North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

It doesnt have to be a horse...just your PB

fish from my neck of the woods time to find some pics stay tuned

Here is some DHUFISH unique to the westcoast, the 1 on the far left is 18kg and is me holding it with my other dhu for the day, we got 6 all up for the day, boat limit is 2 per day now, was 2 per person

Hi everyone,
This is a pic of my brothers Sambo he caught down the south coast of W.A. I recall the fish being a solid specimen and its weight being in the vicinity of 40kg +, the Sambo was released but left its mark on my bro, giving him a twisted back....ha SOFT!

Cheers

Carnies, circus folk, small hands and smell like cabbage.

Not my Pb but still a good couple of Dhu fish I am still learning how to crop photos properly

Strike me! That's a flippin lunker!
Awesome dhu! Shame we don't have those things over here.

This is a mate's sambo he caught only a few weeks back

I grew up in Busselton and would frequently fish off the Busselton Jetty. During the months of September through to mid November, squid would appear in plauge proportions and following the squid would be schools of medium to large and even monsterous Samson fish.
I was lucky enough to land a few large Sambo's from the Busselton Jetty, one time I landed two on handlines around the 24kg mark a piece with a broken arm in a cast, I'll post the pics soon.
The fish below weighed in at 24kg, it was a surprise to say the least, especially since it was caught on a handline. I was fishing towards the end of the Jetty, so after the fish was beat I had to haul it up six meters from the water to the top with my cliff gaff. God I miss those days.
