LB sambos, Dirty water and a lot of fish. mid west magic

 finally back home from up north for a good few months so im straight back into it getting some good fish. 

 
went out wednesday morning to try for some tailor north of perth and failed so went up a bit further to try for something bigger, got to the spot and could see sambos swimming around in the shalllows so tried my best to tempt one on my new combo i had picked up but failed misserably with the 60lb gear and just got smoked, way to fast and 20kg+ fish in 2-3m of water around heavy structure just doesnt happen haha. got mad after spending 5 hours for bust off after bust off so i got the dive gear out and jumped in, about 20 fish up to 30kg+ cruising around coming in to have a look so i had a swim and picked off the smallest one i could find around 20kg, plenty of shak bait to use now!!
 
today i was lucky enough to get a spot on a boat freediving north again, water was dirty, fish where flighty but plentiful and all in 2-8m of water. i managed to bag out in about an hour with a pair of nice baldies while the others picked up dhuies, blackarse and more baldies before we where all at our limit. good few days and hope a lot more to come.

 One was on a stickbait the others on half mullet unweighted baits. Took a fair bit to tempt them to hit it each time.
