Shallow Sambos in Comfort
Me, Daz and Matt went out today for shakedown of Matt's new 285 Boston Whaler Conquest, complete with twin 225 Verado's......mmmmmm, nice tug!!!!!!
Headed to our shallow water Sambo spot in 40m......and it was red hot action from the get go. A fish a drop for a couple of hours, sore arms, sore backs and big smiles......MAN, those sambos go so much harder in shallow water!!!! A great day or catch and release.
After all 3 of use were comprehensively smoked on PE3 gear to start, out came the PE5 gear.......after a few rats, first on a good fish was me........after 5 seconds it became obvious things were not going well.....so the Stellas got cranked up to max drag, then another turn for good measure!
Then it was Daz's turn. He grabbed my Stella as he only had PE3 max (which was useless with these fish)...the old SEED getting a workout.
Then the Skipper got in on the action, afair bit of spool grabing on the 'gosa.
We continued like this for many more fish, and ended up snapping the butt of my SEED jigging rod, which made Daz's next capture that bit more difficult.....nice big fat boy....then it jizzed all over him.
With sore arms and the fish going mental, we decided to head out and check out the barges........DONT BOTHER......very few fish biting, we only got one hook-up fromm many drops, and it got hoovered by a shark, so we left immediaely. Sorry to say, the wrecks are going to be a no go zone this year....
We headed home, and checked out a mark in shallow water we saw on the way out with a good fish show. I quickly droped a jig down to check out what there were, and netted this nice flattie (dinner tonite....yum!) and then a solid dhu which was promptly release weighted back home, we plugged that spot in for 15 December, and headed hme in shear luxury in te awsome Boston Whaler Conquest.
GREAT DAY, thanks Matt!!!!

I tell ya what hotdogs, using right hand wind, jigging with a butt broken rod & jigging with a high speed 10000sw isn't fun. But fortunate John lent me his gear... otherwise I would have been sitting there tying knots in PE3 all day

some nice size fish there
some nice size fish there fellas, gotta like the old sambo to save the day. Pity about the barges though but when you've got a shallow spot like that it doesn't really matter

Couple of solid sambos there
Couple of solid sambos there guys. Love those sessions of non stop sambos. Found the River2Sea turkey slider to be a good cheap jig that works as good as any other.

Yeah seaquest, the old turkey
Yeah seaquest, the old turkey slider is a good cheapie. We used a 200g shout stay all day that ended up looking like a manky old sinker after numerous fish!
