Two Days In jurien

Hey all

 

Well we had our second Tackle HQ Jigging Tutorial day on Friday the 10th, The weather was looking very good for the thursday so I decided to go up a day early and have a bit of a fish with Whitey. Fishing was great the thrusday with over 20 Dhu Bangers coming over the side, there was only three of us jigging and 6 bait fishing, the jigs outfished bait yet again. I managed to FINALLY nail a dhuie over 10kg pretty much straight away in the morning, it pulled the scales to 15kg and put up a great fight.

The jigging tutorial day was a bit slower then the day before with the fishing really shutdown. It wasn't qauntity but its was ll about the Quality of the fish!! Nearly all of the fish that came over the side were of decent size. Whitey lost a HUGE fish that he was fighting for a good 5mins before it brought him into the reef. Quite a few of the blokes had never caught a fish on a jig before, the most memorable capture was Craigs 12kg dhuie that nailed his Flashing haoli, he was soo stoked to land and extremely lucky because the hook pulled when the fish was 5mts under the water, thanks to whitey's quick thinking he repositioned the boat and I netted the fish thankfully.

 

Anyway here's a few pics from the 2 days.

If you are interested in coming along to one of our Tackle HQ Tutorial days send me an email.
