NEW JIGGERS AND A GOOD CATCH

Today's jiggers were a new group formed by Peter, conditions started off bad but improved throughout the day, it's been hard to fit a charter in with the weather conditions. Again we fished in 80m east of Sydney and after finding the fish and the right drift hook ups started.It wasn't long before the fish were in a feeding frenzy and triple hook-ups all day! The fish were all in the 75 - 85cm range with the odd 8kg fish. Bag limits were reached and fish thrown back all day!

Non stop kingfish action

Today's charter was a late decision with the crew only finalised late the night before and what a day it turned out to be! There was a break in the weather with the westerly winds finally forecasted to ease for the day. We were one down so I took the oportunity to have a jig myself.

We fished the water 80m deep off Marouba and it wasn't long before the fish were found.Single hookups at first progressed to triples and at times everyone was on a fish. Bag limits were quickly reached and fish were constantly returned to fight another day,all
up over 100 fish were caught. The size of the fish was down with most in the 75-85 cm range, with the biggest fish being caught by myself going 97 cm. The fish were in a hungry mood and all types of jigs were quickly consumed and I pulled out my special spanner jig to show you don't have to spend money on fancy jigs!

My two new jiggers were completely worn out and happy with the days catch, hopefully the arms will recover to jig another day. The best jigger on the day was our lady jigger Deborah who had a personal best catch of 21 kingfish. We also jigged up 3 bonito and 5 barracuda.
