outdodad Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 (edited) Hi everyone , my first report with help from Dad (Offtap1) , went out with dad and his mate Joe as per the usual saturday, and headed for his favorite jigging spot off long reef, Livies were hard to come by today at our usual spot and with wind ok headed up to longie. Second drift past wreck dad noticed some activity on sounder and his instructions were to drop jigs, my jig barely made it to bottom and it got smashed , my new rod reel combo worked a treat and after a few hard runs my first king at 66 cm was boated. As per the norm the dive boats turned up and put a hold on our jig session for another day. We decided to give the bottom bashing a go , Dad got a 70cm Flattie and Joe scored a 45cm Samson fish (A surprise for us) as well as a couple of mowies and a few other reefie critters . Oh yeh Dad wanted to add a pic of his new TEAM OFFTAP shirts, we surely wont be missed at Flattie Social, see you all next week.

domza Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 nice kingy mate, and great report. I never even knew Samson fish were around Sydney? And next time don't stop jigging when the divers come, they go hard on the end of your line and count as more points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
