Big Dhu jigged on PE2
Submitted by JohnF on Sat, 2014-10-04 18:12
Best dhu for me for a while on jig. Went hard on my little PE2 outfit. Released to hopefully live and make more little dhuies, I try and release any over 800mm. We got 2 keepers in the 600's as well, perfect eating size.
Cracking day, we sat on 26-30 knots all day.

Unfortunately this was the one released. The hook had not penetrated the eyeball, and came out OK, but definitely not ideal. But it had more chance of survival with a sore eye swimming strongly down on the release weight than swimming in my ice-box......

Nice Dhu mate n
great to see it was released.. I also prefer to only keep them under 10kg as they are much nicer on the chew..
I've spent half my life fishing.. The other half I have wasted..

Great Work
John,
Yet to jig a Dhuie, caught them on plastics but not on jig.
Maybe need to persevere a bit more.
Nice release.

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.
