Shallow water sambos
Checked the wrecks this morning early to find literally no activity. I dropped down quite a few times for naught. But managed a nice 60cm pink on jig, for anyone else that knows me ive tried to get a decent pink off the wrecks for ages. I was pretty stoked and swam off so strong. After that checked in total 6 other wrecks for no activity at all.
Lately myself and a few others members have found the sambos have been in shallow around the 30-50m mark. Checked a spot i knew and bang 1st drop i was on. They just got bigger and bigger, as ive found in previous times too. They start off smallish and then get bigger as they all get excited. Unfortunately the 2 guys i went out with couldnt get into them even after i stopped fishing and tried to hover over the top of them. After about an hour they completely shut off despite still being all over the sounder. All my fish caught on my pe 3 saltist/demonblood setup. Brought out my saltiga but they ran away:(
Would like to thank Rob for taking me out on his boat, i had fun mate and hopefully next time can get you onto one of those bigger units. They day was finished off nicely with many whales mainly mother and calf just tail flapping and rolling around like no worry in the world. Weather was perfect.
Few pics of the day(blackberry mobile sorry) with one pic of DazSam on a pretty nice boston whaler hooked up on the bow in the rain with crew John F and another fisho(sorry not sure who you were, but i envy your boat haha).
