Lots off dhuies around

Headed out with Jody and Jesse for a fish as we haven't hit the local spots much with all the diving of late .So after hearing so good reports we headed out to some ground I don't normally fish and bugger me the fish were there in numbers with our bag reached early on in the day .1x13 kg dhuie 10kgDhuie three baldies and a nice sized snapper.We tagged and released ten dhuies up to 11kg and all in great condition. With the release weight only being used once.One dhuie had a tag in it from some time ago as it was covered in weed .We retaged and released .Will post the info on the fish once i know .will be intresting to see where it has come from and how much it has grown.the second pic shows the tag we aso taged snapper and blackass.Jesse got the bigest on a plastic .A great day out and with the rest of the week off im sure some more tags will be finding there way into some fish

Paul, looks like the weather played its part and a good day had by all.

I guess the time and effort put in over the years pays off from time to time, and yes the info on the dhues would be very interesting.

good report thanks for sharing.

good report

Sun, 2011-05-01 20:19

good report there paul, i would beg to differ from what the others may have said , the amount of work you put in each weekend trying new spots is what pays off in the long run, well done guys you have hit a spot the may have not been hammered to date, we shot out for two dives today and were amazed when in shallow ground that we had two  small jewies watching us trying for crays , it was possible the first time i have seen them whilst diving

well done Paul. I caught 2 tagged Dhuies late last year & released & reported both. Haven't heard anything yet & it's more than half a year down the track. Perhaps I should follow them up.
