Few weeks ago,
we decided to test new spot that a friend found earlier,
left the shora at 1:00 pm that the tide will be at its peak at 1:30 we are looking for low water and current.
at the spots around 20 minutes later, on a bali traditional local boats we were, that has 2 outrigger as balancing buoys.
We prepared our 500 grams modified jigs yellow-red color GID - glow in the dark,
Drop the jig into the 120 meters depth water, and start playing the lure.
it doesnt take long to get our first strike. on the 15th stroke we had a strike !!
the fish start to fight back, trying to getaway from our shout hooks #11,
but after around 8 minutes the fish were landed, its a Ruby snapper 9 - 10 kilos.
take a break a bit, then we started to jig again, this time on bright yellow jig, with modified rubber squid tail on the hooks.
again, 2nd strike doesnt take long, this one the same ruby snapper but bigger, a 13 kilos landed. total that day, we got 4 9-13kilos ruby and a small 4 kilos ruby snapper, and a mackerel on trolling on the way back. this mackerel were slashed by marlin that we saw jumped, but seems missed.
at 5 pm we went back to the shore, the ride back were rough and rain. when fishing weather are cloudly already. but even we were wet, this was a great trip.
here the picture of a friend hold our first fish landed
