A couple of mates and i were planning on getting a little jiggy on Tuesday and Wednesday after we saw the forecast the gear was packed and we headed over to Rotto early Tuesday morning hoping the weather would play ball. Unfortunately it didn’t and the 20kn SW made things a bit uncomfortable, we decided to head north to try and gain refuge which didn’t seem to make much difference. We spent a few hours looking for ground and were close to retiring early when a bit of nice ground popped up. My Eupro jig had hardly hit the bottom before it got smash by a good fish, I lost this fish soon after due to a assist giving out but I was fairly sure it was a nice dhu and next drop resulted in another instant hookup and I managed to land my first Dhu on Jig.

I landed 3 more dhues and my mates using bait couldn’t get a touch besides this nice snapper. We decided to head in and get settled for the night.

We awoke to a beautiful morning with no wind and were soon out in the ocean heading for the deep. First stop was the barge and after the first three fish got sharked we decided to move on and not long after had the jigs bouncing over some likely looking territory. First drop resulted in a sambo and a monster bronzy which had us worried there were more around but that was the last run in with the men in grey. We lost count but we ended up with around 20 odd sambos, 5 pinks and couple of ambers for the day when we decided to head in for the trip home in perfect conditions.
