First dhu

Hey guys,

Thought i would put up a post on how we went today out from woodies point. Firstly i would like to thank the guys who replied to my post on sounder pics i put up recently, your comments and advice proved priceless today. We headed out from woodies point boat ramp at 6am and headed for a mark in the 40's that i had marked a couple of days prior but had not much luck on. On the way out to our waypoint i came across some interesting groung in 35m of water so decided to stop and have a few drifts, on the first couple of drifts we picked up a couple of undersize black arse which went back to fight another day. A few drifts later my deckie picked up this nice queen snapper

After a pic we also sent this back hoping to uprgrade to maybe a pinkie or dhufish ( fingers crossed ). Reset the drift and dropped the lines once again and BANG my deckie was on again! This time we were pleased to see not a huge but definatelty a size dhufish! The first dhufish we have caught so pretty stoked to say the least, It went 57cm and after a quick pic it was given the lights out treatment then into the icebox for dinner tonight.

After this things went quiet, so we continued out to our original destination but had bugger all luck. Thats when the call was made to head back into the sound and have a quick squidding session, after picking up 6 nice size squid it was off home to clean up and cook our much awaited dhufish

What a great way to end the day, fresh dhufish, chips, coleslaw and some gentlmans jacks to wash it all down! Thanks again for all the help guys, hopefully the fishing gets better from here on in.
