Jigging The dhuies
Well woke up early to a nice cold morning with no wind around great rods in car bag packed im off to wades house to pick him up
Arrived at wade house at 5:00am hook the boat up and on we go
We arrived at our desternation after a 2 hour drive... gear in boat and in the water it go and off to our first spot...
On our way to the first spot wade seen something rise on the sounder hmm interesting had alook around and found fish so out came the plastic and metal jigs on we go first drop nothing then as wade kept jigging away i threw out the platic and "WHAM" on the drop after i nice fight and wade thinking it was a dhu he hooked up on the bottom he got his up to the boat Double header amber jacks me i had a rat sambo....
few more drops and after few more fights with sambos they just went off the chew so was time to move off we went to our next spot..........
Arrived to the next spot with fish on the sounder..............
few drops and we had nothing until i started to wind up and got hit mid water thinking to my self sambo or maybe shark. Waiting for it to bite off or pull the hook on to the surface it came nice fat and unreal shark mackrel. Could not belive it few happy photos and back in the water it went....
After that we had nothing come up so made the call to head back to the first spot...
Got back to our first spot and fish all over sounder once again thinking yes we should get something here plastics down and we got nothing at all.Wade decided to drop a metal jig down and straight away hooks up solid nice after a very great fight up came a very nice dhufish.... Thought why he plays around with that its my turn grab his rod drop the jig down and after a few jigs up and down i was on solid to a very nice dhufish got it all on the go pro so put mine back in the water to fight another day.....
We both put the jigs back down this time wade came up solid that is a better fish was a great fight and up came a nice 11kg dhufish....while he stuffed around i had came on strong with a solid hook up great fight on light gear up came another dhufish great we all ready bagged out on dhufish so this went back to fight another day... after have 4 fish in 4 drops we had a few more drifts for only few hits but nothing so called it quits and headed home
so all in all what a great day out and fish 25 to 35 meters off water in a 4.1meter dinghy just goes to show u dont always need a big boat..........
Cheers
