Quick 2 rocks report
Submitted by dant on Mon, 2014-05-05 07:44
Hi All,
not to much to report this week - headed out of two rocks first time in over a year - weather was not quite as predicted with the easterly up to 15 - 20 knots about 30kms out and a strong current to match made jigging life pretty hard.
as the weather eased a bit later the jigging got easier and we could finally get some feel for the bottom from about mid day onwards and started to pick up fish - ended up with a couple of dhuies few black ass (couple went back) one absolute cracker and a baldy. Found a load of new ground which was also a bonus.
Cheers All Dan

thats right Dirt - its the shape of the labo jig, you mean the jigging sports australia assists - quality assist hooks definately the best around, dont drop half as many as i used to.
