Stoked

 Gday thought i should post something as im always on the site checking out the forums but dont really post much,headed out sat from peron with the perfect weather forecasted hoping to head out wide to some spots in the 90s but had a few engine problems on way out so decided to stay in bit closer around the 40s.Tried a few spots and only getting sgt bakers ,sized queen snapper,  couple sambos then found a lump two short drifts two sized dhuies kept 1. Using bait on the two previous drifts third drift tried a caprice jig and hooked something we called it a sambo the way it was fighting then when this dhuie surfuced i was over the moon couldnt believe it and to catch it on a jig topped it off.It went 108cm my previous biggest went 88 so yeah stoked .Headed in and back at ramp by 1230 thanks for reading cheers Nick.

 Cheers for all the comments

 Cheers for all the comments fellas ive only only ever wanted to catch 1 big dhuie just 1 but after that im hooked and all my biggest fish have come on jigs/placcys so going to jig alot more now.

 Pauldarie its a t curve with a diawa seagate 40 running 40pnd braid was actually a brand new reel and it went pretty good.

 Brock O Yeah mate  i was pretty frustrated when my engine alarm came on every 15min and i couldnt figure out what was wrong watching all the boats going past but a bad day can turn to a great day in one drift,got the mech coming tomorow so hopefully something small.
