Saturdays Catch
went out from Dawesville early saturday morning as this was the first time out for roughly three months in my boat to go dhuie hunting. last time out i found some new ground in the 30-40 mtr range which we did alright on. so i thought we would head there to start the day off. i brought along a new deckie who on his first drop landed a pinkie of 54cm then on his second drop another pinkie to 73cm. the new deckie also brought along a bacon and egg toastie for the skipper. the other regular deckies were soon put on notice that if they dont pull their weight they would soon be religated to standby deckies. after the two pinnkies the bite shut down so after shifting a couple of times to different spots with no luck i headed out a bit deep and to a spot that i havent fished for over a year. on our first drop there were two blue long lines going across the sounder. i commented there are my two dhuies for the boat. wouldnt you know it one of my regular deckies hooked up, then all hell broke loose with every one hooking up.
we ended up with five dhuies (one double header) on the deck within minutes with the biggest being around the 18kg mark and the rest from 5 to 13kg. three were released, two swam away and one had to be put on the release weight. after sorting out the fish we moved spots back in shallower and down sized our hooks trying for some kgs. we ended picking up a couple of whiskerys which was enough for all of us so we called it a day and headed in. probably another 3 months before i can get out again.

Whiskery
How do you rate the whiskerys on the plate? I kept one for a feed a while ago and didn't really rate it. Just release them now. Can't complain about them dhuies though.
