Got out to the 40's about 8am and just before getting to our marks we came across a set of pots, sounded through them and found some real good rocky lookin ground going from 41 then quickly up over around 34 then flattening out around 39 with occasional fish showing on the sounder. First drift and non-stop action. My brother and I are pretty much opposite in our fishing styles, he's right into demersal jigging on light gear and im a 80lb braid, 10/0 hook big big bait kind of reef basher. Gotta admit the jigs outfished bait about three to one. Over about 8 drifts through that area he kept hooking up on Dhuies and baldies each drift, a big arse breaksea cod and a few different reefies. I got dhuies and baldies as well but just not as many. I got a fast strong run from something big, drag had a good scream and it was gone bugger! felt big.  Most fish undersize and in the end he had a 55cm dhuie and nice baldie in the bag. Action slowed down after about an hour, bolt cutters moved in and took my 10/0 owners so we decided to go to our spot where ive got nice dhuies, pinkies and baldies a few weeks back in 43m.  Was a bit slow, a couple of undersize baldies and dhuies got jigged up, nothing on bait so we moved to another spot we found previouslydropping off fast from 32m to 39m. Second drift and I was on finally! Up came the 85cm dhuie pictured, i know they get alot bigger but i was stoked when that came over the side. Brother changed to soft plastic got a 64cm dhuie which of course had to be released, next drift he was onto something real big, after a minute or two fight it spat the hook. Was a great day with fish everywhere and was good to come home with a beer and flat ocean. Lookin forward to doing it again, looks like i might have to try this demersal jigging thing.
