No crays but some nice fillets.

Got this 19kg Dhu yesterday morning after pulling the pots. In about 15m off Scarborough.

Bait and back home photo. You're slipping Brody, haha.

 

Bloody awesome sized dhuie though, especially for so close! A reminder that the big boys still come in close some times. We're you targetting them or surprise capture?

Yeah it was a spur of the moment thing, so had no ice for the fish and no camera. So shot home got it on ice for a few hours, few shots and slabbed it.

 

I enjoy fishing with bait just as much as jigs/plastics Matt, i'd prefer to pick up more kg's and baldies to be honest so i'm enjoying fishing with bait more lately.

 

Thanks Pete, how deep are you still getting whites?

25 metres yesterday, but south of Rotto.  None seen on first dive - 5nm NW West End Rotto in 40 metres - doh!  Got some nice underwater footage though.

Spur of the moment fish - even better!

Awesome fish Brody. To catch

Tue, 2010-12-28 20:13

Awesome fish Brody. To catch a 19kg Dhuie is definitely something special, but in 15m's of water off Scarborough, that's something else. Well done!

Fisherman is one that changes from one outfit to another depending on the conditions.

Good catch on the squid Brody,

Sometimes you just have to let the plastics go.
