Super Deep Fish!
With Mondays forecast looking doable for offshore and my cousin being very keen for a Super Deep fish (hasn't ticked them off the bucket list) I had to go lol
My cousin James Jordan (Jimmy) was keen to get his first super deep species and I said the seabreeze will come in early so drop baits (normally I would jig)
On the way out I pulled my pots and got a few crays then off to Super Deep. On searching around I found a school of blue-eye trevalla and down went the baits. It wasnt long before Jimmy got a hookup and after a good manual fight Jimmy landed his first blue-eye trevalla!
I wasn't going to drop as I wanted Jimmy to get his fish (my job is done) and head in so I can have a swim in my pool as it certainly was a scorcher. Jimmy said common have a drop ... okay .... I dropped and got into more blue-eye trevalla's (similar size)
I left that school and Jimmy said your looking for bass eh? I said yep .... you need to tick that off your super deep bucket list. I found a school and I said that's bass due to the way they sit & density etc (different to blue-eye) and after drifting over the fish I said mmhhh okay? .... you should of got a fish?!?! ... within seconds Jimmy said yep I'm getting a bite and he was on!
I told him bass fight really hard and he found that out ha ha .... a long manual hard wind up but made easier with my new super deep rod which is the Jignesis X-Predator PE5-10. My cousin was impressed with the fight and how the rod performed. The rod is grunty and parabolic > parabolic being its bends all the way through the blank and puts the pressure back on the fish and less on the angler!
Jimmy landed a solid bass groper and weighed in at 26kg plus .... Jimmy had landed his 2 first's and PB's and that made his day and mine!
If your wanting to know more about super deep fishing ie rigs, baits, reels, rods, braid, super deep jigs, Esca lights or what to look for my shop & staff " Specialize " in this and happy to help!
We bagged out and well done Jimmy on getting your target species and your first's 
..... cheers Ryan Thipthorp

Two very nice fish
Big eye trevela, looks like you gave it a black eye,lol.
I can certainly see how they got their name, when you can see a school of fish on the sounder and nominate what sort of fish they are that's pretty good.

"Jimmy catches a Blue eye"
"Jimmy scores......"

Absolutely amazing to watch
Absolutely amazing to watch you Ryan in action, the knowledge of your sounder and fishing ability demonstrates the fact of how many hours-days-weeks-years you have been on the water and completed the hard yards... Super Deep fishing is pretty hardcore that's for sure, after first 100m of fighting the big Bass I was hoping it would become easier, not the case lol.... Great day great company and learned heaps..... Cheers
Cheers,
Jim Jordan

Nice
Congrats Jimmy, back breaking bass. Worth every ounce of pain on the plate though. Nice work Ryan, certainly makes all the difference having a skipper that knows what's going on.
