Home early with a feed.
Went out off Rockingham this morning at 7am and this was our first spot.
Had a couple of massive hookups that I reckon were real good dhuies but kept pulling hooks on the bastards, I gotta remember to settle down and take it easy when using the 80lb gear.
On about our third drift after working out the current and wind we got our first dhuie of about 5kg, then I got one very similar in size. After about our 5th drift we had a double hookup for two more dhuies, and there's our bag limit with a score of 2 all.
So off we go into the sound for a few squid and maybe a whiting or two, but I had so much fun with the squid we never bothered chucking any baits out, a few small cuttlefish and about 15 squid later we called it a day.
The days catch.
Hope you enjoyed the report.

No fish caught on jigs
No fish caught on jigs today, didnt really get a chance to use it, probably lucky as the hooks are crap anyway
The rod with the Stella 8000 is a PE6 Blue Rose, it's a magic bit of gear but I was also using Stella 20000 on a PE8 Blue Rose and think the latter is what the fish were caught on.
Yeah found a few good spots now and finding more every time, isolated lumps between a lot of barren ground has been kind to us.
I owe GoatRutar a few beers for the info on the squid, it proved to be spot on, cheers matt your a ledgend.
