catching samsons in perth

[manacubus]

Nice stuff! I've just finished rigging up some bridals on my existing jigs like you've got there on those Chaos', just to see how they'll go. Reckon it's worthwhile ditching the rear trebles?

How do sampsons go on the table? Firm white flesh?

Man hows your back after lifting all those brutes. They are huge!

Well done mate!

hi manacubus

i find a single top hook gives you at least 90% hook up.the fish tend tocome sideways and top down to eat the fish head first.fishing structures or very rocky bottoms i think the bottom treble hook might get hooked up to often.

hi manacubus

i release all the fish i catch,but i have had a young samson of about 6kg for a fish bake(head ,tail,skin off)fish wrapped up in al foil spiced with all kinds of herbs and spices and either oven baked or on top of bbq and it came out very well.

i think a bigger fish would be to dry when cooked.
