A great morning on light gear
Went out from Hillarys in my little dinghy on Saturday, to a spot about 3 miles off MAAC. Put down the berley bucket and while I was putting a soft plastic on my jig, my deckie (can you have a deckie in a dinghy?) dropped over and immediately hooked a nice skippy of around 1 kilo. We caught a few more skippy until the sambos came to play. We hooked and released several of around 70-80cm. Good fun all the same. I then thought I should have a go with my 3 kilo whiting settup, using a 7 ft Strudwick rod. I immediately hooked up with either a large skippy or a small sambo and the Strudwick absolutely sh%t itself. Broke clean in half. Took out my spare whiting rod and hooked into something big. I caught my first ever metro dhu fish, and it was a keeper. I was one happy camper.
