Monday Bash
Quick call to my sister on Sunday secured her better half as deckie bitch for a gentleman's hours start on Monday. Plan was to scout some new ground around some promising marks from a while ago, told Ben no bait its jigs and plastics.
Bit of wind in the morning had a quickish drift so on went a Shab in pilch for the first marks of the day in 30m which produced a little baldie for me.
Was fairly slow going in the morning but it was really starting to glass off so we headed out further to some marks that have lots little lumps and ledges dotted around. I picked a nice lizard that went 65cm on the lucanus that was sitting out the back, think I practically dropped the jig right on his head! Ben had snuck some squid aboard and was jack of the jigs so he sent down some tentacles and pulled a ripper 60cm KG on deck. He had a smile that wouldn't be wiped with a hammer, should of confiscated the fish for such sneakiness.
Really glassed off at the end of the day, perfect conditions and got what I came for in new marks. Lots of smallish pinks and a dhuie came on and was sent back down on the weight. The action started to heat up as the sun was dipping and we lost a few unseens on the light gear but managed a decent baldie myself with Ben bringing up a lovely looking queenie.
Can't wait to get out there on a southerly drift

Jigs
Baldie on jig is a good capture. Don't see that too often.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

nice day out Lamby, love the "no bait" rule but for KG's like that i reckon it can be relaxed a little.
Did the queenie come on a jig too?
Good old metro has been firing lately, can't wait to get home.

No mate lost him to the
No mate lost him to the squid following his KG, jealousy was kicking in there would of loved to confiscate the fillets off that puppy. Metro certainly seems to be firing, hopefully the pinkies get really turned on after this front comes through on thursday.
