Sunday arvo fish

Headed out from Mindarie at about 1 to try our luck on the jigs, was feeling pretty rough as had been at a mate's wedding the night before and the 3m+ swell wasn't helping...

One lucky bugger managed to jig up a 6.5kg (gutted) southern bluefin, then we moved on as no-one else had even had a touch. Next spot produced a 49cm Dhu, caught fairly shallow so released without a problem. We tried one more spot which was looking like a dud, then on the last drift I got my first size Dhu - only 54cm/3kg but a start! Was getting towards the end of the day so we headed to a spot in 30m that has been good before. First drift produced a 69cm pinky and a few undersize ones so we decided to stick around for a bit. The next drift and we were on again, and after getting out of a tangle that could have lost the fish a 79cm/5.5kg (gutted) pinky was on board. All up the best day we've had for a while.
