Opening Day Dhuies

Headed out early Monday morning for the first fishing trip I have done in ages. Managed our two dhuies by 7am. Got to love this time of year when the dhuies are close in and in good numbers. Spent the rest of the morning jigging a few sambos and also managed to finish the bag off with a couple of snapper. Daves dhuie was a cracker to start the season off, caught on a smith jig. Day was spoilt a bit by a few outboard issues. Hopefully its nothing to serious and I can get back out there before xmas.

Depth was 42m but only 5kms

Depth was 42m but only 5kms off the cape.

Patto we weighed Daves fish on bathroom scales and it was 17kg. Not sure how accurate they would be.

Yeh Tim replaced the back seats with two of Extreme Daves 70lt cube eskies. Still have to carpet the inside of the ally to make them a snug fit.

And by 7? Normally that would mean a boring day fishing finishing so soon.

Also Nice Sponsors photo with the Extreme Eski's.
