Nice report, although a little too much detail

Top fish though!

Gday fellow Raiders

went for a fish today

managed 8 squid .........hard hard going

decided on my spot for the morning

and the first fish was a nice 67 king(esky)

i then landed and released a 61 cm model(released)

then a 53 cm Amberjack(released)

Then these two came aboard(in the esky)

i was fighting what i thought was a nice Amberjack and a CLOSE

FoLLoWeR.... i was thinking how good the "follower" was at

matching the other ambers circling and so on,

I then realised as they came to the surface they were

both hooked on my twin hook rig i use for the live squid ,

A first for me ,they even look like a pair to me

I was gobsmacked

I then landed three more ambers(two kept 1 released)

Then caught a really healthy 68 cm king which i

thought was going to be at least 80cm by the way it fought lol

anyway it was sent back to grow a bit bigger

great morning,bloody freezing

squid seem to be getting scarce(fished out?)

i dont know but definately schools of Amberjack in

the Harbout ATM

Cheers All

Love the double hook up, well done

[james7]

Great report Jason! The double amberjack hook up is amazing. Well done!

That’s a great conversion rate for the squid you caught too. Did you only use squid?

It seems it was worth a cold early morning start.

Cheers

Yep only squid

the first king came in on some week old frozen squid from last outting

i didnt want to waste the fresh stuff on pickers

it was after that i sent down a livie and all hell broke loose

most of the ambers were caught on live squid

[Scon]

great report and well done , i have heard that small amberjack make for good eating, does anyone know what there eating quality is like in those size's, how would they compare to small samson fish of equal size which are good eating and taste good to??

[pacemode]

Well done mate - thats a nice cathch of fish.

Just wanted to say I got the same double hookup last weekend last week on 2 kings. Though dropped

one of them lifting thm out of the water. Hook snapped. Nice to see fish are still in good numbers!

Great to see amberjacks in the harbour. What a bonus with the double hookup.!!!

Certainly deserves bragging rights.
