Carn Shizzle, just one photo for good measures. We know it'll only take 2 cans to knock you over anyway, sure you can't spend 5 mins puttn a few up. ;))))

Hey Shizz so how much longer did you guys hang around after I left.I headed to the 5 fathom and it glassed of completely for about 45 mins wich was unreal conditions but no fish. so headed back in to get into the piss early. By the way my jig loss count ended up at 6. How many did you guys end up losing.

heh we got back at the ramp about 2.30 - 3 but we headed in just after 12 i think. BTW bouttime caught a tagged sambo , tag looked pretty new tho only a month or two old at a guess. I lost 2 jigs, mark lost 4, rob 1 and steve about 3 i think. 1 of mine and one of steves were due to mr sharki :P

Time to knock over those 2 cans. And no i cant as my digicam software aint installed :P

cheers guys

You PISS WEAK Shizza !! and still cant tie your knots right!! lol
Good thing you didnt loose anyfish when I bumped into you...lol
Got my mate out today in his tub for his first sambo assault. First fish for him was the biggest of the day.

yeah we had the biteys out there too lost heap of jiggs, even went to wire trace then had snaps failing on us. sorted that prob by upgrading to 450lp snaps and trace so there lil bitey teeth and miles away!

how many ya boat for the day? I stopped at 10 myself, obviously coulda gone more- not exactly a shortage of fish!- but didnt wanna push my luck :P Mark got 9, Rob about 7 and steve about 5.

We had a cruisy day and took it easy, another excuse was the lack of suitable sounder....Navman 4200 with fish icons cant really find fish.....

Has anyone actually eaten these samson fish? Dont listen to the rumours thay taste ok i kept one of tapouts smaller ones. As mine where all way to big, LOL, crap we went through some jigz ill tell yaz 100pound braided snap of i all most went over the side backwards after wacking my self in the face with the dam rod ther is some power in a 100pound braid shock load to break that Lotsa freyed trace wire,was a great day (TRY SMOKEN SAMSON ITS GOOD TUKER) even just fry it with salt youll be surprise. HAPPY NEW YEAR AND HAPPY FISHIN.
For best eating fish keep em under 18kgs and remember one is more than enough for your family,and the neighbours(thay dont freeze that good)

im trying not to sound stupid here ..... how far out are you guys going for the schooling sambo's ??
im in busselton so i have no idea about the area's your in but if they are not too far out (under 30mile) i might tow the boat up there if i can find a deckie that knows where they are going.
any help would be great as it looks like great fun for a w/e trip.

Gday Feral. There about 10km from the west end of rotto so its not that far out. From Woodmans point on a nice day we can get there in about 45mins. There in about 110m of water out there so braid is a must. If next weekend is fine then Im sure we will be heading out so your welcome to tag along if your keen. Otherwise pm me for the coordinates.

hmmm... rough guess from me is 24-27 nm from freo?
under an hour for most boats (6m or so) in decently average conditions.

Pump iron to drop iron!

Feral, its not really far at all as Tapout has mentioned. Give it a try and there's always plenty of people willing to be your deckie as some of us dont own boats but are keen jiggers.....hint hint.

thanks guys
might take me a little longer to get out there as my 25foot westy only cruises at 22kn/h.
if i manage to get up there i'll paste a post and take a few ppl out as ive heard you can fish just a few at a time and then swap and take a rest for 5 min.
anyway here's hoping :)

Its important to handle the sambo's with as much care as possible. Start by squashing the barb on the hook with plyers, it is less obrupt on the fish when removing the hook. (either bait hooks or gigs)
Keep the line tension up and you do not need the barb, always remove the barb for catch and release.
Make sure you put the fish on the deck on a wet towel (with sea water) to keep the natural "slime" on the fishes skin for its rehabilitation - do not drop it on the deck - place it as gently as possible.

As we all know if you are putting a fish back in the ocean do not touch the fishes gills, cradle the fish with your arms. Get your photos and have the fish back in less than 5 minutes. And this fish hopefully should be ok once back in the water.

I love my fishing and love to respect the ocean, CHEERS!

Good points Kyza! Very important info when doing the sambo jigging thing.

U guys are really into your jigging ay. Only tried it a few times got a small trout and a nice cobia.(see hedland brag board)
I know a few guys in town jig the channel pylons here and get a few queenies and stuff but never anything really hugh.Might have to give it more of a go. Any tips i need to know to land me a prize fish or is it pretty much try and see wat happens?

Thanks two bouttime for a great day out . It was a great day out if you get the chance to go out with him have fun i did thanks mate.

theres a few pics from yesterday, didnt bother takin many photos. Didnt get any pics of the bigger fish but was a great day out on the water.

cheers.

nice photos mate im sure it was the burley i supplied for you guyz that day lol,i want let a bit of sea sicknes get in the way of a good dayz fishen ha ,i wont complain its all good. HELL YEAH!!!

No wonder yuou caught ten Shizza, theyre all little pups, did they even pull drag? ;P Nice effort fellas, looks like good conditions out there too.

one or two did, but the stella did make short work of them heh. And they werent all pups, it was about 50-50. Only one floater(which was the biggest fish of the day) and we managed to revive him by swimming him behind the boat for a few minutes and he kicked off. Was a great day out there, lookin forward to goin again sometime soon.
