More Amberjacks
Well I got to join JohnF and his son Rob today for a possible barges assault if the conditions allowed, and they did.
We stopped in close while waiting for the wind to ease and tried for a few whiting with rob pulling in a couple nice ones on bait while I showed John how to do it with the plastics and landed my new PB flatty at 62cm. Also managed a few smaller ones, one of which spiked me 5 seperate times in 2 fingers and gave me some pain for the trip out to the barges.
As predicted the wind eased and we met up with Just1MoreCast near rotto and made it out there to find the SW charter roaming around with a few familiar faces on it. The hope for anything big soon disapeared after the first few small ambers came aboard so the PE2-3 gear was used all day. They were harder to entice today but we still managed 15 or so Amberjacks between us, with Johns son, Rob, landing his first jigged fish and showing us how it's done! Didn't find and of those bigger sambos that the SW charter got though.
All in all it was another great day out, Thanks John! Bring on the big sambos!!!

Flattie
Top flattie for Perth Metro. Great to see a young fella catching and releasing and catching fish on jig. The future is here.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.
