Thought I would post up a report from a trip out of Mindaire yesterday.

Conditions were nice once the reef lines were negotiated, there were some big breaklers due to the size of the swell.

Fished in 30-40 m for little result  apart from a batch of Sgt Bakers, "Scorpion fish" and an undersized Pinkie. Dropped a couple of nice fish, interestingly they both hooked up on the small hook on the bottom dropper.

Ended up anchoring on a patch and continued with assorted bottom fish of no real value. I ended up putting on one of the Taikabura jigs and then "magic" caught 6 fish in six drops with the jig. Ended up keeping 1 x baldie, 1 x pinkie, 1 x Harlequin, 1 x Queenie and a huge cuttle fish. They were all taken on the jig, my deckie fishing with bait just kept the stingrays busy. I was amazed by how effective the jig was.

Anyone else had similar success with the Taikabura jig? I was using the Ockta type in the pink/white colour.

p.s. Does any one have a picture of a Foxfish they could post, I reckon we might have got one of these as well but we were unsure so threw it back.

Cheers Steve
