Went out very early today to beat the forescast sea breeze...it did come, just very late, so was a magic day on the water.

Jigged all morning and with great demersal shows, but almost no takers bar an undersized dhu and a few odds and sods. So we hit an area in the 40's where we had been blown away a few weeks ago and yup..........a few bruisers about again.

Pretty well straight away, we had a three way hook-up on PE2, the sound of squeeling drags filling the otherwise still and humid air. After a few minutes I got toasted on PE2, the sambo was just a bit feisty and bricked me, and the other two boys were not looking that good with more line going out than in......

TimVB got his in first, whilst Troy (a jigging newcomer) was having a ball on my young blokes Salty Fighter and Daiwa Tierra 3000 light jig outfit. 

 Troy got his in, an excellent first up jig effort on light gear, but Troy has done a lot of game fishing so eqited himself well.

We moved to PE3 and knocked over a few more each for a great fun session, then decided to have a troll with some skirts as there was a bit of bait on the sounder. Within 10minutes, strike, and then the fish started jumping like crazy........MAHI MAHI........ Only a little model but my first Metro dolly and within 15 km of Perth. Tim has the photos, will post later.

We continued to troll all the way back to the Marina, and hit 6 striped tuna, that went VERY hard on light gear, landed 4, all released (photos to come). We had two doble headers, one was special where we got a surface strike on shotgun PE2 on one of the skirts which was floating on the surface while we were clearing the other rods after the short PE3 line got hit........the poor Tierra 3000 squeeled in protest, and after several good runs the little reel could not keep up and the tuna spat the hooks. GREAT fun, man do the stripeys go hard. 

Anyhow, slow day demeral jigging, saved by some shallow water sambo and Metro troll action. 

Thanks to deckies for the day Tim and Troy for a fun day. Daz, bad luck dude on missing out, next time, a little less speed n the WRX STI on the way to the marina!
