Great day off Cape Nat

Headed out for a fish yesterday. First drop for the day resulted in a nice dhuy for myself. As the goal for the day was to fish some deeper water we decided to move on. Next spot produced a couple more dhuys. One male and one female. The female was in better shape so it went back. As the wind died we headed out further. After a bit of sounding around and some good advice from fellow fish wrecked member, managed to find some nice pinkies(Cheers Jeff). With a great feed in the esky and the day still reasonable early I decided to try a spot on the way in that occasionally has good numbers of sambos. When we reached the spot the sounder was showing a massive school of fish above a ledge. Had to be sambos. On with the jigs and down we went. Didnt even get to the bottom and I was smashed. The first drift resulted in a triple hook up of sambos, all three boated and released. The next couple of hours was crazy with serveral more multiple hook ups.  Had a mate from South OZ with us who had never caught a sambo. He was stoked, couldn't believe how hard they pull. I was also happy that I got to christen my new JM Power Spell rod. Wow, great little rod. After a long day it was time to head home.

Cheers

Brendan
