Jigged blue groper
Submitted by Patto 1 on Sat, 2012-12-22 21:21
got out to day to try out my new jigging rod that i picked up recently from Dusborough outdoor sports thanks to the help of Dave , and managed to land a Blue groper on my first drop off the day .
Wasnt the biggest ive seen but pritty happy to nail it on a jig and christen my new rod and reel . Ended up with a few small Dhu that went back and a crazy session on sambos.

Nice fish. I caught a big blue on an octo jig on the south coast a while back, was pretty surprised when he surfaced, didn't think they would take jigs.
