hook'm Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 (edited) 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 Jason Edited April 4, 2008 by Hook'm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james7 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 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 Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
