Saturday dhuies, new spot new jigs
Got out yesterday and managed a couple of nice dhuies off of a new spot we found. My mate using bait but myself with the jig. It was a very slow start for us, I hooked and dropped a suspected nice dhuie early on and then we didn't boat a fish until about 10am being a nice baldy. Decided to head out deeper to an old spot but on the way my decky spotted something on the sounder, so we back tracked and found a nice little lump with some fish hanging off of it. We both dropped down and instantly hooked up before we even hit the bottom. My usual go to dhuie jig is a samaki choona, but I picked up a couple of new cheap jigs I'd seen advertised on Facebook and gave them a go. They were only $9ea so wasn't expecting too much but they looked good in the photo so thought I'd give them a go. I was impressed with the finished and the shape when they came in the mail, and then playing with them on the water they had a nice slow flutter action, and needless to say the fish loved them! It's called a flat stinger from neap apparel and tackle. My decky finished off our bag for the day with a small pinky, bait out fished jigs today big time.
We we also plucked a few rat YTK's off of some cray ropes/floats, another good spotto from the decky. He is finally start to earn his keep haha

Do you usually run those
Do you usually run those settings on the 620 mate?
I have one also but curious if that how you usually run yours?
I have to run dual freq mostly because i get too much interference from the dingi hull, its annoying but dual is one way around it.

Yeah that's how I always run
Yeah that's how I always run it, don't really play around with it much. I'm pretty sure I got the settings off fishwrecked ages ago, so I set it up that way and have just left it like that. Works for me.
