Yesterday me, my brother and his mate Jack Clarke went out for a fish, we were stocked up on some new jigs I got and as usual had a few softbait sets ready to go.
Slow day at first got a few pannies for dinner but nothing amazing. We moved spots a few times until we found some incredible sign and then it was all on. We had a perfect drift through hundreds of metres of snapper and bait sign.
First thing I dropped down an Oceanangler Coin Drop in the orange and black colour. Ben (my brother) sent down an orange Oceanangler 60g micro jig and Jack relied on the trusty Z-Man Atomic Sunrise 7".
It was a triple hook up with the biggest fish being Jacks, at 14lb and followed by bens at 12lb. I got the small one!
Jack followed up with another 15lber while me and ben got the occasional pannie, however the orange knife jig was doing better than my kabura.
We repeated the drift over and over until Jack hooked into what we thought had to be a kingfish with the amount of line it was pulling. Ben was also hooked up to a healthy snapper which he was trying to boat quickly to avoid a tangle/lost fish.
Jack's fish turned out to be a 28lb behemoth, it's surfacing was followed by a lot of yelling and swearing from us
A quick photo was taken and the fish was vented and sent back down to the depths. Awesome day
