Kim and the boys were back from Singapore. These guys are hard out lure fishermen through and through, it was great to have a bunch of guys on for a few days of pure jigging and softbaiting, throw in some flyfishing as well.
These guys always come with a bunchy of jigs I haven't seen before, and I think neither have the fish. This one was the killer jig on Day one, John slayed a dozen or so fish on it, crazy stuff, Gray and Black copy of a Still jig
Trevs liked them too
One of stacks John got Day one on THAT jig
Mean Clastar 250 John was using as well
More carnage, this bleeder got kept for SNO to smoke up
Make that two for SNO, we got a bleeder, damn mako
Welcome to Jaspers world on Day one, things looked a bit like this
Jasper was luvin the comfy seats in the new Senator, 3m swell, 25 knots of wind and snoring
Kim was in charge of dinner, a long line of these for the Chef to cook up for our dinner
By now the fellas calling John funny names I couldn't understand
Auw, we found another hot jig now!
This sadly would be the last fish on the Hot jig
Saldy only one was packed for the trip, it got smoked first drop the next morning
Chuan with a warm up king Day Two
We got a new favourite now, Chuan loaded up on his JM 300 and PE7
Another jig caught fish, nice one too
Much to his mates disgust Jasper snuck out a livie
or two......
or threee......
His sweet lil softbait rig accounted for some nic snapper for dinner on the Berkley Gulp jigging grubs and deep water rigs
Sashimi!
x2!
Wooooah! Something a little bigger on softbait
After an epic fight on the light stuff, John nails a real nice king!
Out at Cobra Rock the next day, double first drop
Nice fish for Cobra
Auuuw, nice one on the softie rod
Sweet one on the Bumble bee style, nice fight on the softie gear
Kim got into a nice line of fish on the SWF, albiet small fellas but good fun on the fly
Gotta luv the hit and ben on the fly rod
Once again Kim nabs the dinner
That fella again, that Calstar was just slaying them this week
New reef, we call this one Lock N Load, John being the Load.....Skill copy in blue green
Bit further afeild at Cuvier and we had one very BROKEN arrow, FAT fish!!!
Time for some double trouble!
Green Broken Arrow for Kim
Blue power jig for Chuan
Some SWF and softbait action around Cuvier
Sashimi for dinner
Nothing can resist those jigging grubs
More SWF action
The last day we had the HELL BITE on jigs, every drop the guys were getting scoffed, again new jig I ain't seen before, yellow and black and the kings loved it
Chuan with a jig he got railed on all week
The trust spike and Jasper with a real nice fish on jig
This man was on fire ALL week, Calstar loaded to the max, and in the reef at this stage, 80lb fluoro held together though...
YEEEHAAAA...best fish I've seen on jig for a while, Max'd the scales out but I'd say 24kegs
Doubles of fish like this the norm on jigs all day
These fellas got all the tricks......
Kim stuck on an old beaten up jig much like a Rocket but a little different......he was into a line of nice fish
Waht a way to wrap it up, 20 kegs of kingfish on the last drop, on ya KIM!
