Saturday Fishing - Sambo's
Well, what a day.. Back from down south and straight into the sambo jigging action.. An action packed day awaited us, first thing the trailer wheel decided to pack it in, 20 minutes later we were back in action.. On the way to rotto we saw heaps of baitballs and 2 hammerheads cruising around with absolute magic conditions.. Once out at the sambo grounds it was on for young and old with 20kg + fish being brought in and hooked up on constantly.. After landing a few monsters and losing a few jigs I tried some new ideas, mainly putting a hook on a sinker and jigging that, well, didn't take long at all.. we now have a substitute for losing jigs to the wreck all the time.. later in the day i also tried using a trolling skirt with a bit of weight on it to jig, no problemo, sambo's on skirts.. With them like they are out there at the moment, you can practically jig anything in front of them and hookup.. I have about 45 photos to go through, so will post some up soon..
Magic day on the water!!!

NIIIIIICE!
They dont get much mightier than that. Nice work. I have had similar days in the Pilbara with Spaniards. After bagging out we try to get a bait to the bottom chasing reds and trout but often find our lines weightless as a hungry Macks bash any thing that moves. Its not unusual to lose 10 rigs or more. I have yet to catch a sambo mainly through lack of trying (most of my Perth fishing was landbased) but when (if) I get the opportunity I will certainly look you up fro some tips. NIIIIICE!
