Title: Sambo jiggy !!
Post by: Hon-Su Chin on January 09, 2010, 09:40:30 PM

Last Sunday decided to take a mate out on a charter boat to jig for sambos. It was my 2nd trip for the season and his first in 4yrs.
Plenty of fish out there, ranging from 15kg to HUGE!!
Some pics....

Started with PE 8 and landed a few in the 20-25kg range.
Switched to lighter gear, on PE5...

Skipper picked up some crays on the way home and came up with this JUMBO!!

One of the punters managed to turn the charter's rod into a 3pc!!
