A quick solo jigging sesh
Hey all,
After seeing yesterday's forecast saying it was going to stay windy and then deciding not to go. Leah and i headed for a swim down at the beach and saw some flat ocean. Got me thinking today may do the same, woke up at 5am windy so went back to bed. Decided to head out at 11 for a jig as it was starting to slow down and thought there may be a window of nice conditions. Left the ramp at 11 and headed norwest, found 2 lumps in around 35m about 12 mile out. Did two drifts and nothing so pushed on...my mark to fish was still another 7mile away so i thought i may look around a few pots. Found a group of 3 and nothing but on the 3rd pot i did a figure 8 and found some good ground about 12metres away, stopped the boat and jig went down.....hits the bottom well what i thought was the bottom but it pulled...lost it then a couple of tugs later bang! Was somthing hefty and got me thinking sambo as it had the stradic screaming. 10mins later a pb dhuie pops up still kicking and had me hooting for a while. Bottomed out my 7kg scales but will weigh it before i clean it on my big scales
So drove out 40mins fished 40mins and drove back in 40mins.... Sweet lil 2 hour sesh and beat the major crowds as the ramps carpark was still chockos with trailers.
Stoked..
ps sorry bout the pics it was on self timer

Well done Sha. Nice solo
Well done Sha. Nice solo effort. Good to hear you also missed the mad ramp rush! Can only imagine how many boats would be trying to get in & out of the water.
