I know I said we werent' going to go out there after our session last Sunday but the weather was too good and we wanted a few more baldies to take home with us.  Baldies didn't play the game, however, but the dhuies certainly did. First jig drop of the day resulted in a 62cm one, second jig drop got a little SBT. Those fish were on a 160gm tomman in a gold/black pattern...hlokk (Matt) saw it earlier this year and reckoned it was a copy of the Daiwa Sacrifice jig.

The boys were getting smallish snapper on bait while I switched over to an octo jig and got a scorpion fish, followed by about a 10kg dhufish. I was almost disappointed with this because we were struggling to get baldies...ended up with one small specimen at 43cm. My oldest boy managed a 50cm flattie on bait in the same area.

While the ground we were fishing was mainly flat coral plateaus, we did hit a proper lump in the northernmost area of my marks on the way home, hoping to load the jigger up on some sambos (Connor got a few on bait last Sunday there) but when I dropped another tomman, this one a purple/silver knife profile, instant dhufish again! This one went 70cm but had to go back as we already had two. All in all we landed four legal dhufish up to 10kg and probably another 3 or 4 undersized ones.

So concludes our Jurien trip...sorry no pics from this last session, I was frustrated at not being able to raise baldies and couldn't be bothered getting the camera out! If there was one thing I learned this time around is that metal jigs are fantastic and every chance I had to use them they outperformed bait in terms of quality of fish. I just wish I could find fish like this and get them on jigs off Mandurah!
