JUST ANOTHER DHUIE UNDERWATER SHOT....oh and a few Sambos
Till, myself and a mate Brad headed out early last Friday in my Trophy from Two Rocks.
First stop was a few small lumps that I had found late last year in the low 40's. Jigs and bait went down on one spot.....one dhuie and lots of sambos came up.
With plenty of sambos playing the game, I decided to anchor over the spot and drop over the side on scuba. As Jamie hinted, the sambos went quiet on the jigs at anchor, so no footage of sambos chasing jigs was got
; also, the boat was not quiet over the little lump, so it was very hard for me to see the jig, especially with the low vis (8-10 metres).
Vis wasn't the best, hence the clarity of the video, but there was some great fish and cray life on this lump. The top was about 34 metres and the sand area (note the sambos using it for a back rub) was about 41 metres. The bigger Dhuies would be close to 20kg each which was a great site.

One of the bigger Sambo's landed and released:
We also had plenty of whales around for the day and believe Jamie lost a jig because of contact with one.
The downside of the day happened about 3nm away from the above spot. My GPS decided to do a system reboot on starting the engine
. Oh well, know what I'm doing for the next few months.....driving around to find new fishing, diving and squidding spots. I started this process straight away - headed back to where we thought that lump was and spent about 2 hours searching for it with no luck. We did how ever find another smaller lump and did a dive on that - Number 1 Co-ord in my system!. No video this time...typical; the sambos were even bigger.
SBT sashimi and a few cold ales completed the day.
Cheers Pete

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.

Top Stuff
Awesome Pete. Loved seeing those crays and big healthy dhues. You'll have to find that spot again once the season starts. Spewen about the GPS. If you ever needed a reason to put the boat on the water.......
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

sorry to hear about the GPS
sorry to hear about the GPS Pete, when Jamie told me I had a little minutes silence on your behalf.
I'll put my hand up if you're ever heading out for a "go and find new spots day".
And I can always give you back the spot where my net now sits, RIP.

Thanks for your thoughts
Thanks for your thoughts Tim.
I don't need a GPS for that spot, I can tell from the ripples on the surface
as I've dived there for 10+ years.
