Southwest bliss
Finally got out for a fish off Bunbury over the weekend and managed to tick off a big bucket list fish.
First off while exploring some new ground we found a nice dense school so down went the jig and 5 quick drifts later we had boated an 800mm dhu and 3 pinkies. Also dropped 2 good fish which i suspect were also pinkies. Seafloor control gawky 130g in orange doing the damage.
On the way home i put out a daisy chain/flashing teaser with a richter soft grassy 93/lumo and x-rap magnum 20 (favourite macky colour). About 20mins later the x-rap got nailed and after a quick blistering run i had finally boated a SBT off Bunbury. Ive been chasing them for a while now so i was absolutely stoked! Estimated to be about 4.5-5kg.
Went back on Sunday to see if the school was still there and indeed it was. I wouldnt usually fish the same spot 2 days in a row but i had a mate with me who had never caught a decent fish before. Had a quick fish and he managed to catch a 750mm dhu and 540mm pinky. Sure was a good day out putting a mate onto his first dhu and pinky in the same session.
Cheers

Top Job
Cracked your mates cherry and got the tuna to boot. Nice brace of pinkies also. My freezer is empty of pinkie atm as i have not got one for months.
Sometimes when the water is quiet, you can hear the fish laughing at you !

Pinkies
Cheers guys.
The pinkies definitely keep their colour and blue spots better when they are iki jimi spiked and then iced.
