all it was a great day, cant wait to head back out with him, cant reccommend anyone else besides him..great bloke .
