After last weeks shallow sambo sesh which left me and Tim shaking at the knees, Daz was keen to get in the action so the three of us set off from Hillarys this morning.

After a quick try for a KG in the shallows waiting for the easterlies to die down (fail) we headed off to the same 35 m spot as last week. After 3 drifts, not much action on the sounder and no hits......dam!

Moved about 2 km to my other shallow sambo spot in 38m that me and Chrisp had done well on last year, and bingo, the sounder lit up, although the sambos were sitting close to the bottom. The drag on all 3 Stella 8000PG's were done up nice and tight, no stuffing about this time, gimble belts were mandatory.......drop down, and it was non stop action for the next few hours, with about 14 sambos boated between us and many other lost due to a combination of being bricked, straightned split rings and snapped leaders due to the excessive drag we had to run to stop these critters in the shallow. 

All fish were good size for shallow water, average size was like this one of Tim's.

A few were bigger, Daz landed the biggest.

I only got snaps on my iphone of these two fish, I was too busy catching fish.........Tim has some better shots on his speccy camera he took out, I am sure he will post a few up. 

After we had enough and the arms were sore, we moved back to the first spot in 35m to check it out, and straight away the sounder lit up and it was on again!!!!!!

Tripple hookup had us all squeeling like school girls, but it ended badly for the other two boys, both being bricked...hahaha. Tim lost a total of 4 very expensive jigs, Daz 2, me 1..........the boys did a lot of re rigging.....

Great to finally have a couple of reliable shallow sambo spots. Had another cracking day, the back is feeling it now!

Cheers
