PB Dhu and plenty of pinks
Havent posted in a while, have had trouble to on the computer with some out of date software, but all up to date now.
Had some great pinky fishing in recent times with some great numbers hitting the deck, even having 25 fish coming aboard in 2 sessions. Average size of about mid 80s and an equal PB of 94cm coming in at 11.6kg.
On the weekend headed out for a sambo jig on a spot that usually holds large numbers of big fish this time of year. Unfortunately was very quiet with only a small patch of fish holding off the lump and not interested in touching any jigs and plastics. I never head out there targeting sambos without grabbing a handful of livies on the way out because believe it or not they can be a tempermental bugger. So off with the plastics and replaced with a live herring pinned through the back on a jighead. We pulled hooks a few times due to the lazy rig, i usually like a snell setup with a large running ball sinker, but finally set the hook into a solid fish. Very average fight, couldnt decide whether it was a dhuie or a small sambo, then up popped this fatty.
New PB of 94cm.
Dont ever think your bait could be too big...
Quick call to fellow member Goodz to see if he was interested in popping in on his way home from work and taking this fish home, as long as he brought the head back the next day for my Dads soup!
We had one more drift and finally picked up what we came for, snaffling quite a large live skippy.
Cheers,
Beau.
