Pinkys & Big Johns Pinky!!
The forecast wasn't looking so nice last night but thought what the heck I'm going. My cousin Jimmy came for another run and it's amazing how things change each trip out on the pinkys!
Fish wise it was really quiet but I persisted and moved around a lot, on sundown I found a few fish and as soon as the anchor was set and baits in we were on!
We bagged out with some good fish landed, my cousin got two first > his PB pinky which I weighed at 8.3kg and after we bagged out he said can I pinch one of those new Big Johns jigs and have a quick go ..... I said go for it!
He used my flood lights to charge up the Big Johns banana jig and flicked it out. Jimmy said have you used these jigs before and I said I got my first inshore pinky on these jigs some 15 plus years ago but under a different manufacturer (no longer around)!
He said I've never got an inshore pinky Ryan and within seconds my cousin was on, after a good fight he landed his fish and he was so excited. This pinky nailed the jig hard, the jig was really stuck in the corner of the jaw but we got it out, quick pic and released it (healthy) as we bagged out!
Well done Jimmy of your 2 first's ..... awesome night mate ..... cheers
