shallow water sambo ground
Submitted by grayzeee on Tue, 2012-08-14 10:16
Hey guys
I've haven't had much shallowish water sambo action to speak of , and am interested to know if there's anything special about ground you find them over.
I tend to avoid the large lumps marked on the charts. Is that where I'm going wrong?
I'm talking about fishing inside of d bank but out further than 3 mile. , and not anchor and burleying.
Love to get into some, whilst not feeding the sharks.
Cheers

only mothers love um!
My only advise , for what its worth is to tell your mates, deckies, mrs
etc that your going fishing for dhus , pinkies , or dare I say maybe a baldie or 2 for the barbie tonight
This in my experence , will absoluty plague your fine vessel with no end of
sambo action.
The buggers will infest every area you fish , hard ground , sand , coral , doesnt matter
shallow , deep , no difference .
At the end of the day , you will be sore, have no edible fish for that empty, cold bbq
and will be willing a nw blowie to hook up , just to break the monotmy.
ENJOY!

This time fo the year there
This time fo the year there is plenty SAMSON fish in real close, inside the three mile, sometimes only a kilometre off the beach.
Just anchor and burley up. The sharks don't seem to be as prolific this time the year right inshore.
If you are in 10 metres of water and someone hooks one, chuck a popper out to catch the followers.

I was plagued by them once
I was plagued by them once at mewstone . I was chasing tailor actually and had bagged out,so we were just fishing catch n release. Then a small school of BIG sambos showed up then the fun really started .... Couldn't land a tailor without 4 or 5 sambos smashing them at the surface, about 4 or 5 meters from the boat !!!
Unforgettable arvo !!!

Hi Grayzeee We have been
Hi Grayzeee
We have been getting our shallow sambos in 3 spots around the rotto area. One is a reasonble lump, but still not on the Navionics charts, the other two are only little bumps that you really would not think of twice even if you sounded over them (only reason we stopedd is we saw the mid water action), and we tend to get the sambos quite a way off on what could only be descibed as mud/sand bottom. I have no idea why they are there, but they consistently come back to the same spot around this time of year. They tend to migrate to the larger lump a bit later and then out to the barges, but with all the sharks and idiots feeding them, I susepct the sambos will not be as thick on the wrecks as they once were.
Give me a yell if ya wanna go out for a shallow sambo jig, I will stick a few of the spots on my iphone and trade you for a run in your boat.
Cheers
