Gday All,

Apologies for the long report - its been awhile - So its been a few months since we had been out for a fish, but have been out 2 times in the last 2 weeks to cure the itch, we decided to try a couple of new areas and with assistance from Gunner (FW) member we have found a couple or cracker spots. I FINALLY out fished the decky, after numerous beltings over the last 18 months, bought pints on lost bets im finally on the score boad which is about 25 - 1

First trip out

headed out on Saturday into the 40s with nothing much showing and the weather predicted to be great we headed out wider, it seemed the further we got ou the better it was, was unbelievable how calm it was out there. So after about an hour of searching and time hitting about 9.30am with not even a drop i decided to pass the wheel to Browny (the prk is blessed with arse and 6th sense to find fish), he makes a massive turn and about 2 mins later, bang the sounder lights up with ground you could only dream of (hes done it again, was just shaking my head), now nicknamed the caves, this place was loaded with fish. we went on to find a few more of these and marked about 7 spots.

So first drop the jigs went down, wack they barely hit the bottom and we were both onto big dhuies, trademark couple of runs feeling every move the big tails made, ping i hear browny cursing, then mine pings 2 minutes late, geez we were dark, thought we had done enough to get them about 30 metres of the bottom.

dropped mine back down quickly and i got wacked by a pinky - so first fish landed and beer oclock.

2nd drift - again jigs barely hitting the bottom im onto another decent fish, nothing like the last one but after a good tussle, the line started moving out and up popped a nice 9kg dhuie, great startm hi fives another beer and around we go again....

3rd drift - Wack we are both on double hook up of dhuies - great feeling, up pop a pigeon pair of 6kg dhuies, straight back down, hooked up to a BA, the bite was certaintly on, only problem was we had 1 to many dhuies and with the eyes blown out there was no chance of revival - so instead of wasting the fish we dropped it off to a couple of punters on the way in, was a good feeling as they had caught nothing all day, and saved there skins at home with the mrs :).

We basically bagged out within 3 drifts and was now 11am - so we decided to search around and plug a few more spots in, couple of more drifts past a few spots with double hook up of 6-8kg dhuies we called it time to go, fortunatly they all released well. We left them on the chew and with only half our spots dropped on -  we cant wait to try the rest out next time, we ended up landing over 10 dhues, pinky and BA for the day.

nice school - one of many we drifted over
