Two Rocks report 12/01/12

Well me and duffy decided to head out off two rocks today in search of some demersal fish that would be willing to eat our jigs. The weather was awesome today and we were able to sit on 30knts the whole way out to the spots. Although Fishing was quite first off in the morning Duffy managed to land a nice size baldy which put up a great fight on his new saltiga 4000. We pursisted throughout the morning picking the odd fish up here and there, I began to think we weren't going to have a very productive day. I decided to push north and hit a ledge up that I had had good success on early last year. It produced the goods with plenty of fish coming over the side, the ground was full of lumps and the fish were hanging on the edge's of the lumps.

We noticed a trend today with the jigs, we got alot more hits when using the Pirate assist hooks which made a big difference today

anyway here's a few pics of the day

we caught 10 dhuies and 4 baldies all on jigs today

 

gear used:

Saltiga 62s

Saltiga 4000 (PE3 braid)

Fisherman anderman

Lamble Bait flashing haloi

Smith Mejiyume

All fish that we released went back fine except one baldie which we necked anyway

Well done Luke,I'm guessing the tide was running from the north ,this usually slows the fishing down .we will be out on the weekend for a go.

 Luke - you steal the pirate assists off the daiwa jigs or you make them up with your own assists and plastic squid? Can you get pre made pirate style assists in?

yeh tide was running from the north, had to use 150-180g jigs most of the day. Fish really turned on as soon as the SW came in.

 

I have ordered pirate assist's and they aren't too far away so I have been told, I think we have about 200 peices coming which probly won't last long

Good fish, and some great pics too

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

makes good sense to add the squid to the assist to excite tha baldies

I've had no luck on plain metal with them

well done
