With the boat loaded on thursday night, we were ready for a early start to head up to jurien and get a good days fishing in, my 2 boys Troy & Blake and myself on my boat and my cousin Gav and Matt(fishing94) on Gavs boat.

we headed out of the marina at about 10am, little bit lumpy, but with the forecast saying it was going to drop, we continued on, we hit the wreck first up to have a play with the sambos and they did not dissapoint, not huge like last time but good enough for some fun.

all sorts coming over the side, sambos, amberjacks,mullas,pinkys and a suprise for me on a fanky was this little cobia, went 70cm and was the first cobia ever for me so its a new pb!

the winds started to play the game and drop off, so we headed out deeper to the 50's, from the first drop it was on, with fish coming over the side on every drop, more sambos, baldys,pinkys,dhuys,redthroats and proberly some i have forgotton.

just on my boat alone we got 18+ dhuys, being we have a 60cm+ to keep they all went back bar one, but half were size.

by now its getting quite late and i said to the boys...last drop and were going!!  thankgod for that last drop because troy hooks up big time on the pe3 monster mesh with the 5000 stradic, this thing was making huge,long,powerfull runs and we are all calling it for a big sambo.

5 mins in troy is winning the fight and getting some line back on the nearly spooled 5000, then to our supprize this fat, 1mtr dhuy pops up and its yelling and screaming times allround

stoked!! new pb for troy at what we were calling 18-20kg and just over the 1mtr mark..

we went back in happy chappys with a good haul of fish for our bag to meet up with Karl(crushed) and his crew who had arrived for a late bash.

Saturday was going to be the big day with some more fellow members showing up, Luke(fishon570) in his new 680 bar crusher(weapon of a boat and bloody quick too) Jeffery and there mate, we will call him chucky for now!!...lol

Gav and myself headed out to the 50's, the other boys went there own way and by 10am we had bagged out on dhu's,pinks and baldys(i forgot the camera so no pics for sat) but again plenty of dhu's,pinks and baldys coming up.

to early to call it a day, so it was catch and release for the rest of the day for us.

back at the camp with all the boys and some of us took a liking to the bourbons, especially Lukes deckie!!

sunday morn it was a early start with us all going the same way to have a play with the sambos again, i had more fun listening to Lukes deckie throwing his ring up from the word go...sounded like a dirt bike at full noise (thanks for the laugh guys)

it was very quiet on sunday compaired to friday/saturday and taking jefferys advice we all put the bait away for about 30mins and persited with the jigs.

Troy hooks up a couple of sambos and blake and I were at 0, so to jeffs dissapointment we were back on the bait... first drop for Blake and he gets his PB pinky 70cm

second drop for Blake results in his new PB sambo at just over a mtr and give him a bit of a work out.

then i get a nice 1mtr sambo as well

there was a few more sambos and ambers pulled up until the boltcutters moved in, so it was time to try somewhere else.

we tried a few spots on the way back in with nothing but boltcutters everywhere, Blake even got a double header, so that was it and we called it a day, back at the ramp by 11am ready to pack up and head home.

all in all a great weekend for our boat, bagging out friday and saturday with many more fish released.

great to meet Luke, Jeffery(get some bait out jeff and put them jigs away mate) and there mate chucky, made it for a enjoyable time guys and we will have to do it again.

i hope chuckys felling a bit better now, 80%turkey-20%coke will do it to anyone!!

didnt get alot of pics as it was allways busy with fish coming over the side on every drop, we come home with plenty of kilos of fillets and makes the frezzer look good.

cheers
